Q: Hello 5i team,
I never held any gold or gold related equity; with today's significant drop in their value (don't know why), would it be a good time to get some exposure or do you foresee further drop?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hello 5i,

I currently hold Genworth, and have held it for a few years. I am wondering if after the new mortgage rules announced today if it's worth holding. Considering that 50-55% of their current clientele would be not be eligible for mortgage insurance under the new rules, what adjustments can they do to maintain their current earnings level? Is the dividend safe considering these facts? Is it worth holding considering the constraints to future business under the new rules?

Thank you in advance

Q: I owned COS from the IPO and was always happy with the yield. Now, of course, I own Suncor and am not happy with the yield. I am thinking of selling SU and buying a preferred share ETF, either ZPR or CPD or perhaps both, for the yield. What do you think? I am retired and living off dividend income.

Q: I'm down considerably on HCG. Do you think it's a good strategy to sell it, get the tax loss on it and buy MIC instead? Are they comparable quality companies?

Thanks

Q: First National (FN-T) is down over 6% today, presumably due to talk of federal mortgage rule changes. I like the stock but would appreciate your views about the current outlook and whether this might be a buying opportunity or a falling knife situation. Many thanks.
