Q: Mr. Hodson, anything new on Wilan (WIN)? Very frustating stock, on which I lost 42% ? Surprisingly, First Call Earnings Valuation Report has 1 hold, 0 buy and 6 strong buy. Thomson Reuters provides a consensus recommendation of 1.57 (which is a strong rating). I believe you advised a hold on the stock. Any future there ?

Q: Hi my question is regarding ird international road dynamics. Do the forms of dividend income via their 50% interest in china xpct seem normal? Also with the cash they have in hand, and with an increase in rev for a 4th consectutive quarter (q1 2014) should it warrant a stock value above $1 based on the trailing fiscal eps @ a reasonable 10x taking cash into consideration.

Or is there something else keeping the stock around 70 cents that u see.

Q: Hello All!

Thank you again for the splendid service! My question is related to Patient Home Monitoring. This penny stock recently signed a letter of intent to purchase another company with 14 million in yearly revenue. This purchase is expected to be immediately accretive. Sill, the stock price continues to be weak. Can you please comment on this companies financials and it's prospects over the next two years.

Is this a good company to take a substantial position in? Are there any other micro caps in the healthcare industry that you feel would be a better risk?

Thanks again!

DON

Q: Hello 5i Team,
In my portfolio I am holding GOOG (6 shares); APPL (30 shares); and HD (295 shares). I also hold 4200 shares of ZSP and 3000 shares of XSP. Apple is the largest holding at 2.82%, Google 1.86% and Home Depot .66% of assets in both ETFs. I am thinking that I should sell my individual shares and buy more names from your new model. portfolio. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your wonderful service.

Q: I currently have half positions in Algonquin AQN and Innergex INE. I see you rate Capital CPX high. Would you suggest selling one or both and replacing them with CPX? I would incur a small capital gain which I have losses to offset. I am not concerned about diversification as I have a full position in ALA, with half positions in IPL, PPL, ENB.

Q: Hi Peter,

I'm all for simplicity when it comes to maintaining a portfolio, and my question is two-fold:

- Could you recommend a two or three ETF portfolio (Canadian ETFs preferably) that would allow for both long-term equity growth (domestic and international) and monthly income?

Would a mix of XWD with CDZ/VDY (or XTR) fit this criteria, or are there better alternatives?

- Would you recommend such a strategy? What would I be giving up by following this strategy, and how would you tweak it and yet keep it simple?

My goal is to have a straightforward ETF portfolio and to make monthly investments to the ETFs. Please note that there would be no fees for buying the ETFs since I use Questrade.

Thanks!
