Q: My son is diligently saving to purchase a house and currently is taking advantage of the benefits of a TFSA. I have mentioned that he should also consider opening an RRSP to take advantage of their home buyers plan. He can contribute an extra $15k and get an additional 35% tax refund. He has about a 4-5 year time horizon before he needs the money. Is this sound advice? Can you recommend what stocks he should consider?
Thank you

Q: I have emulated the Balanced Equity portfolio as much as possible but the proportions don't max exactly. PBH and KXS are not yet at the 6% level (close) so I did not re-balance. Trust this in line with your thinking.

BTW...April numbers in my three trading accounts are: +1.54, +3.1 and +2.14. And my TFSA, begun in January, 2015, is almost doubled. Thanks for your genius. I tend to think of all three accounts as a single portfolio but iTrade can't combine them.

Q: THANK YOU!

Today May 2nd all of these stocks that I own hit new record highs: CSU, SHOP, KXS, OTEX, L, NFI, AQN, CGX, T, and SIS.

These 3 that I also own came very close to all time highs as well: WSP, BEP.UN, and FTS.

In one day 35% of the stocks I own hit new highs, or came very close. Many of these I would not have bought had it not been for 5i Research.

Again, THANK YOU.

Q: Your Q&A refers to potential dividend and cash flow concerns raised by short sellers. I cannot find any discussion of this issue in your notes so I wonder if you could follow up and indicate whether these concerns have any merit and if so what basis they have. The price is down to a level which otherwise could be an attractive entry point. Thank you.

Q: I have owned HCG since 2000.This is a stock I thought I may never sell, but due to circumstances I have considered selling especially after your advise to get out. At what price would you sell as the stock can go up or down 15% in a day? I do not think putting a market price would by wise. I was considering selling at $8.00 per share but the next day the shares were down to about $6.75. Today they are trading at $7.75.

Q: David Taylor was interviewed in the Globe and Mail today. He feels there is value in HCG. His optimism rests on the book value of the company, which he estimates is between $15 and $28 a share. Do you feel this is a reasonable estimate of book value? If so could there be a significant opportunity for brave and patient investors?
