Q: I recently purchased shares in this company and since my purchase it has dropped consistantly. I would appreciate your thoughts as to whether it would be wise to sell and take a tax loss or do you see a recovery? Thanks

Q: Onex intends to convert its MVS into SVS, on a one-for-one basis. With your financial experience, what do you think can be behind this move?

Q: Further to Barbara’s question, is the TD8150 series of high interest savings account guaranteed under the CDIC insurance up to $100,000.00?

Q: Would love to hear on Color on this dismal performance. Is it a screaming buy and SWAN stock for 5 years from now.

Q: What small to mid cap companies can you recommend that have been beaten up due to market conditions but have a high chance of success long term? Looking at a potential entry point this year with the prospect of beating out the returns of larger cap names that may be in a similar situation. Could you also give a brief thought on the risk/reward of this approach as well. Thanks very much.

Q: Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. (WEB:CA), makes a bit of money, has a low market cap and seems to have some upside with lower risk in their model. Thoughts?

Q: Hello 5i,
I have reviewed the questions on these two ETF's and I would like to confirm my thinking. I need to increase both my international and U.S. sectors, one more than the other. As I understand it, if I purchase LIFE, then my international sector would improve over HHL and if I purchase HHL, then my U.S. sector would improve over LIFE. Beyond geographic sector allocation I am largely indifferent albeit with a slight preference for HHL more due to its MER more than anything else.
So, are my assumptions correct and would you have anything further to add in terms of preferring one over the other that I may have overlooked?
Many thanks as always!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Thank you.

Q: Good morning,

With all the talk and policy direction to reduce alcohol consumption can Corbies continue to be a good income investment?
The dividend was recently reduced and the share price is down significantly. Beer, liquor and wine sales are also down.

Is it time to move on?

Thanks

Q: Good morning, you have mentioned several times that Covered Call ETF's work best in sideways markets. I have the feeling that we will probably see the Markets basically moving sideways for a while. What is your opinion, thanks?

Q: Hi 5i, I currently have preferred shares in 13 different companies. I would like to diversify as they are all in finance, utilities, energy and Telecom. Can you name three companies to put into my RRSP that are US based with preferred shares that are solid. I'm looking for 5y resets or perpetual, thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
BN appears to be selling off, assuming it's being treated like a bank with the SVB disaster. Do you feel this is justified? I am feeling not, and I am thinking about adding to BN. Would you feel the same? And is it the right time to start buying, or should I perhaps wait a while longer? Thanks

Shane.

Q: I currently own BN, BAM, BIP, and BEP. With recent decline would you be adding to these names? Can you confirm good entry points and if you would consider them a Buy/Sell/Hold.

Thank you
Tim

Q: The SVB rescue seems to have ushered in some fundamental changes in banking in the U.S which one would assume will have ramifications here in Canada.

Now that the Fed has essentially recognized that depositors are no longer unsecured creditors and bonds are valued at par regardless of market rates, what are the implications for investors?

Equity investors will have to assess their position and risk. Certainly giving every Canadian the option of having an account at the Bank of Canada would solve the security issue for depositors, and would avoid the considerable expense of extending insurance to all deposits regardless of amount.

But are Canadian banks and their investors now significantly disadvantaged if one central bank accepts government bonds as collateral at par regardless of market value while the other doesn't? Your thoughts as always would be appreciated.

Mike

Q: Is there a US $ equivalent to HSAV?

Q: I have yet to participate in the lithium "play" and wondering if its too late, and if not, what you would recommend. Individual stock, or ETF? Will be held either in RRSP or TFSA. Thanks
