Q: SPRYLOGICS 0.58 cents is down over 20% the past month. Do you think it will recover?

On my watchlist, PTS 18.21 up 30% in one month. URTHE CAST 3.17 up 40% in one month. FTP 4.15 up 84% in one month. Are some of the better performers on my watchlist. Do they all look like they've gotten farther upside?

Thank you very much,
Dennis

Are you familiar with this management team Would you recommend buying this company for primarily income and a long term hold Your previous comment was not very favourable on the company

If you don't give this one a buy recommendation could you suggest another income stock

Thank you so much

Q: Hi 5i:

I am in the process of boosting the fixed income portion of my portfolio (knowing full well that nothing interesting is really fixed). I hold a preferred share ETF, a convertible share ETF, some short term laddered bond ETFs, and a high yield bond ETF. I'd like to add an income fund, and I'm more concerned about not losing capital than getting a lot of growth. AW lost less than BPF during the recession, and though BPF has gained more since, AW has done better from pre to post recession. I'd appreciate your advice as to which (if any) of these two to pick. Given my goals, do you have a better suggestion? As always, thanks for your great advice.

Q: Hello,

I sat in on a presentation by Jeremy Siegel and his view was/is that demographics combined with supply and demand are playing a large part in interest rates staying lower for longer. With such a large segment of the population searching for yield, it has pushed interest rates down, and will keep them down while the boomers go through old age. Obviously there are many combined reasons for why interest rates are low, but I would like your thoughts on this view and his belief that interest rates will stay relatively low for an extended period of time.

Thanks

Robert
