Q: Hi 5i team - Radius Gold has tripled over the past couple of days no doubt due to positive recent drill results. Volume has been extremely high especially when compared to average volume. Could you provide a few fundamentals such as cash on hand, debt, insider ownership/recent trading, and anything else you think would be of significance. Thank you.

Q: I am investigating where to invest my proceeds from KWH.UN once funds are received. I see that back on Mar 25th you recommended SPB. Since then it has been removed from your Model Income Portfolio. I also see that you have recommended PKI over SPB. I have about 2.7% of SPB in my portfolio currently. I am interested more in income then growth as we are now living off investment income. Funds that will be received are about 1.1% of total invested. I aim for 5% in a holding so would prefer 1 rather the both. Which would be preferable in your opinion? Is there a better ETF or other company?

Q: Good morning. I am in the ongoing process of re-balancing my portfolio, using your new tools for which I am grateful. We currently have a considerable “fixed income” position in pref shares of bigger Canadian companies (banks and the likes). Your analyzer tool regards pref shares as equities. I understand the legal difference between pref and common shares but wonder if it’s not really semantics. How often does the pref share indeed get the ultimate pref protection and the commons suffer? I also realize that the prefs don’t shift in value as much as the commons can, both up and down. I am wondering how prudent or necessary it is to invest in prefs? Part of my rebalancing is to increase my US holdings substantially and I’m thinking of reducing my Canadian pref positions. What would you suggest for investing on the US side as a replacement. I am overweight financials and energy and we depend on dividends for income flow. So, my two questions are how do you view pref shares generally and second, if I do reduce my Canadian prefs, where to invest in the US? Many thanks

Q: From what I am reading it appears that it is no longer expected that interest rates may raise in the next year but may even decrease. Is this your take?

Q: Would you be so kind as to provide your interpretation of Sylogist’s May 1 news release as it pertains to any possible positioning of the Company to merge or be acquired. Specifically, am I reading too much into the sections of the news release that talk about (1) senior executive contracts being negotiated to address …change of control provisions and (2) senior executive efforts will be focused on M&A activity to realize industry peer comparable value for our shareholders.
