Q: Hello 5i team,
In the sector classified by Globe Investor as "other services", I hold BYD.UN (B+) and CGX (A-) and think of adding KBL (A-) and FSV (B) which I consider as steady eddies discreetly flying under the public radar. Would it be OK to buy them at current prices?
Thanks as usual,
Tony

Q: Re SYZ, On September 5th, the volume jumped to almost 600,000 on the sell side, almost 20 times the 100 day MA of about 31,000. There was a question/comment on this site talking about a new issue yet my source for news (Scotia iTrade) talks about a trading halt on the 4th with a resumption on the 5th. No other news. Can you fill in the blanks? Where, if I am not getting all the news from Scotia iTrade, can access ALL the news?

Q: Hi 5i Team
I am now down to a 2 percent gain on each of BDI and Bad. What will bring back Investor interest to these stock? Analysts all seem very negative on BAD in particular . Should I get out and look for better opportunities?

Q: Hello, when looking at oil and gaz exposure in a portfolio, I assume you combine oil and gaz service companies and producer to assess your overall risk. I was interested in those names: FRC, MCB, VET, PEY and BDI to build a new portfolio. Which ones would you combine or should I buy a smaller piece of each name ? Do you find those names decent buy at the momen ? I can take some risk and anticipate to hold for 5 year +. I would appreciate your general comments. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I had a question about FAM REIT, I realize it is small and a little higher risk. My question is with regards to their dividend is it sustainable now with the higher payout ratio and what about for the long term?

Q: Hello Peter,
I recently opened a joint account funded with cash for my wife and myself. We're starting with a clean slate as we've liquidated some other less interesting holdings to fund the new account.
We're both in our late 30s and will continue to add funds to this account as we can.
From the model portfolio, what holdings would you start with? Our account isn't big enough yet to buy board lots of all of model.
Looking for 5 things that we could buy now.
We already hold BNS, ENB, ESL, and T from the model portfolio.

Q: re:XOM
Hi 5i Team
I'm always a little hesitant to ask about U$ equities as you have stated in the past you're not necessarily following US companies as closely BUT, you were planning on doing more so in the future.
Having said that, if you could please give an opinion the following comment and your thoughts on Exxon in general.
Comment... Oil requirement expectations have been reduced recently and Exxon is down 8% since 3rd week July. At this point I am breaking even not counting a fairly good dividend. And I read a report recently that money would be better spent on Canadian O&G rather than U$.
Do you expect Exxon to improve once we get past Sept & Oct? Would your advice be to sell/hold or buy XOM at this time? And do you think the Canadian O&G is a better place to be for capital growth in comparison to Royal Dutch/CVX/XOM etc...?
Thanks for all you do
