Q: Hi I just watched this hedge fund manager short EIF I wonder what his credentials are I doubt reading a Finance Report are his forte .I believe any can and has the right to short a stock but when as a guest on BNN you do this it has a impact on the stock .
I believe that BNN should not allow exposure to these hedge Managers to help them advertise their short position .
As a shareholder of BCE I am going to be a pain in !@@&^
for the next while BNN should be held accountable
Kind Regards
Stan

Q: Good Morning
Today, on BNN, an analyst indicated that he is shorting both stocks. I will appreciate your views with respect to the above noted securities. I am ahead about 40% on both stocks.
Would you recommend selling TRI and EIF
Thank you

Q: I am looking for a mid cap silver miner/producer but the only ones I know of are Fortuna, Tahoe and Endeavour. Do you have other suggestions that I may compare to these three. Thanks

Q: Hi All at 5i!!! I would like your advice. I would like to design a fixed , very, very (did I mention very?) conservative portfolio which will preserve my principle and earn me 4-5% income. This money will be held outside of a registered account. I own enough stocks, and do not want to add any more if I can help it. I own a good portion of the dividend aristocrats already. I understand that the taxation is not favorable outside of a registered account for fixed income and this may be a tall order considering how low interest rates are. Do you have any tools in your investment tool box to help me with this, and what would they be? Kind Regards, Tamara

Q: Hello,
Question about bonds, trying to figure out if buying bonds with ratings like BB or BBB would be a godod addition to my portfolio ( risk / return). Are there a lot of options for canadian companies ? What kind of yield should we expect for 3 / 5 year term ? Is it available through discount broker ? Is there a minimum amount per company and what kind of trading fee should we expect ? Any recommendations or sector suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Q: There has been good appreciation in many Canadian healthcare names over the last while. When I look at RX I see a company with no debt, free cash flow, growing cash position, and moderate earnings growth. All the while it appears poised for a good q4 and trades at a relatively reasonable p/e compared to the sector. Is this stock poised to move higher at some point soon? Would you recommend it here? Thanks
