Q: My parents are getting close to drawing funds from their RRSPs and I want to start shifting their portfolios into safer equities. Can you recommend any lower volatility ETFs? Is ZLB fine or too illiquid? Thanks, Rob

Q: Dear Peter,

Don Vialoux has spoken a few times, most recently on BNN, about the behaviour of the market in mid-term election years. He suggests an interesting pattern for these years: that the market takes a dive in January and then rallies between February and April. From April until October, the market takes another dive, and then begins a huge rally from October to the end of the year. His data goes back approximately 60 years. I realize that 5I believes in long term value investing, and not technical analysis so much, but I was wanting your opinion nonetheless on Mr. Vialoux's thesis.

With all your experience in the market, have you noted such similar co-relations, and if so, how would you play the position with the higher risk stocks in your portfolio? (My view would be that it would be a good time to add to higher risk companies which are essentially solid otherwise, but are experiencing volatility, and to hold down the tent on the conservative parts of the portfolio.)

Your opinion is much appreciated. Thank you.

Q: I was wondering if you are familiar with MOB.UN? It had quite a spike on the increase in the dividend after acquiring some hospitals in Brazil, but has settled back to a 10% yield. Do you think it is ok, and any comments on the parent company? Thanks for the great info here.

Q: re-Bombardier-18 billion in sales-3.4 billion in cash. 69 billion backlog. Yet it seems to be the most poorly run company in the country. Any other company making as many mistakes as them would fire the management and replace the CEO. What is it going to take to shake up this company. I say hire Alan Mullaly from Ford. Your comments. thanks

Q: re: CSU... read your report and thank you for that. Share Price at the time of your report (Oct 2012) was around $104, yield at $1, it was priced then at 15 times earnings and you estimated adjusted earnings would grow to $8/share in 2013. Was this growth realized and do you consider this an expensive stock at it's present valuation?

Thank You

Q: Hello Team,
Just came across this article in The Telegraph and it fits in with my thinking and why I invest independently and rely on the 5i Team for additional advice. Fellow 5i members may find it of interest.

Q: Hello,

Rmx just got 75 million in financing and feel that they need to get an additional financing for 100 million to complete the mine and be in production. Could you give your thoughts about the financing deal. If their projections and timelines are correct what kind of company would this be comparable to that is currently in production. Last one, why do you think management has so little skin in the game?

Thanks in advance,

Arturo
