Q: Hi again 5i team,
This is a followup to yesterday's question re Journey Energy JOY. This morning JOY updated their website and unlike yesterday, there is now very good information re this newly 'IPO'd company. Even with the information publicly available now, I would still appreciate your expert opinion on their strategy and managment team.

Q: I am a 5i member since day 1 and I want to first of all wish Peter a speedy recovery and wish him all the best for his efforts not only to guide so many people in making better investment decisions but also making positive contributions to the society.
I want to particularly comment on the negative comments by one of the members. Making investment decisions is one's own responsibility. Even though I got very good advice from 5i to invest in quality companies, I always went the other way by investing in more risky companies. I wish I had always invested in 5i recommended companies or their growth portfolio and I would have been at least twice as rich. 5i - keep up the good work.

Q: Peter; RE; LJ.s beyond belief rant- I strongly suggest he/she is either a Mutual Fund salesperson and/or
a frustrated Investment Advisor trying to fend off clients questions as to why their portfolios are not performing . I am willing to wager that anyone who
read the outburst would applaud your offer to refund his very large yearly fee you charge - and send him/her out of this platform. Please do us this favour. Rod

Q: Peter,
I'm very glad to hear that you're improving after the bike accident! I enjoy the insightful comments from both you and Ryan, and you have a wealth of company and stock information as well as experience. I am curious about your thoughts on portfolio returns. The results of the 5i portfolios have been outstanding since inception. But I don't know of any fund manager that would ever promise such great returns! My question is - what is a reasonable expectation for annual equity return (capital gain + dividend) over a five year time frame?

Q: I enjoyed your level and straight forward response to LJ (June 28th) somewhat emotional and short sighted question.
Q: I have always put in limit orders and have never worried about putting in orders in 100 lots. I put in an odd lot with a week expiration. Part was filled that day, the other part the next day. I was charged the commission both times. Is that normal?
Q: Hi Team..Peter - I do hope you are mending. I have sent in a contribution to your cancer ride and have my fingers crossed for you.
First question; I would like to increase my Info Tech holdings to be about 15% of my stock holdings. I own DH Corp, Enghouse, Constellation, Syologist and Avigilon all adding up to 11.6% of my entire 3 PFs (which have most of your 2 PFs stocks and a few extra. Any sugguestions for good growth over the next 2 years or so - small cap is OK! Or I can add to one of the above (which would you suggest?)My second question is I now have 38 holdings including some CBO CDZ ZRE and BYD.UN. Am I now too diversified??
thanks so much for all you do ...get better!

Q: Hi 5i,
I have 3 out of 3 dissappointments bot jun 18th wks ago.
DSG just announced dilution at $13.50. current price $15.04(dwn 4%). I got the impression you did not like companies that do this.
SGY down 4%
AVO down 11%
It's nice when you quote a 35% gain in your portfolio but that hasn't help my results to date.
I would have appreciated the advice that the market has outrun itself & Jun 18th was a time of wait, not buy.
What can u tell me that is realistic about these three underperformers & when I might expect to see something more like the 35% returns you tout in your model portfolio.

Q: Hi Peter, I am thinking about selling my WIN stocks at a loss in my TFSA. What would you recommend as a replacement. As I'm underwater I'm looming to make up for this to regain some equity in my TFSA,so maybe not too high risk but still with growth potential, it doesn't have to be in tech.
Thanks
Thanks
Q: Hi Peter, Manitok Energy (MEI) has had a nice move up recently. Are you aware of any reason for the move? Are you still positive on this company?
Thanks and hope you are back on the bike soon. Rob

Q: HI Peter. My question is how big do you plan to take this newsletter? I hope that you stick with quality over quantity. Better to have fewer great stocks to watch than a lot of sosos. Thanks, and keep up the good work. It will pay off for us all in the end. Cheers, John Dufresne, L'Orignal, Ont.

Q: Hello,
This is kind of a follow up of a previous question. In my RRSP I have the following ETFs: ZRE, XRB, VBK, VCN, VDY, VXUS and XSB.
I would like to replace XSB (around 30K) with something that provides more growth. I was thinking an energy basket, either an ETF or 2-4 energy (related) stocks.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
Marios

Q: Hi Peter & team. I would like your views on RON.PR.A. I realize that the company has been struggling for the past few years, which may explain the price of these preferred shares. I like the fact that it is a reset type. Do you think it represents good value? Do you think it is too risky in a well diversified portfolio, where the weighting would be less than 2% overall? My other preferred holdings are HPR, EQB.PR.A and CF.PR.A. Thanks again.
Q: Tio Networks (TNC) reported what appears to be much improved quarterly numbers this week as the impact of their Globex Financial acquisition kicks in. Would you agree?
Q: Hi Peter and Team, just an FYI for all who are interested in Surge, SGY. I believe the CEO will be on BNN today on Weekly with Andrew McCreath, I believe at 4:30 pm ET. Should be interesting if nothing else! Get well soon...Rocky lol Great Cause/Charity Work. Thanks!
Q: Hi 5i: I'd like to invest in one or more companies that focus on cloud computing. Could you suggest some possibilities, either Canadian or US?
