Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: When I look at the long term (>2000)net asset value of Alimentation Couche Tard, I notice that for the first twelve years the stock gained nothing. It was only towards the end of 2012 that its price soared. Were there some significant changes in the management,company policies or actions at that time that accounted for this? If not, do we expect the next ten years to be more like 2000-2012 or more like 2012-2106?

Q: Hi 5i,

My investment horizon is +10 years.

My interest is in REITS and Retirement Home Funds. My thoughts are that the future is pretty safe in these investments, but especially so in the Victoria area. I am wondering if you are aware of funds that are diversified, but have an extra or special focus in the Victoria area. Please deduct two questions if you like.

Such a wonderful service 5i !!!

Q: Hello 5i team,
Once a year, I look into trimming the number of stocks that do not seem to go anywhere in the foreseeable future.
After FSV split in June 2015 between CIGI and FSV, CIGI has dropped by 9% whereas FSV has increased by 69%; I'm thinking of selling CIGI
MDA also gives me trouble and I'm not sure what to do with it.
Please advise, disregarding their respective sector weights
Antoine

Q: Hello and Merry Christmas to all at 5I.
Moving forward I have new funds to add to my portfolio in the fixed income sector. My RRSP portion is fully utilized for fixed income using CBO and XBB so this is new fixed income funds outside of a sheltered account should I still use XBB/CBO or is there some other fixed income source that would be more beneficial that I should consider.

Q: I hold both Blue Ribbon Income Fund ( 6.4% dividend) and Canoe EIT income fund (10.2% dividend ) Blue Ribbon is 6% of my total portfolio and Canoe is 1% of portfolio. Would appreciate your thoughts on both of these and would you suggest selling and if so what would you purchase.
Second question, a little out of the box but if you wanted to start a risk portfolio, maybe 2 stocks, which ones would you recommend. By risk I mean potential to lose but with a potential upside to make a big profit in the next year or two. You might call this a speculation portfolio that has the money you can afford to lose.

Regards

Wayne
I just joined in July and do enjoy the information you put forth.

Q: I have a half position in PLI and, with it being down this much as of late, I am considering buying more. Looks like there may be technical support just above $2. Though the consistent downward trend is somewhat worrying. In a situation like this would you suggest waiting to see if the stock turns around a little or just buy with the understanding that the current value looks good to me. I understand the issues with trying to time something just looking for thoughts on this stock in this context. Thanks!
