Q: Hello Peter and the 5i Team,

For a $21,000 RRSP, would you recommend only ETF's, and if so, which ones that would reflect the kind of holdings in the Model Portfolio?

Or alternatively, if trading costs through a discount broker are $10 per stock, and I wanted to purchase at least 15 names from the model portfolio, which 5 of the 20 names could I neglect? My thinking is that while some ETF purchases could be commission-free through Scotia iTrade, the on-going MER's of the ETFs would cut into the returns. In this scenario, the $150 trading costs don't seem excessive over time.

As usual, thanks for your thoughtful answers. Your service is first-rate!

Q: Hi Peter,

What are your thoughts on the JP Morgan Tarp Warrants, JPM.WS currently at $17.43/share. The exercise price is $42 until October 2018. Currently JPM is at 56.00, say 57, therefore my break even is 17.43+42 = $59.43/share until October 2018. One could with some degree of confidence say that JPM should be higher than 60.00/share by October 2018 even assuming their current 6.00 EPS for the next 5 years.

Q: Hi Peter and company
I was wondering whether you could comment on an ETF which holds water-related companies. The ticker is CWW. It has done very well over the last few years but is fairly thinly traded and I would appreciate your opinion on water as a long-term investing theme.

Many thanks,
Joanne

Q: bHi Peter and team

Could you comment on the the First National preferred share, FN.PR.A. At the current price of 16.00 it yields 7.27% which seems high. It is a rate reset and converts to Floating Rate at 207 bps over the GOC 5 year index in 2016. So it has some inflation protection. Is there a risk here that I don't see. Thanks

Q: Amazingly fast reply to my comments on IPL.UN.
Would appreciate an update & opinion on GNV. Next quarterly is due to report this week. Again, thanks Peter & all staff for your excellent & very accurate reporting.

Q: Not a question - just a comment from someone last week with regard to IPL.UN - ie: no listing of Officers /Directors holding common shares. There are no shares per se as this entity was structured as a Limited Partnership. A change is being made, almost immediately to convert to a corporation. meeting is scheduled

Q: I'm looking at CXS and thinking about picking up a position. I understand its expensive, but growing quickly. What are relevant multiples for this industry (EV/EBITDA, P/E, etc.) and where is CXS currently trading? What kind of growth is expected in the balance of this year and in the following years. Thanks
