Q: The recent bond sell off is suggesting the much anticipated interest rate increase is around the corner. I have read that bond like stocks such as reits, pipelines, utilities and consumer staples will experience increased volatility in the coming months. I own a 20% weighting in the low volatility BMO etf ZLB. ZLB is loaded with the at risk sectors mentioned and could quickly become a high volatility etf. Would you please suggest several Canadian equity etf's as an alternative to ZLB that have low weightings in the interest sensitive sectors. Thank you.

Q: Could you comment on GH Q1 please? Is the divvy covered and would you start to top up a position or wait for a bit of bounce up. Technically it looks to be establishing a floor.
Thank You Ron

Q: I currently own SU as well TRP and ENB. I have held ENB for many years and the capital gain on this stock is quite high. I am slowly selling some shares each years to bring the weight down but I wonder if I really need to hold SU since I do own TRP as well. Which stock would you keep SU or TRP or should I sell both SU and TRP? I am slowly trying to make my portfolio more diversified.

Thanks

Q: Would you please advise me of what you would do - buy more, sell or hold given the recent news release regarding a lawsuit. I have held this stock for a while and, while volatile, the results have been great. Needless to say, I dont want to see the gains disappear. (What is that saying Peter, " ...rather leave the party a day early than an hour late?....)

Thanks.

Q: Data from Globe Investor Gold gives TCN P/E(ttm) as 9.10. Forward P/E is predicted to be 22.79. This could imply that the stock price could more than double, or the earnings could fall by more than half, or anything in between.

What would be your best guess for the stock price of TCN a year from now.

Thanks for your clairvoyance !!

Q: Hi, After the recent run up to $43, subsequent to Fundtech acquisition news and upward revision of price targets by most analysts, stock seems to be taking a breather, lately. Do you think anything has changed in its outlook? I am considering to add to my position in @$40-$41 range for growth/income over long term and would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Q: Can I get your thoughts on PM please.
A second thought/question: If US interest rates are expected to raise this year or early next, will that not pull down the CDN $ even more, and if that is the case, would it not be a good time to move more $ into US Stocks - even with the CDN $ were it is now.

Thank you as always.

Q: Greetings, I hope you enjoyed your long weekend. I am in the enviable (LOL!) position of facing a proposed reverse split or consolidation in one of my holdings. Is it safe to assume that outstanding employee options and warrants will be similarly reduced in number? i.e. 4 to 1 The Management circular does not clearly cover this topic.
Thank you!

Q: Hello 5iresearch,

Wondering if you could comment on the recent events unfolding at Rubicon. It has received 50 million from the CPPIB, and has posted its advancements on Vimeo and its website. Do you think it is fairly valued here? Will it get a different type of evaluation when it actually starts production in Q2 2015 if it goes as per plan? Also, what companies would you compare RMX to once in production? Possible take out candidate? Lots of questions. Thanks for taking the time to investigate the potential or lack of potential of this company.

It is much appreciated.
