Q: Hi team
I have $6000 USD in a USD investing accounting and already own EMR Emerson. I would like to split this into US Healthcare and US Technology but cannot decide whether to go with ETF's in each or two individual stocks. I am looking for growth moreso than dividend. Which way would you recommend I go and if so which ETF's or stocks ?
Regards
Kathy

Q: Would you please give me a quick rating for the following companies: Concordia (CXR), DH Corp (DH), Boyd Fund (BYD.UN) and CGI Group (GIB.A) -- in the A, B, C rating that 5I does. I realize a full analysis is impossible, but just wondered in a "wish list" of descending companies, which would you choose for a post-Christmas present to yourself, for growth in 2015? Thanks.

Q: Hi,

From 06/30/2013 to 06/30/2014 BYD.UN posted 5 quarters in a row with negative net earnings, yet the stock performed very well. Short interest has also risen during the same period from almost 0% to currently over 7.5%. Revenues, operating income and cash flow all increased over the same period, which I am assuming is what the market liked and focused on. My question is, do the negative net earnings concern you, or is this something that can be explained and justified either from acquisitions they made over the period, or certain accounting practices they use?

Thanks for the great service in 2014!

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year.
12% of my portfolio is in Health/Pharma which comprises CCT, CPH, CXR, GUD, RX and XHC; is there a point to adding CRH which is similar to RX?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: It's been about a year since your previous comment on this junior uranium stock. I bought when it was north of $12 so I've taken quite a hit. Would you recommend I continue to hold? Thank you

Q: I'm getting ready to make my 2015 TFSA contribution for myself and my wife and I'm looking at Delphi for a 3+ year hold. I only have a 5% weighting in my portfolio to energy and would like to take a full 5% position in DEE. I'm well diversified across most other industries. Do you feel we've bottomed in energy sector and would Friday Jan 2 be a good time to start my position in DEE? Thoughts?

Q: Godd afternoon 5i,

Most of the advisors that I see on BNN are suggesting that the US Market is the place to be for 2015 espacially in the Finance area and the technology area. Do you agree with these suggestions? If you do would you recommend that I invest for My RRSP in XLF.US and XLK.US?

Thank you and happy new year.

Paul
