Q: Is the correction over? If yes, technically when did it end? I know the technical correction start time; what technical event declares a correction has ended?
Many thanks for this, Elmer

Q: I have held BAD for a long time now and cashed out half my position when it was higher. Now it seems as if it is on a slow course down. I realize that there was a short seller report on it last yr that precipitated the downward trend but it has not recovered much. Should I still hang on or should I replace it with something else in the Industrial sector. I also have SIS and WCN. Thank you for your advice

Q: Good morning 5i team,
I am 72, have no private pension, a diversified portfolio (50/50 asset mix RRIF included; no real estate holdings other than my residence), with a 10-year "quality" bond ladder in my RRIF to cover CRA withdrawals. I have funds available in my RRIF, and am considering an investment in REI for income and long-term capital appreciation. I would appreciate your thoughts, and any suggestions other than REI to achieve income and some growth in the RRIF.

Q: EFN came out with an outlook that was a bit gloomy, expecting earnings to be down a few percent, yet the stock and the rate reset bond dropped by about a third. They say that a "turnaround" in earnings is not due until 2020. The yield on the bond is now well over 8.5%. Can you give me your opinion of this rate reset bond? and of the company's prospects? Is the dividend safe?
