Q: Hi team, given today's news on Alimenation Couche Tard and price jump, is it still a buy for long term growth, or would PBH or DOL be good alternatives
Thanks. Sam

Q: I have no fixed income in my portfolio. I'm 63 and have been retired five years. I'm still a fairly aggressive investor and need some appreciation from my holdings to fund my lifestyle. In this low-rate environment, I have little interest in bonds but would like your opinion on preferreds. The new issues seem to have addressed the reset problem. Is this true and can you provide some names with a nice return, reasonable safety and possibly trading below par. The last criteria is the least important.

Q: just read Peter's earlier question on CBO. I'm in the same boat. Over the past year CBO has returned exactly 0.44%. The distributions have almost been completely offset by the decline in CBO's unit price. A return of pretty much 0% is not what I expected from this one, especially since CBO was/is highly recommended by 5i.

Q: August 22/16 ? Asked by Carla:

The question implies that CEF.A represents gold bullion, however that is only 60% true as the rest represents silver and cash. This is a frequent misconception. Publish at your discretion.

Q: Hi guys,

I read an article on Stella Jones from a couple of years ago where the CEO said that eventually the Company would move up its payout ratio after its exhausted its acquisition/growth phase and it envisions itself similar to a utility in the future with slow growth, but a high payout ratio and yield. Do you think the same can be said for ATD.B eventually. Do you think they will raise their payout ratio to more than 50% when growth slows and transform themselves into a utility like stock?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: The guest on BNN Market Call Tonight - John Kim - mentioned on the show that DH is planning some kind of a media event for the public to go over DH's fin tech business. This is supposed to give this business more clarity and transparency on its operations.

If true, can you tell us more about this "event", in terms of timing and content? I think, if the company can cast a positive light on this business, this maybe the much needed catalyst to pull the DH share price from its recent death spiral.

Thanks.

Q: Do you feel that JC Penny is a buy ? ( seems cheap but.... ) The retail sector seems to be struggling with JCP and Macy's trying to find a bottom :
Yet Smart-REIT and Simon Properties are chugging along fine .
This doesn't make sense to me .

Q: Hi 5i,
In an answer to Cliff asking for replacements for recently sold PLI, you suggested GUD and SIS. Does this imply that SIS should be in Healthcare? I have it listed as Industrials. If so that changes my question as I was wanting a replacement for PLi and CRX. I only want a weighting of 5% but already own SIS and GUD. Thanks for the continually excellent services offered. US would be OK.

Q: Hi Peter,

I am 43 years old and my portfolio closely tracks your balanced portfolio. I also have exposure to the us and international stock market. I am at a point that I have enough contribution and exposure to the stock market and I do not plan to contribute more. I also have real estate exposure by owning my own home in Toronto. Now, I am looking for new investment vehicles to invest my disposable income. I have 10 year time horizon. Any general suggestion? I am willing to consider alternative ideas ( e.g. willing to buy a property in the US). Thanks for the great service.
