Q: Peter - can you please recommend an ETF that captures the China market? This will represent 3 to 5 percent of my portfolio. I looked at XCH, however I am concerned of the very low trading volume. Is this an issue? Thank You.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I currently hold BEP.UN within my RRSP at a 5% weighting. Would adding a 5% weighting in BIP.UN be too much of the same? Looking at my income component in the RRSP, it is high but I have been unable to determine where I should invest given it is a registered account.
I'm retired so one of these years I shall have to move my RRSP into a RIF but in the interim want a steady stream of income.
Appreciate your comments.
Ronald

Q: I am wondering what the P/E ratio is of LSI? I recently read from one of your replies that it was 20. I looked on Google and they show a P/E of 45. I looked at another site and they stated 49. I assume that people are using different criteria such as forward looking P/Es, trailing 12 month P/E,... I sometimes find it difficult to get consistent data between sites. Is it possible there are different standards for calculating this ratio?

You've stated in a reply that you feel that LSI is riskier than BADger. Other than being a smaller company, did you have other concerns as well? You've most definitely spoken positively about both companies and am considering a position in one of the two. I tend to hold stocks for a very long time and am wondering which you think has greater growth potential over the long term.

Thank You.

Q: Hi Team,
Thanks for suggesting IWO (US small cap ETF) and IBB (US biotech ETF).
I'm up handsomely since buying in. I read your view about IBB a couple of days ago, but I'm wondering what your current view is about IWO.
I keep hearing mixed views about the space, but I only trust yours.
Keep up the good work.

Q: A recent article that I read states that the US will become the world's largest oil producer by 2016. If this is even remotely accurate could you suggest a stock or stocks that would benefit from this. Thank You.

Q: It seems good stocks in the Health care are being gobbled up (eg Paladin and Atrium-today). I have been looking for a good health care stock to get into. Could you please recommend a good growth name in that sector. Your past recommendations have been very helpful (DHX, Stantec, Cineplex). Thanks again for this valuable service as it has really opened my eyes to names that I would never have known.

Q: NCR, thinking of buy for USD portfolio. Held MSFT but sold early at $32.00 as street negative on name-too exp. now to buy so was thinking of NCR as they are turning the ship around by focusing of software and consulting vs just equipment. Would this be a good buy for the recovery in EU and rest of the world?

Q: Hi Peter and Team --

I read, with great interest, your response to Wendy regarding the ONEX Corporation --OCX. I searched through the archives to find that you've answered three questions on this corporation in the last 12 months and each time you spoke of it in the most glowing terms.

I am certainly intrigued by your enthusiasm in this company -- and the next step begs the question: Would you consider preparing a report on this company? As an addendum to that thought, for whom would this stock be appropriate in a portfolio? What sort of risk tolerance would this company require, given the nature of the cyclicality that you speak of.

Thanks so much!

I'm one month new in my membership here, and I'm telling you now ... I'm a lifer, from here on in! I'm recommending membership to anything that moves. My cat may be signing up next. Great work!

Q: ENT, would this co. benefit from build out of LNG infrastructure on west coast and any pipeline build and would you recommend as a buy as a tiny portion of a portfolio-would probably buy 10K shares.

Q: In regard to your notes on Just Energy on Nov. 27 I have been tied in to them for five years for gas at 36.9 cents a cubic meter. On renewal they highly promoted the savings that you would get at their new rate of about 25 cent a cubic meter

However they did not tell you that the rate from the gas company was 12.49 cents a cubic meter now and not far off for a lot of the time I was hooked into them.

Now I should be paying about 1/3 of what I was paying

Obviously I did not renew with them. If other people did their homework, there would be a lot more non renewals. This may affect their earnings
