Q: Hello 5i,
I have purchased these companies because of long term charts, size and stability, sector diversification, and the nice dividend. Though I do monitor the companies occasionally, the companies have little information available. Can I relax a little to the factors stated?
ZURICH INSURANCE (ZURVY), SSE PLC (SSEZY), BELGACOM (BGAOY), AUSTL&N ZEALND BK (ANZBY. You folks are the best.
Thanks

Q: I am looking to add BDI, which is in your model portfolio, to my portfolio. The share price has been dropping quite steadily since mid June and is down almost 9% in that time frame. It is down 1.5% to-day. Are there developments I am unaware of which are causing this significant downtrend in a market that is up (a bit)? Or is this a buying opportunity?

Q: Hello Team:
Being close to 70 and having all our portfolio in stocks, should I be considering moving a chunk of money into bonds? Some I am considering are Templeton Emerging Markets (TEI),Pimco Strategic Income (RCS) and Phillips Hager&North (PH&N). I have confidence long term in the market, but am somewhat uneasy of being caught in old age in large downturn. That said, I am willing to accept some risk for better return. I realize this is a big question, but any help you can provide me to structure some sort of plan would be most appreciated.
All the best

Q: Hello 5I

I have recently seen an analyst report looking at forward earnings for AYA. I believe that they estimated 2.50/share for F2016. A forward multiple of 15x would put AYA into the 37.50/sh range. My questions are:
1 Do you believe that this is a reasonable projection based on the current state of the company?
2 Do you foresee any issues with the shareholders rejecting the deal and/or the deal not going through?

I have already trimmed this position once after the news came out -at a tidy profit- and it is currently sitting at 10% of the PF. As this is a conservative PF I would rather play it safe however most of the initial capital has been recouped from the trimming.

As always I look forward to your thoughts!
Have a safe charity ride and stay healthy!

Q: Peter et al,
I bought Gluskin Sheff at $20.37 and it has risen approx 50%. Fabrice Taylor on BNN last week suggested to always take a profit when you can, but I think it deserves more consideration than that. What do you think its prospects are? Would a move to another financial e.g Cannacord CF be advisable? I already have Alaris, Element, Counsel, & Fiera. Also Davis & Henderson if it is considered a financial. They make up 23% of my portfolio. Thanks in advance for your advice.
