Q: Looking to stabilize my portfolio as I think there is a lesson to be learned from the recent market volatility. Looking forward I want to mitigate my risk by making wiser choices and not falling into the trap of trying to hit home runs. To help in this process I would like your opinion as to the 5 safest Canadian stocks outside of utility and energy stocks. Thanks in advance. Doug

Q: Ok, I know you do not really like trades, but what do you think about picking up some shares of Air Transat now and holding them until May/June and taking advantage of the winter busy season. It has worked in the past, a few times really well, others not as well but always made money. This is pretty speculative, and would be for the mad money part of my investments.
Thanks for your opinion.

Q: The markets have been quite strong the last few days, yet WSP is not participating. Today, for example, the stock was down while the market was up nicely. My concern is, if the stock is weak in a strong market, what happens when the market comes back down. For some reason, my impression is that this company is not well liked by investors. Any idea why and what might turn this around?

It would be appreciated if you could explain to the investors like us what is the main differences and advantages of holding PWF vs POW ? I have some shares of PWF, should I switch 50% to POW ? Thanks!

Q: Good Day 5i team,

Hopefully correction is over. Let's hope for positive economic news in Europe and continued growth in the US.

re: LNG and recent announcements... can you please comment on what effects you think the recent "approval" and all it's accompanying baggage (taxation for environment) will have on PRW and other related companies? Bought PRW @ $0.91 and am hoping other 5i members were able to take advantage as well as I think PRW has a very nice ceiling.

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: The stock gets slammed the day a court decision goes against it and now the next day it has recouped much of those losses. In a situation like this, do you rely on the "street" to get it right and seemingly ignore the litigation in this case? I had wanted to buy this stock. Or should I just move on to the next one?

Thanks.

Paul F.
