Q: I would like to increase my holdings in infrastructure of which I have very little. I am looking at Atco and Emera. Could you give me your thoughts on these two possibilities please?
Also, could you give me your current favourites in this space, other than pipelines.
Thanks

Q: I understand it s a wild market out there but how can we explain price change in excess of 7% daily in the price of oil ? Short sellers covering ? Are they that big ? If somebody can influence the price that much in the short term is it not somewhat concerning ? Your general comments are appreciated. Thank you.

Q: My question pertains to all of my mutual funds. It appears that there is at least a 1 day delay in the on-line values of my funds: on days when the market and the top 10 companies in a fund are down, the fund will show an increase and the opposite is also true. Do most funds rebalance daily?

Q: Hi all,

With the great market we are experiencing combined with regularly hearing from any objective individual that indexes are the best place for your money, should we not all be buying ETFs now? Really, why risk missing out on any recovery by playing specific stocks?

What ETFs would be your favourite right now, Cdn or US?

Thanks,

Cam

Q: Hello team,

My wife's TFSA currently holds full positions in WSP, BYD.UN, DH, WCP and 1/2 position in BDI. With new money, we are thinking of adding four half positions from SYZ, CXI, BOS, GUD, EFN or XTC. This is for long term hold and we are OK with volatility. Which four would you pick out of the list or would you suggest other names instead for better diversification? We are looking for smaller cap names with better growth potentials.

As always, thanks for your guidance.

Q: Gillian is at a 52 week low and it's graph appears like the price still has negative momentum. I am not in favour of selling quality companies, but I am not sure that the price of Gildan is going to move north any time soon. So I ask of you the usual, can you identify the reason for the recent price drops, and is this a good time to add to Gildan or do you see more downside? Thank you.

Q: Good Morning 5i,

I am looking to buy AGU for long term hold for appr. 5% of my portfolio. I know it does not only have potash in it's product line, are they other products strong enough to wash out the negative that potash product is going through and is it a good time to buy AGU?

Thanks

Q: As part of my portfolio, I own five Canadian smallcal stocks, the five I own now are: ALP; EL; LND; PHM and SPN. I have five, no more and no less, small caps so I can spread out the potential risks if one or two behave badly, ie price drops. I am finding small caps trade differently ( ie. sometimes low volume will move price down or up with no news) since volume has a big impact on my decision.

What should I use as a signal to sell my small caps? Cross below the 200 MVA and sell? as an example.

As always thanks for your response.

Q: I would like to increase/change my exposure to the real estate area and wanted to know how you compare HR.UN and REI.UN? Riocan has had a long successful history but I am concerned that with the recent sale of its US properties it is rather Canada - centric and focused largley on retail properties - albeit very good ones. But I also don't want to second guess management because they have been shown to be smart operators. However, does HR provide more diversification and if so, is this necessarily a positive?

For a first time purchase, which would you suggest and would you switch REI for HR at this time?

Appreciate your insight.
