Q: Badger daylighting has dropped fairly significantly over the past few months and yet as you continue to mention the essentials remain positive. At 28 dollars, would this not be a great opportunity for a long term buy?

Q: Hi Peter. I've been reading that the US has been steadily reducing its foreign oil imports from most countries except Canada. I'm sure Canada's turn will come. Oil prices are dropping. Do you see the cost of production in Canada too high and thus reducing profits for Canadian companies. I have done well with Surge and Suncor thus far. Would you recommend reducing my position in these companies. (taking some profits)
Thanks for your great advice over the last year.

Q: Hello 5i,
my question is regarding Blackpearl (PXX). just recently i have read that heavy oil is the place to be. however it is difficult to find smaller companies that would benefit from the current heavy oil opportunities. in your opinion would PXX be a good choice as a small cap in this sector ? please explain the reasons why or why not. also do you like management, projects, execution, balance sheet etc ? thanx norm

Q: Hello 5i team,
Kudos to Peter for his adventure across Canada for such a worthy cause.
I have a question that may be better suited for a Canadian Money Saver article but I thought I would ask here to see if either the 5i team and/or members have suggestions.
I am looking for information about security considerations regarding keeping money safe in self-directed online brokerages. This may include either a checklist of security features to look for and/or an article/service that assesses and ranks the various brokerages based on current security features. I am not overly well-versed when it comes to understanding potential cyber threats, but definitely want to do what I can to keep my money safe. I imagine this will become a bigger issue as online brokerages become more popular. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rory

Q: Hi 5i,
I noticed on my statements this year that BIP.UN charges me a fee with each quarterly distribution. I suspect this must have something to do with the limited partnership structure but am puzzled why I would receive a distribution and get charged a fee simultaneously. As an investor who tries to minimize fees, your input is much appreciated.
Best wishes,

Q: There's an interesting take on CSU rights I found in my inbox from Seeking Alpha (here: http://seekingalpha.com/article/2490895-constellation-software-rights-a-low-risk-high-reward-special-situation?uprof=44) that argues the rights should be trading at 94 cents. One little aspect it ignores is that if you purchase rights as opposed to having received enough to purchase adequate debentures you will be receiving less than 1% interest in the first year on your market price vs. the 7.4% coupon on par. Also they compare this issue with a Microsoft bond without highlighting the difference in credit quality.
This email went to hundreds of thousands of Americans, so we'll see if the rights lift off 55 cents on Monday!

Q: Hello, can you please confirm that in LIRA account, like in RRSP account, no withholding tax will be paid on US dividend stocks. Are they important differences an investor should know about those 2 accounts. Thank you for your comments.
Q: Hello 5i team,
In the sector classified by Globe Investor as "other services", I hold BYD.UN (B+) and CGX (A-) and think of adding KBL (A-) and FSV (B) which I consider as steady eddies discreetly flying under the public radar. Would it be OK to buy them at current prices?
Thanks as usual,
Tony

Q: Re SYZ, On September 5th, the volume jumped to almost 600,000 on the sell side, almost 20 times the 100 day MA of about 31,000. There was a question/comment on this site talking about a new issue yet my source for news (Scotia iTrade) talks about a trading halt on the 4th with a resumption on the 5th. No other news. Can you fill in the blanks? Where, if I am not getting all the news from Scotia iTrade, can access ALL the news?
