Q: Hi Peter and the team,

I acquired stn in middle of 2013 which did well in that year, then it stayed flat in 2014. Recently, it goes in opposite way from TSX like today for example. Anything wrong with this name? Should I sell it and move on to other name? Do their projects involve with energy related business? Their debt level is about 22.5% to their capital (based on data posted by TD water house), which is low comparing with their peers such as SNC. What is your view of this company this year?

Q: Good morning Peter and the 5i Team,

Just a suggestion to Peter who recently asked a question about parking some cash for 6 months plus. He quoted an interest rate of 1.25% for "a high interest (LOL) investment account". Oaken Financial (a division of Home Capital (HCG) which is in 5i's Model Portfolio is offering 1.75% on their savings account. I have found dealing with Oaken to be very pleasant and they are certainly efficient.
