Q: I have some money set aside and would like to take advantage of the pullback and buy 2 industrial stocks and 2 consumer stocks. I already own BGI.UN and DH, and the rest of my portfolio is well balanced in other sectors. I am looking at a long term hold with a view of overall return combining growth and div.
I'm looking at the following stocks in Consumer: SJR.B, BCE, T, PJC.A and ATB.B
And the following in Industrial: WTE, CAE, CNR, MG and AC.B
Could you suggest 2 in each sector (or suggest another stock that may be preferable to my choices) and let me know the basics of the choice?
Thanks so much, Kim

Q: Hi Peter & 5i Team,

Please give me your thoughts on the 27.27% decline today on Elkwater Resources. Is it still a good management bet at these prices or could there be some more days like today for this stock.

Thanks in advance.

Q: Working in the health sector, I'm not really worried about an ebola pandemic. Probability of a major world wide epidemic are fairly low. However, I'd like to start watching a few companies in case it actually become pandemic. I must admit I'm a little clueless about what to look for. Any thoughts on that ? could you recommend some names ? I'd like to avoid small biotech.

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch team,
Can you please advise regarding the security of a purchase in ishares gold trust, IGT or SPRD Gold Trust, GLD relative to purchase of gold bullion itself. Do you think its a good time to purchase at these valuations primarily as a form of insurance. Also, do you think the recent increase in OPEC oil supply (and corresponding cheap selling in asian markets) in response to US production will continue longer term. Or is this a good buying opportunity?

Q: Inflation or deflation. I read in the book (Fear Greed and the end of the rainbow) a few years ago that if we get in a deflationary environment the last place you want to be is in the stock market. I am getting concerned that deflation is taking over. As the world ever been in a deflationary scenario? Your wisdom please. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch Team,
I know that you have concerns regarding the management team of Crescent Point, CPG. However, I am wondering how is it positioned relative to the other Companies, such as CNQ, TOU, etc., with respect to recent declines in oil price, its US oil and gas reserves, etc.. I'm kicking myself today, as I bought a small position yesterday… I always ask you first before I buy…and I didn't!
Thank you. Linda

Q: This micro-cap is a very small part of my speculative holdings. Although not profitable, it has been suggested as a possible buy-out target for its technology. Over the recent market volatility it has held its share price. There also seem to be regular block trades possibly indicating some institutional interest. For example, this morning 100,000 at the open and 150,000 later on. The share price even ticked up a penny. I'm at a break even point and am wondering if it is worth holding.

Q: I'm short on consumer staples. Does ECI fit? I told myself I wouldn't buy anything you ranked lower than B+, but I am a dividend investor and retired.
To whoever asked; yes, I supported Peter. another great thing about 5i
Donating stocks to charity, aside from the direct benefits to me and the charity, seems like a sensible way to rebalance, given that I'd be making the donation anyway.
Your overblown corrections post is excellent. Thank you!

Q: Pipeline stocks have been hammered with the rest of the energy space. Is their business model threatened by lower commodity prices or do they remain the steady cash-flow generators they have always been. I thought this would be a great place to hide but, apparently, not.
IPL has gone down the most but they recently cut the discount on their DRIP and discontinued their premium DRIP. Doesn't that indicate they don't need the money and are in solid shape. Finally, is it their European division that is giving investors more to worry about?
Thanks.
Steven
