Q: Hi Folks:
I notice that ET is in your Income Portfolio but there is no report on it on your site. It has an ROE of 19% and a decent yield. Any bad news that we should know about?

Q: Do you think TRW.US is worth holding weather the takeover goes through or not. I'm looking for more growth in my RRSP. My thoughts are to sell and buy DIS or UA as these stocks seem to be growing well. Or just hold my position. Your thoughts. Thank you for the great service.

Q: Would a portfolio of high quality Canadian preferred shares be suitable for a senior? The senior is 80, does not need the income, does not expect to need the funds within 5 years, but is looking for higher yield (vs GICs), with limited downside risk (in case any funds are required). Possible companies: Loblaw, Fortis, TransCanada, etc.

One concern is interest rates: if rates increase (e.g. over 5-10 years), is there significant risk that the stock price will decrease (i.e. similar to a bond)?

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and team Re LRE J. O'Connell on BNN has a negative view on this div. payer and feels the div. is too high. TD sources tell me the div. is 7.8% , EPS .24cents , payout ratio 86%,and BF $4.91 He preferes WCR and CPG with payout ratios of 272% and 456% respectfully. I kmow they both have lower D/G ratios but it seems to me LRE has some new drilling properties and a good recent track record. What is your opinion thanks Paul

Q: Hello Peter and 5I team,

Would you please comment on KEL on TSX? KEL released it's result today. I'd like to know your thoughts about the result and it's future performance. Specially compare it with SGY. Which one is more risky. I bought SGY for my RRSP account recently. I am thinking to buy KEL as well in my regular trading account. I can hold it for 2 ~ 3 years.

Thanks,
Deming

Q: Regarding Concordia Healthcare (CXR): do you suspect there could be headwinds against companies that employ "inversion" as a means of growing their earnings per share, as this strategy may appear "gimmicky".

If public sentiment turns against inversion stories, do think companies like Concordia could be affected?

Lastly, could you provide us with CXR's earnings per share estimates for this quarter?

Thanks again.

John

Thanks. Helen M.
