Q: I have held CWL for a few years. The dividend has been nice but the share price has remained relatively static. Other than for income, do you see much reason to continue to hold this stock or is it time to move on to something with more upside potential? Do you foresee any catalysts that might warrant continuing to hang on to the stock?

Q: What is 5i's opinion about Caldwell Partners fiscal Q1 results and outlook. The Company continues to grow its revenues and is posting profits. Would it be realistic that this Company could fetch 1X revenues on a takeover, merge or going private transaction which would imply big upside from the current stock price?

Q: Hello again, 5i team. Thinking about initiating a small postion (1.5% of overall portfolio) in this stock, likely for my TFSA. Stock is up 378% in the last 30 days (!), but I'm having trouble determing whether or not the jump is based on anything substantive. I would greatly appreciate your views on the company itself and the stock in the next 6 - 12 months. Thanks for all the great insights. - Asher

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I manage my son's TFSA, and it's quite well diversified, except for zero exposure in energy. For this year's contribution, I'm considering one of ENB, IPL, TRP, or PKI. I realize that PKI is in a different sub-sector, but am leaning towards it, and would appreciate your insight. We favour dividend payers, even if it's a small dividend. Thanks as always.

I am now putting growth stocks in my TFSA after putting in my GIC's over the years. I am holding IWO and LNF in an unregistered account. To complete my TFSA contribution should I include IWO or LNF?

Q: for Derek on transferring money to the US. We use VBCE here in Vancouver and they have a great little app that allows you to transfer from our Cdn Account at CIBC to our Wells Fargo account in the US with no fees and a significantly better exchange rate. We have kids in school in the US so transfers occur quite frequently and they give a better rate depending on your forecasted amount for the year.
Cheers

Q: Below is the longer term performance of HQU for 1,3,6month and 1,3,5,10 year periods, along with the Fund Quartile rating. With this longer term return, why wouldn't I just use this fund as my only proxy for NASDAQ listed stocks? The same with SSO for SPY listed stocks? Seems like an easy was to outperform (and under) the markets.

Your thoughts please, pros and cons.

+7.70% +25.81% +26.31% +79.22% +39.24% +27.01% +30.14%
