Q: Hi 5i,
Am I right in thinking that perhaps the market has decided that BRAG is the horse to back going forward and that EGLX isn't really in the race, or is that a too simplistic or short-sighted way to look at it, as between these two names?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Peter

Q: Hi, I have 2% position of SHOP in my TFSA while my XBC (down 60%) and WELL (down 6%) are 1% positions. I've been waiting on XBC and WELL but am also tempted to sell both and up my position in SHOP. How would you rank the three in terms of growth potential? Unless XBC and WELL are potential home runs then it seems wise to consolidate...
thanks,
Mark

Q: I am going into retirement and below are the weightings of stocks held in my portfolio. Although the portfolio performed okay over the years, I wonder if there is too much concentration and would appreciate your ideas on diversification given the economic times we live in.

Q: Hi Guys / Gals,

A couple of quick questions.

1/ SGY.CA - bought 5,000 at $0.73. Does it have further upside potential in near term or should I just bail.

2/ CSH.UN.CA - buy, sell or hold for income?

Thanks so much as usual.

Q: I read your article about the correlation between stocks and bonds and it made me wonder whether this was a good or not so good time to purchase them? I read a little more in another article and it said that in the same historical instances, bonds have tended to do well after. Would you agree with this?
I only have room in my margin account so would CVD, CPD, and HAB be giving me interest as apposed to Dividends so there are tax implications?
Thanks!

Q: I hold the Canadian banks in my dividend portfolio and they have served me well over the years as a core hold.
Should I reconsider these holdings in light of new taxation rules being suggested?

Q: Greetings 5i,

I like VET. I think there is value here for the patient.

Can you please explain Vermilion's current HEDGE obligations. With oil prices recently higher than the current did they manage to get locked in to reasonable prices?

Secondly, on the company website it mentions a Sustanability transition and a geothermal project coming to fruition this fall. Will VET no longer be a O&G producer in the future? What are your thoughts on this.

Cheers!
