Q: I am wondering why your BEPORT is so high in Materials and Industrials and why it holds no Telecommunications, Utilities or Real Estate? I believe that most of 5i's recommendations have a much lower percentage in Materials and Industrials and suggest that most people hold stocks in all eleven sectors.

Q: Hi Peter
Recently several high profile investment advisors have predicted an "eminent crash" in the markets. Any suggestions on how to protect oneself in these uncertain times. Do you believe a crash is eminent.
Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,
I’m wondering if it’s possible to access your past comments made when you add or remove stocks from the 5i portfolios. Specifically, right now I’d like to be reminded of what you said regarding Hydro One, but it would be nice to be able to retrieve your comments on companies you pick but have not done reports on.
If such a tool isn’t available now, perhaps you might consider it at some point? Thanks a lot.

Q: Hello Peter et al.

What is your viewpoint on SDX Energy at the moment? I have noticed that Josef Schachter has been on BNN lots of times promoting this stock. I see the benefit of it as well but I don’t agree with his prognosis of gas stocks in Canada being way undervalued and a good investment opportunity. His past picking history does not bode well in my opinion and because he likes SDX so much it concerns me. The company has no debt, lots of cash. Every well is a discovery in the last 6 morning months to a year. They are getting great prices for their gas in Morocco and Egypt. What is not to like!!! Am I missing something here?

Regards,


Brendan
