Q: Tellza seems to have a decent financial performance, the company is repurchasing shares yet the stock is not moving. Is it the small size or there is something else that holds it back. Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi Team,
I understand that this is a little bit outside the focus of 5i, but I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on TOUR after the investments made on Friday by large firms like Sequoia and Temasek. Could this be China's version of PCLN?
Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i,
Just following up on my question about hedge funds and hedge fund ETFs.
I have found a list of some hedge fund ETFs that have over $100M US in assets and >25K average daily trading volume (for liquidity reasons) and was wondering if any of them would be an acceptable alternative to directly investing in an actual hedge fund. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated, recognizing this is a bit off the main track of your advice.
Here they are:
QAI - IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF
WDTI - Managed Futures Strategy Fund
RLY - SPDR Multi-Asset Real Return ETF
ALFA - AlphaClone Alternative Alpha ETF
MNA - IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF
Thank you very much.
Michael

Q: Hi 5i
Thx for your help and bang for my buck. There is no comparison to other investment advice I have encountered. My question is with regards to an investment site called american bulls ( japanese candlesticks ).They also have a Canadian version. It works well for trading stocks especially commodity stocks such as SGY and FM and TCK.B to name a few. I am mostly buy and hold but have traded in a TFSA and I find the signals to be fairly accurate especially when things happen quickly as in the oil and material sectors.

Q: Good morning 5I team,
Since REITs are included in the Financial Sector, I'm guessing there is no reason to have to hold any, as long as I have a good sector percentage. Is that correct? It seems that many people hold them primarily for income. Since I have about 8 years to retirement, and a decent pension at that time, I tend to focus on growth.
Thanks for everything!

Q: Hi 5i,
On May 06 you mentioned that BEP.UN is "ok but not great". The rating on the last report was maintained at "A" (highest ranking). Would the rating be lowered if you were to rank it as of right now? Do you think it is a good buy in opportunity from the recent decline?

Q: Hi Guys
When you look at the sheer number of people within a 5 hour flight from Macau compared to Vegas you would think this gambling stock Las Vegas Sands with a nice dividend has a bright future.
What concerns me is the low book value,compared to the price of the stock.Do they not have valuable real estate holdings.
Finally how would you explain a sell off like 2008, I believe it went from around $100 down to $3.00. Lastly would you buy this stock around this price.
Thanks!
