Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Greetings 5i Team.
We are adjusting our accounts and looking to place 6% of our equity allocation in the Cdn ‘industrials’ category. If you were to choose among the listed securities, which names would you prefer for each of a one, two, three, and four name selection?
Thankyou
Sam

Q: Long time, very frustrated, holder of GUD. GUD never tanked with the Dec carnage but has not rose much either, just seems "stable", which is OK except with no divy there is an opportunity cost in continuing to hold. What would you do? Swallow the frustration and give it more time, or switch to something else in the growth mode, maybe SIS or BCI?

Q: Hi 5I,
I own the following stocks (approx 1K shares of each).
AQN,BCE,ENB(2K),BEP.UN,RY,SLF,CPG,IPL,NGD - U.S. - TD, BT & GE. My ETF's are anywhere from $1k-3K shares of each of the following:
ZEF,ZWE (3K),ZWU,CYH,REEM (2K),ZMI(3K),CYH,MFT (3K),XTR,ZWP,ZDM.ZPW,ZWH. - Also holding approximately 40% cash. I feel my portfolio is lacking U.S Exposure. Which of one HEA or ZDY would you recommend and what kind of weighting? I am retired and as you can see my portfolio is heavily weighted for monthly income. Looking at a 5-7 year hold. Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Q: David Rosenberg today indicated that the recent rally in the TSX is very similar to the December rally of 1931 and further said that this is not an investors' rally but a trader's rally. Is the current rally a sucker's rally?
I will greatly appreciate your comments.
Thanks
Terry

Q: We often hear about the advantage of keeping U.S. dollar denominated securities in an RRSP to avoid the 15% withholding tax. We need to look at the formula used on tax software to verify how much of the withholding tax that is refunded if in a non registered account. I just reviewed my tax return for last year and got all my 15% withholding tax refunded.

Q: Where can I find information on your company ratings system? Does a high rating indicate an attractive price or is it indicative of the company's fundamentals? Thank you.
