Q: I had STN for a while and did well with it but sold it a few months ago. I see it is down close to $30. I know you have preferred WSP but is STN a better buy at its current price?

Q: I currently own BEP.UN and BIP.UN. Thinking of adding BAM.A.
Are these companies linked in such a way, that really bad news would bring the other Brookfield stocks down?
Thanx
Saw your response on rating the order of the Brookfield stocks on the 17th. Noticed you put BAM.A ahead of all the Brookfield stocks.
What makes it better than the two I have , in your opinion.

Q: Sangoma Technologies released fiscal Q3 results this evening. Revenues have grown for the eight consecutive quarter, 29% this past quarter. The Company stated in the earnings release that total revenues for fiscal 2017 will now exceed their guidance of $25 million. As the market cap grows (today still trading less than 1X sales) do you think this Company would be considered for your model growth portfolio?

Q: Copper has pulled back from its recent highs in the 2.70's, and zinc from the 1.30's (USD/lb). Could you comment on any possible headwinds for these base metals? Would this be a good time to add a new position in our favorite copper and zinc stocks since there has been a corresponding drop in their prices?

Q: Further to my questions on Ten Peaks. I still don't understand how the convertible debenture effectively doubles the outstanding share count once exercised at $8.25. This is what is implied in he quarterly financials when calculating EPS on a basic and fully diluted basis. My calculation says a $15 million debenture converted at $8.25 equates to approx 1.8 million shares. The company now has approx 9 million shares outstanding. What am I missing?

Q: Last night I watched an Australian money manager talk about the benefits of Smart Beta ETFs. He mentioned the following which I expect are traded on the Australian exchanges but might also be traded in N America.
Yield shares high income, ishares FI balanced risk, Vanguard dividend appreciation as examples.
Are these the same as low volatility etfs we know about here - or are they another type of etf?
If so, what is your opinion on this type of etf for safety and likely better long term returns?

Q: Hello 5i,
I need to add some geographic diversification to my dividend stock holdings. I only have Canadian companies at present. Is there a mutual fund or ETF that you would recommend? I'm looking at the Sprott Global Dividend Fund. What do you think of it?

Q: My wife and I, retirees, are considering adding a real estate ETF to our portfolio, to hold in TFSAs. You commented that ZRE has an equal weighting in REITS and is more diversified than XRE (that has a 30% weighting in RioCan and H&R). ZRE has a slightly higher distribution % that appeals. My question is on safety of capital. I perceive Rio Can and H&R to be high quality REITs versus say an Artis or Cominar that have a higher weighting in XRE. Which of the two ETFs would you consider safer, or is it a coin toss between the two? Thank you for your comments
