Q: Hi,

I have about 8% of my portfolio in WPM, LUN, DPM and FCX. Wondering if you think I should add 3% in steel?

If so, which US or CDN companies would you recommend? STDL seems to have the best long term returns but I've heard their earning are expected to go down next year?

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i team,
GUD seems to be a self induced zombie stock. It has not moved for the past 2 years from it's ~$5.40 level. It had an earnings beat in the last quarter but as you mentioned in a past question, the EPS is very low.

Do you know when they will have their next quarterly earnings?

I tend to hold onto stocks when they have access cash for a long time (that is why I held even when you gave the order to sell), but like QTRH, they seemed to have not done much of anything for the shareholder. After holding for ~5 years, I am giving them another quarter to see if there is any movement but will probably drop them if nothing happens.

Q: Hi there,

I know you can only generalize re portfolio makeup - I’m up 75% on this stock and it now makes up 7% of my fairly well-diversified portfolio…do you think it’d be appropriate to trim back to 5% at this point or stay in this weighting as everything I’ve read about this company seems very positive in the near term?

Thanks very much.

Q: Good Morning,
I am under water with both isv and et and would like your opinion on their growth profile for the coming year. Also is there any possibility that they might increase their dividends this year? Do you think that et might give a special dividend this year?
Also, I am considering investing in gei. What do you think of this company?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi
I know that there has been lots of discussion on 5i about the cost base for Topicus when it was spun out from CSU. However, I've reviewed the questions and forums and I'm still confused. TOI has been sold in a non-registered account and now I need to determine the cost base for tax purposes. The brokerage shows $0. Is there a consensus on what the TOI cost base at spin out should be? Thanks for providing some clarity!
