Q: Hi Folks,

I'm interested in purchasing 1 or 2 of the FAANG stocks for a long term hold. How would you rank them at this time? Do you consider all to be good buys at today's prices?

Thanks as always...

Q: Hi Peter

I thought that readers of 5i might enjoy the math on Coke Vitaliy Katsenelson uses to illustrate the danger with investor's dividend obsession. Publish if you think this is useful.

Q: I have chosen ten stocks from John Heinzl's dividend growth portfolio which are: AQN-T,AW.UN-T, BCE-T, BMO-T, DGRO-N, EMA-T,FTS-T, T-T, TD-T, TRP-T. From my previous question you had suggested these 10 Canadian dividend stocks: PBH, ZCL, SIS, FTS, GSY, ENB, ET, BEI.UN, AQN, and T. My question is should I invest in the 20 stocks or would I be better off sticking to the 10 suggested by 5I?

Q: In today's Post there was an article reprinted from the Telegraph about half a trillion pounds that Britain has discovered they no longer have. The article speculated on some of the international effects this might have. I am wondering if you have any thoughts on how this might affect our portfolios.

would you advise selling a position prior,just in case, and then buying back in after if earnings are ok? "Big hit" makes me nervous.

Q: Peter, I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to come up with an idea a column every week or two. Please allow me to humbly make a suggestion.
I know in broad strokes the difference between the TSE and Venture, but I know nothing about the CSE. Perhaps an article on this and how it may affect me as a DIY investor.
Gord.
P.S. I rarely ask a question but enjoy reading the answers to the questions. Publish at your discretion.

Q: It was announced last Friday after the market close that Brookfield distributed over 7M shares of OSB to its fund investors. The stock was $49.70 at the time and is dropping every day to $47.00 presently.
How does this type of distribution play out. What price do those investors pay and do they sell it right away in the open market to cause the share price to decline? Thanks TEAM
