Q: Good Morning
My average cost on ALA is $38.00 and the weight around 2%. I have two questions:
1. Would you recommend that I average down at the current stock price.
2. If so, should I be buying ALA or ALA.r (receipts)
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
What is the optimum % of cash to have on hand in an account? I know you frown upon market timing, but I was thinking to hold 5-10% in cash, to top up my positions in stocks within my portfolio during downswings in the market.
Thanks and keep up the great work.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
The other question I have is with regards to a previous answered question, where you mentioned across a RRSP, Investment and TFSA, the recommended breakdown is 6 stocks in the RRSP, 6 in the investment and 8 in the TFSA.
Since my RRSP holds 85% of my capital, would it be better to weigh the stocks as 12 stocks in the RRSP, 4 each in the Investment/TFSA, or is it better to follow the breakdown of 6/6/8?
Thanks again for the great work you do.

Q: My wife and I have decided to move our investments from our current advisor to a more self directed option. We have looked at Tangerine and are intrigued but also heard about Wealthsimple. I can't seem to find much for reviews on Wealthsimple and what I've found sounds more like an ad rather than a review. What are your thoughts on Wealthsimple and further what are your thoughts on Tangerine? Is there something better out there than either of them? Thank you very much for your time.

Q: Hi, Shopify's share price has gone up a lot in the past 3 months. Do you think if there's still much growth potential for it's stock?
Q: Their latest annual report really impressed me, significant inroads made into reducing debt, and truly no debt to deal with until 2020. Should they maintain earnings, or even grow slightly, they seem really undervalued. I know the Orange Capital share overhang issue held them back now, but do you know why there is this lack of interest in shares now? I would have expected a huge increase with today's announcement. Is the NYSE de-listing that large of a concern? Just having trouble understanding why this isn't a strong buy right now.
Q: Would appreciate a comment on yesterday's earnings and the possibility of their running out of money in 12 months.
Q: Good morning, could i have your opinion on BCI earnings please?

Q: I hold these energy stocks in the following percentages 5%FRU and 2% each of the others in a non-reg. acct. I plan to keep FRU and am considering selling one of the other 3 (all down about 30%). The question is am I premature in selling, or would it be prudent to wait for a bit more of a rebound, or, if selling which one would you suggest. I am a retired income oriented investor and would probably re-invest in a different sector. Thanks,
John

Q: Hi 5i,
For the 5i income portfolio, what would 5i suggest as suitable replacement for
FLOT, Loblaw, SLW, SGY, DH preferably with stocks or etf yielding at least 3.5%. Would VET be a good replacement for SGY?
For a $100,000 portfolio you have 19 stocks
How many more stocks would you add if the portfolio is $500,000 or $1,000,000
Thanks.

Q: I have a small holding in GIB.A and would like to add to it or sell it. It's been going nowhere for a year now. There was a big spike in volume this morning - any news? I also have DSG and OTEX and could sell CGI and add to these or another teck such as KXS.
Thanks

Q: nyrt -has itself up for sale /liquidation -can you comment on its prospects and/or likely ultimate valuation?
Q: I hold Cineplex in my balanced portfolio. And I also have an income portfolio. With your news of Cineplex coming out of the 5iR Balanced Portfolio, I'm wonder if you would consider it as an inclusion in an Income Portfolio if the income portfolio was to be expanded by a few more positions, knowing your preference is for 20, or whether it would just be added to a list of entities for consideration for an income portfolio......Thanks....Tom
