Q: Good afternoon,

US discretionary spending is indicted to rise with oil dropping, wmt is hitting new highs in anticipation. I consider a moderate risk investment in light of "new money" theoretically ready to deploy. What are your thoughts, where will Canadians spend if discretionary spending increases, will they payoff debt ( bad for banks), would they spend on credit with increased sentiment on repay ability (good for banks, magna, cineplex).. where would you invest in light of the economic change?

Thanks,

Eric

Q: My portfolio is completely dividend paying companies, mostly former income trusts. You have recommended bond ETF's for diversification in the past. Could you give me a few names? I have always had the impression that bonds have very low yields.

Q: Hi,

TD just came out with a report saying that the liquidation value of NIF.UN is much greater than what it is trading at. Also they say that the dividend is safe. What is your view on both these statements. What is their current payout ratio?

Q: Hi folks: Looking for a website to see daily charts on how the 4 or 5 main "sectors" in Canada are doing. Not sure of the difference between a sector and an index, so maybe index charts would be better. Also, what is a "capped index"?

Q: Hello Team
I see that MFC has 1.9 B shares outstanding versus SLF's 612 M. I bought MFC before I saw your report on SLF. Given the similarities between the two companies, is the large number of MFC shares anything to be concerned about. I see the charts of both companies are moving along pretty well in sync.

Thank you for your efforts and great advice.

Q: Hello Everyone at 5i,
I just bought GUD at 6.85 before trading was halted today. My understanding from reading your past responses is that it is not positive news when a company issues new shares. You have stated that you like Knight and the management team.
What do you think will happen to GUD shares short term? long term?
Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and Co.:
Man, it's pretty crazy for investors these days in oil and oil service stocks! I hold PPL, IPL, KEY, ALA, BDI, QST, VET and PEY. Normally these companies are pretty quiet but lately have been experiencing one day losses of 6-7% or more, and then gaining the same as much a few days later! Pretty crazy times it seems to me, but I'm not that experienced, just 10 years or so as a DIY investor. What are your thoughts on the volatility these days?
BTW, I just want to say that your service has been invaluable to me in making decisions and learning about investing, so thank you very much. cheers

Q: Husky has been a solid, steady investment for us for years but is now badly underwater. Hold or sell? Also, what is your opinion on Suncor. We have a full position. Hold or add?
Read Answer Asked by Edward on December 03, 2014
Q: In Oct you rated CXR, GUD, CPH as 1,2,3 preference. I add PLI to those. I own GUD. For a registered account where there is not enough cash to buy full positions of each, would you advise choosing one and if so, which one, or equal $ amounts of the 3, CXR, CPH & PLI? Each has a niche in a similar theme, it seems to me. Thank you.
