Q: As with many other subscribers, I will start with expressing my thanks and compliments for your great service.
I have held Boston Pizza for some time. The monthly distribution has offered a good return in the past and it looks even better as a result of the falling price of the stock. Presently it is about 6.9%; do you see any reason why this might be reduced?
After about a year of slipping, do you see any hope for the stock price to improve?
Thanks, Leonard

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I want to start playing a little defence. I do have a well diversified portfolio which I am pleased with. However I do believe in the Boy Scouts motto of being prepared. Prepared for the unexpected or next recession which many analysts say is 12-18 months down the road. So I am thinking of getting some gold which has been flat for a considerable time which may be a plus when considering timing. So please give me a couple of gold stocks that are currently under valued and one can be a contrarian play as I will add several to my holdings. Also do you think I might be too early and should wait for pull backs? Thanks for your consistent excellence!

Q: Interested in a longer term (3-5 years), relatively safe stock (low Beta) with a good dividend and perhaps a little growth.
What is your opinion of POW and PWF at this time? Which would you prefer?
Or is there another similar stock you would recommend?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
What is your opinion of a recent suggestion by Larry Berman that "If you want to replace it (BCE), he would look at ZWU-T because it gives you all the Telco's. It gives you a couple in the US as well as pipelines and utilities. He is not looking for a lot more downside. It pays north of 6%".
We own BCE in my RRIF (up slightly) and my wife's RRSP (down quite a bit) and am wondering about Berman's strategy. As always, your advice is valued immensely.

Q: Hello 5i
I note that CAR.UN has been on amazing ride upwards. I own over 4,000 shares since 2010 @ approx. 10.67/Sh. So I am happy to see the shares are appreciating. But I wonder why this is happening in the last month or so, especially in a period when interest rates are pointing higher. Is someone accumulating for some reason? Or is there anything else I am not aware about.

Thanks for your insights and keep up the great service.
Joseph

Q: Last week, Resverlogix received a positive confirmation from the FDA that it would likely support approval of BETon MACE based on the result of its Phase 3 study. The stock moved up ~28% today. It shows great promise in treating types of cardiovascular disease. From your experience, is it normal for the FDA to offer a positive comment? Would you have an opinion based on the FDA comment to open a position? I am a prudent investor yet have room for higher risk opportunities.
Thank you

Q: Hi guys I held these 2 companies for along while and both seem to be in a state of suspended animation .and I have been slightly underwater on both.
The div is good and grew on both but the cap loss is bothersome and the lack of interest by the market is constant.
Would you move on and look for more growth opportunities
Kind regards
Stan

Q: It's getting a little scary to see such huge profits in my portfolio (Cash, TFSA, RRIF). I know you are flexible about percentages, so I'd like your opinion on whether to reduce the following equities and by how much?

SIS 7% ; BABA 6% ; NVDA 9%; SHOP 8% ; ALGN 6% ; DOL 9% ; PBH 9%.
Many thanks for all your thoughtful advice.

Q: Hi there,

If one were buying NFI and TSGI today - would you add equal weight into both positions, or would you be adding a larger position to TSGI over NFI? In other words, if the combined weighting was 7% between the 2 names, would you do 3.5 in each, 4/3, etc? My investing goal would be to achieve higher growth but still maintain diversification between the two holdings.

Thanks!
