Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Sierra Madre Gold and Silver including its projects and exploration opportunities, its cash on hand and the balance book in general, and insider activity/holdings. Is it possible to find out if Rick Rule still has shares and are there any individuals or institutions that own a significant number of shares. I think the symbol is SM.
Thanks.
Q: "Green" energy comprises only small part of total energy needs. It stands & falls with government (taxpayer's) subsidies, which are here today and (possibly) gone tomorrow.
Infrastructure needs, on the other hand, will only grow. I'd appreciate your take on this.
Also, would you say that one is "better" than the other on fundamentals?
thanks jerry
Your thoughts on Acadian Timber's recent earnings? I have owned it for quite a while and although I like the healthy dividend I noticed the payout ratio in the quarterly report was 115%. Should I be worried about that?
David asked a question about timing a purchase of TLT. The answer indicated now was a good time but the recommendation was to buy an aggressive bond. Can you list two examples from the US, CAN, and 1 from a global perspective that would meet the description of an aggressive bond?
Q: Dear 5i
I currently own TD and RY for my financial positions . I was considering buying SLF as an alternative to banks but still considered within the financial sector . Is it worth the diversification or should i just add to my existing bank stocks that i own ?
Also i've recently added HISA and PSA to my portfolio which would probably not be for a long term hold but until interest rates decline considerably from where they are today . My question is, is it possible to have too much cash parked in these type of accounts that should interest rates decline noticeably and quickly , that there would be a liquidity problem ie getting my cash out , should a lot of investors decide at the same time to liquidate their holdings in these type of accounts ?
Thanks

Q: Hi, Looking at the three and five year charts of Well Health Technologies, I don't see much increase in the stock, or it has done very little in that time period, but you guys keep praising it. When do u think this stock might take off, or at least make it worthwhile investment, thanks?
