Q: My question is about at what percentage level of a total portfolio do you trim a half position. If you suggest trim a full position at 7 or 8% of a total portfolio, what percentage do you trim a half position? Is "the rule of thumb" still at 7 or 8% of a total portfolio or do you suggest a lower percentage?......Tom
Q: Hi there, thank you for the quick response to my question. Quick follow up, could this be a great opportunity to buy more for a quick trade, if SC/NYX settle with WH in next two days? What down side risks do you see for share price here for a quick trade? Thanks!
Q: HI,
Maybe my math in not accurate but if WH pays 3.67$ for 40.7M shares, this would result in about 150M cash (or about 1$ / share). if this is wright, would not this be positive for the share price? or my math is wrong?
Q: Hi there, can you please provide further clarification to your response on NYX today. Why would William Hill want to block the take over? Would it not just hurt their holding in NYX? Unless they want to hold out for more cash for their preferred shares then what the take over offer is for? Would that not push the share price possibly higher, not lower, on speculation for a higher bid from Scientific? Somewhat confused here with the share price reaction. Can you tell if William Hill has increased their holding in NYX recently for a possible move on NYX themselves, shaking out weak holders today with this move? Thanks!
Q: I'm 84 and invest for income with some growth. We have full positions on 23 holdings in our joint account, with a value of over $900G. I'm considering trimming some of the loftier positions and taking a half position in AFN for income and growth. It is a rather small company but seems to have good prospects in Asia. Can I have your comments on AFN. Thanks, Ted
Q: Please comment on the latest quarter. Buy, sell or hold? Can you suggest a same sector replacement with stronger momentum but pays a dividend? Thanks
Q: Please comment on ALC's latest earnings. Revenue appears to be up but earnings lower possibly due to one time items which boosted earnings in 2016.
Thank you,

Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,
We hold Enbridge in a taxable account and are considering trading to another company with better growth potential. We like the dividend but one anaylist says that all earnings are needed to support the dividend. He thinks the stock price is over valued raising warning flags. Another anaylist likes the name and thinks it is good value.
Enbridge is in the 5i income fund. Is 5i still confident in the company? Our position at present is flat.
Thank you for your opinion
