Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I am willing to build a portfolio comparable to 5i Balanced Equity Portfolio over the next year / year and a half. Can you please group holding into three or four groups so I will retain diversify throughout? Can you put them in order of which group should be owned first?

CCL and CSU are quite expensive. Can you suggest a substitute with equivalent merits?

Which is it better to have this portfolio in a registered or non-registered account?

Thanks for the great service.

Q: An article in the Globe Nov 15 pointed out the positives on this junior minor, including its first pour on Nov. 7 and projected 70,000 ounces in 2017. Stock price has fallen back to 73 cents from its peak at 99 cents a few weeks ago. There would seem to be support around 70-75 cents, after its run up from 25 - 30 cents early this year. Do you have any update to your earlier commentary? This would be for a speculative 1% position.
Red Eagle is now on the TSX under symbol R, formerly RD on the Venture.

Q: I understand there is an ETF that could provide some protection in case of a down market,I believe these are called inverse ETF. I looked in the ETF section and only found one mention of inverse ETF and not sure I understood how it worked.
Any info would help as I am looking to buy "insurance" protection.
Thanks

Q: Peter and Ryan, appreciate all that you do both with this service and with your blogs and bnn segments.

My question/comment is valuation based. I began investing a few years ago and was taught/told and preached how important valuation plays as a factor in stock picking. A few years later said value/cheap stocks I got in generally underperformed while all the higher valued companies continue to appreciate. Just this past summer I held off on such stocks with strong fundamentals such as BIP.UN, CSU, NVDA, RBA and MTY because of "expensive" valuations only to continue to watch them go higher as I've seen this story play out time and time again since I began investing. So now I concentrate on fundamentals and technicals for confirmation and not so much valuations. I know you guys don't mind paying up for quality and growth generally so just wanting your thoughts and comments on the matter. Thanks.
