Is that your classification too? If not, what Sectors do you assign to them?
Thanks

Q: Hi guys,

According to a Halifax newspaper article, DHX will co-produce 130+ episodes of original animation + acquire rights to 1,000 half hours of Dreamworks kids shows. I don't know much about the deal; but that seems like a lot of content with a major animation studio! Are you worried about the debt levels though? I noticed debt moved from 'Low' to 'High' from the last 2 reports, yet their content library keeps growing. Just wondering if you like what's been happening lately.

Thanks again!

Elliott

Q: In response to Brenda, the Liberal government has made it clear that the TFSA limit for 2016 is going to be $5,500, so there really isn't a reason to put $10,000 in for 2016 even if the legislation isn't finalized by January 1, 2016.

At best, you will have the administrative headache of later having to remove the amount without penalty. At worst, you will have the administrative headache of later having to remove the amount plus a penalty for the over-contribution.

Q: Striker Exploration's November 2015 presentation on their website indicates debt at 1.2, $38 Million in unused credit, 33% insider ownership and "no chance of insolvency".
It is always difficult to ask about a company's survivability considering livelihoods are involved and lives are affected. Given that, how would you rate Surge Energy, Spartan Energy and Striker surviving through this pricing war based on the assumption that it will take twenty-four to thirty months before prices regain their footing to at least the $60-$65 level?
Thank you.

Q: I see in an article (Globe and Mail) that the Liberal govt announced (yesterday) the limit for 2016 is $5500. Since it is not yet legislation, and maybe unlikely to become legislation in the next 23 days, if one contributed $10,000 (the legal limit) could one be penalized for the excess? or forced to withdraw the excess? I realize you are not the decision maker, but am curious as to your opinion based on your experience.

Q: Peter; What do you make if the negative interest rate statement by the BOC? Is it a sigh of weakness ( no pun intended) in our economy or just forward planning? Thanks.Rod

Q: Wondering if 5i members looking for U.S. diversification might benefit from cherry picking equities from the top ten holdings of ETF funds. Not sure if there are conflicts of interest when ETF funds make their selections.
Happy Holidays!

Q: I didn't get any allotment on the Hydro One IPO and the price shot up after it went public so I stayed away. H has retrenched to 21.90. Do you see this as a good price for an income investor? Given a choice of H or FTS, which would you recommend?

Q: Hi 5i,
For direct exposure to renewable power would you be ok with RNW? I already own BEP.UN and AQN. The juicy yield is appealing.

Thanks in advance!
