Q: Good day 5i Team, I have a diversified registered stock portfolio loosely mirroring 5i's balanced leaning toward growth stocks (with Europe & US dividend etf exposure). I am long term with this but am looking for hedge against any broad market declines. Can you briefly explain and recommend inverse etf's as a suitable hedge against this.
Thank you for your valued advice
Thanks for the great service! I purchased KXS when it was added to the Balanced Equity portfolio at 5% weighting. It has performed well and is now about a 7% weighting in my portfolio. Their results are coming out shortly which I presume may have the ability to move the stock much higher or much lower. In your opinion, should I trim my 7% weight to 5% BEFORE or AFTER the results?
Q: Market seems to like the latest quarter. I have some cash to put to work.
I like what this management team has done historically. Sold when 5i did last year.Any comments.
Q: We are elderly and fully invested in 23 dividend paying stocks now, and have full positions in TRP, IPL and PPL. I am considering selling IPL and PPL down to a 1/2 position, adding to my VET and AAR.UN to bring each of them to 2/3 pos'n and taking a 2/3 pos'n in EIF. I should add that our present portfolio is 28% in the green with nothing in the red and I manage it daily. Do my changes sound reasonable to you given the present environment? Thanks, Ted
Q: Hi 5i; I sold all my natural gas stocks well over a year ago and would now like to get back in, slowly. Can you suggest a couple of stocks I should consider? Many thanks for your advice.
Q: PHILLIPS 66 (PSX:NYSE)... I am looking for a combination of refiners for a pullback. The movement in the oil/gasoline is indicating that prices will retract again from current levels. I would like your thoughts on Phillips 66 and one other to hold for the next 12-18 moths. Consensus is looking at mid 2017 before the market really starts to get a hold of the supply side. Do you see this company able to grow revenues and possibly increase profitability?
Q: With gas price increase and coming heating season, which of these companies would you recommend? If your favorite is any other company, please mention. Thanks
Q: I have been planning to buy a position in Sleep Country but while I was analyzing what positions to reduce t o free up cash, the stock rose 11% on Friday on a very good earnings report. If you did not yet own a position, would you buy now or wait for a pullback?
Q: What is your opinion on using call options on the VIX Short Term Futures ETN (VXX:US) as a hedge against a market decline? I see the VIX index up over 7% today, but the VXX is down slightly. I have noticed this several times. What is the explanation for this divergence and how should it be interpreted?
Q: Hi 5iResearch Team
I am reviewing the tax treatment of distributions for companies I hold shares/units in and I am having trouble finding information on the tax treatment for the distributions from kwh.un, acr.un, apr.un and xhy.

I noticed you posted a report entitled Target price Data but did not see any reference or explanation of what it was for, how it was developed, nor any comments on this board when I did a search.
Q: I would appreciate your views on EIT.UN . It trades at a considerable discount to NAV, and pays almost 11% ( .10/ month nonstop since 2009). Are there hidden dangers lurking?
Q: just a comment , but i am quite sure you guys are missing the boat on maryjane stocks, i own the above 2 and all i do is make money.
