Q: Could I have your take on the - Stonegate Capital Partners Updates Coverage published today. As a summary the report focuses on 7 points regarding the company, specifically the last 3 points IRR, inside ownership and valuation... do you agree with the points they make here? Then generally, do you view this report as useful investment information or do you see it more as an advertisement?

Q: would appreciate any information on this junior

Q: Just curious to what the status is on the Minto Apartment REIT IPO? Can you wait until after the IPO to get in or should one try to get in on the IPO? What will the price be when it goes public? What info do you have on the dividend? Any other information on this would be great.

Thanks, Jimmy

Q: Would you start a position in PIF today at current prices. What percentage of your portfolio would you start with?

Thanks JImmy

Q: This has probably been answered before but I cannot find any reference. I will be having some free space in my TFSA soon and was wondering whether that account would be a good place to hold it, or better to put something higher growth there?
thanks

Q: I currently hold VYMI for large cap international dividend income. There is a fairly new Fidelity product holding international large cap ( FIDI) . Do you see any advantages of FIDI over VYMI? Do you consider VYMI a reasonable ETF for international exposure? It is down recently. Would you continue to hold this investment? Thank you kindly for a comparison of the above efts and for your comments on continuing to hold VYMI.

Hi
Could you please choose from the above list (or any additions of your choice) the stocks that you feel would be best suited to be held in an income/dividend non registered account for a long period of time. It would be great if you could also guide me as to whether I should do equal weight or if it is better to invest by a percentage of one company over another. I am interested in trying to have the highest return of dividends but I do not want to reach too far for it (ie 50% KWH.UN). If I could get a blended 6% annually over 10+ years that would be super. Not all the companies need to be included. I know there are some that overlap sectors.
Thank you for all that you do. You are great guides.

Q: I have a fair chunk of U.S. money in a non registered account. What would be a good investment if any for this money, taking taxes into account. So far have just been benefiting from our sliding currency. I know that we are in the late stages of the market, and really cannot afford to lose a sizeable chunk.

Q: This has been a major disaster in my portfolio. Is there any hope of recovery or should I just simply recognize that it is a dud and sell it?

Q: Dear 5i Team,

Thanks for the great service. Most of my holdings are the ones recommended by you or other conservative dividend paying stocks. This one time, I bought a small amount of KODK few months ago. The news was that KODAK was going to have its own version of bitcoin. Anyways, the stock is down 51%. Do you recommend selling it and take the loss. Also it is in my TFSA, so can't write off capital loss against capital gain.

Q: FAP seems to be a loser, and i am just now starting to weed out the bad and cut back on my stocks. i will be selling FAP, what would be a good stock to replace it with? i am heading into retirement.

Q: I currently hold TCN and REI in my TFSA. I am thinking of selling them and replacing with IIP.UN and CAR.UN. I am looking for income with some growth. Do you recommend this or would you leave things as is or possibly consolidate to just one? If so, which? Weighting is high - 17% for REI and 10% for TCN.
Many thanks for your great service!

Q: Hi, What are your thoughts on ECN after recent earnings?
Price is moving in the wrong direction and there seem to be little in the way of catalysts here to get the share price moving north.

Thank for your opinion.

Q: I've held Boston Pizza for a number of years. thanks to the dividend, I'm still ahead on it, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's the best consumer discretionary stock for an investor well into retirement, albeit with a reasonable pension. Health issues are beginning to have an impact on our savings. Thoughts?

Q: What do you think on the $2B joint venture deal?
Thank you!

Q: Who tests these cannabis products for content and contamination?
Are there any public companies that will benefit from testing fees or selling the hardware.
