Q: I have set up my wife's RRSP account after the model portfolio. Since the start of April the portfolio is down about 3%. When you get Dividends etc. should we wait until we get a larger amount before we buy. Also should we buy the stock that is losing the most or buy the one that is gaining the most.

Thanks for your advice.

Q: WIN announced pretty good earnings this AM in addition to some good announcements in the quarter and a change to the legal expense risk sharing model. At this price seems to be good value even if they don't sell the company in the short term. Thoughts?

Q: Hello 5i
I am trying to re-balance my 25 stocks in a combined portfolio, at 4% for each position. I have not included ETFs. Should ETFs, such as XIU and XIC, be included in the number of positions, or treated separately? For instance, I hold BNS and TD as part of the stock portfolio, but they are also included in the ETFs. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Q: I have a question about diversification. My understanding is you should not have more than 20% of your stocks in any one sector. Right now I own HWO, POU, BXE, WCP, TOG, RMP, RE, RRX, TOU in the oil and gas sector, with a portfolio weighting of 13.5%. However, if I include BAD, ENB and BDI that takes my weighting to 28%. Would you include the last three in the oil and gas sector even though they're not producers?

Q: Hello 5i,
With the recent strong performance of oil & gas sector stocks, do you feel there are now fair or overvalued and to be avoided until a correction takes place or was this move an overdue correction bringing the Canadian energy sector back in line to where they should have been trading?

Q: Hi there
With the recent pullback in BX (Blackstone Group) do you think this is a good entry point for a long term hold. I am looking at getting some dividend yield (I realize this could be cut at anytime) and some growth. Also as a US holding would the dividends/capital gains etc. escape the typical withholding amounts, or does the structure of BX differ from a typical US company.

Much thanks
Stuart

Q: STN - Stantec

5i April 11 comment mentioned "trading a bit unusual" on "relatively low volume.

Today STN dropped down to it's lowest point of the year again on very low volume and during a period when markets in general are fairly positive.

It's been a steady performer since mid 2012. Anything new that could account for the weakness thus far this year?

thanks for all you do

Gord
