Q: Hi 5i, I own IPL since March 2005 in my RIF at cost of $9.63 so I have seen its ups and down for long time but now I am not so sure if I want to keep it, I am thinking of switching to CPX, similar price and dividend, what do you think of the idea or do you have any other suggestions for me. Thank you for your valuable service. M

Q: for my sons RESP can I get your opinion of the 3.25% 5 year GIC being offered by Home Capital? The amount is far below the $100,000 threshold.

Is a safe 3.25% a reasonable rate of return for an RESP that I need in 5 years time? Alternatively, would I be better to off with the investment strategy your team outlined which would have a higher potential yield but principle risk.

Your thoughts are appreciated,

Don

Q: Hi 5i team,

Costco has been taking a beating ever since Amazon announced its bid for Whole Foods Market (WFM) three days ago. At the time, it was selling at a premium but today it dropped well below its 200 MA. How much lower would it have to go before you would consider it an attractive buy?
Somehow, I don't see an Amazon-WFM tie up as being particularly threatening to Costco. I would appreciate you view on what the impact might be?

Q: Hi there, I currently only own Canadian equities and am thinking of investing in a few US companies for diversification. What would be your top 3 ideas from the US that would be good additions to your Balanced Equity portfolio? I am okay with names with a tilt towards growth but not super high risky - probably similar to names to CSU, SHOP, KXS, SIS, NFI, TOY, PBH etc.

Thanks!
