Q: Hi, Can you please provide some details and your comments on this company. The Chairman/CEO is perhaps a past Apple founder/executive and company seems to have a strong technology and a list of some highly reputed customers. This was one of the top picks on BNN on Wednesday and stock jumped almost 15%, Thursday on strong volume. Thanks

Q: If possible, can you please give me your opinion on these two banks? Would you prefer one over the other? Also, do you think it's a good idea to hold a US bank? Thanks.

Q: Results - please comment. I have a concern that they payout more than their cash flow. Could you comment on this as well?

Q: Could I get your opinion on DEO as a US divvy growth stock? Covered by 30 analysts with ranges from "strong buy" to outright "sell" or "reduce"-very annoying! Technically not good looking over the last while. Should I wait or buy? or is there a US name in the booze business you is more favorable? Thank You Ron

Q: Good morning. Could you please give me your thoughts on DR? I have a small holding of 1,000 shares that are down about 19% over the past couple of months. Is it worth continuing to hold for the long term, taking into account its healthy dividend? Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and team

This just in from my alert settings;

Avigilon's Board of Directors believes the current price of Avigilon's common shares (the "Shares") does not properly reflect the underlying strength, operational track record, and growth potential of the business. Accordingly, the Board believes the purchase and cancellation of Shares under the Bid will be in the best interests of the Company and its remaining shareholders.

Looks like good news amongst all the hate!

Q: I have held Fiera for about a year with little to show for it but the dividend. You have spoken highly of CIX but it hasn't moved much in a year either. Given their dividends are similar, is it worth switching out of FSZ into CIX or would you consider that a lateral move?

Thanks for the insight.

Q: Peter and Co.
I own IPL, PPL, ALA, VET and PEY in the energy/utility sectors. With everything that's going on in Alberta what is your advice on these stocks? They are all excellent companies, so do I bail out on them and put the proceeds into tech, healthcare and consumer stocks, or should I hold on, or even buy more as the prices are low knowing that eventually they will recover. In your model balanced portfolio, the only energy stock you have is Enbridge. I am a long term buy and hold type of investor but I've been thinking for a while now that maybe I should just get out of the energy sector all together...

My other holdings include (CNR CCL.B CGX DHX MG SJ T BCE BNS TD VEF VFV VUS DH OTC CSU GIB.A ESL BIN ATD.B WSP PHM BAD & CXI)

This investing thing is harder than it looks! Thanks for all of your sound advice.

Q: Do you only have to wait 30 days to repurchase a stock if the sale will be used as a loss?

I sold a half position in a company "for a gain", if this company drops in price over the next few days can I buy it back?

Thanks as always,

Paul

Q: Hi 5i,
What is your opinion of HHF (Horizons Morningstar Hedge Fund Index ETF)? Does it provide a means to get access to hedge fund strategy without being a client of a hedge fund? If so what percent of an overall portfolio is reasonable to be allocated to this ETF?
Thank you.
