Q: I am looking to start a position in either one(leaning towards dol) I know they are probably expensive for retailers however, they seem to deliver on results on a consistent basis. What do you think about a half position on either one?
Great work guys!

Q: Apologies... following up on Marty's question early today... I too have been holding CXI for some time and am not sure you answered his question when he asked should he continue to hold CXI;

"Is there evidence that their efforts are now finally gaining traction and would you recommend that I continue to hold?"


Or was it implied because you like BYD.UN to sell CXI and buy Boyd?

Thanks for all you do!

Q: Hello,

Can you suggest an etf or stock suggestion to capture the global increase in defence and security spending. Also Trump is pushing hard on G7 countries to increase defence budgets. A lot of money could be flowing towards that sector. Also are these increases already priced in? Thanks. Shyam

Q: I'm looking for international exposure with more weighting on consumer staples rather than financials, since we have a lot here in Canada already. The best I can find is "ZLI" from BMO. When I look at the holdings, I recognize very little, and am concerned about the quality of those companies. Sure, an ETF is transparent, but if I have no way to "measure" the quality of the holdings, is this transparency useful? Can you help me out with this? Thank you.

Q: Hello
A learning question. When a company does not have analyst coverage but the share price continues to go up who is buying the shares retail investors or smaller investment firms? Reason for the question is yesterday when Peter was on Market Call he mentioned Boyd has done well even though there are no analyst covering it but it is up over several hundred percent.

Q: Hi Guys! I like and respect Eric Nuttall very much which is why i bought his SPR 006 Fund about 6 months ago. I'm down abut 30%. I've seen him on BNN many times bragging about his fund appreciating by about 60+ % last year. BUT when I look at his Fund Fact sheet, it show NEGATIVE Returns for all Previous Years. What am I missing?

Thanks as always!

Q: Good Day 5i
First of all I just wanted to commend Peter on another informative appearance on BNN. As testament to your following your top picks of PHO and GUD shot up the instant you mentioned them on air.
My question is would you please comment on the latest quarter of CXI? Is there evidence that their efforts are now finally gaining traction and would you recommend that I continue to hold. I was contemplating a switch back into BYD.UN as I had sold out of my position way too early and of course noted it was one of your top picks today.

Q: I am a conservative, retired, dividend-income investor with the above stocks and ETFs. I also own RBC Cdn Equity Income, Sentry Cdn Income, Sentry REIT, Sprott Energy, Fisgard Capital, Insured Annuities, and receive CPP and a company pension.

I have roughly 5% cash and am normally a buy and hold investor. I am looking to top up the following sectors = Financials, Industrials and Materials. I am already max'd out on the other sectors. Can you please provide me with 3 suggestions of dividend payers (3+% dividend), that would fit with my current holdings, for each of the 3 sectors?

Thanks for your help,
Steve
