Q: I have some Pan American Silver shares in my Canadian dollar account at my broker, but I also have some Pan American Silver shares in my US dollar account (obtained through a US takeover).

I don't think my broker charges anything to transfer the shares from my US account to my Canadian account, but my question is: When I move the shares from my US account, will they automatically transfer one-for-one so that I simply have all the shares combined in a single (Canadian) listing? This would save me an extra commission, and a potential foreign exchange hit, if I ever decide to sell them. Thanks.

Q: I am intrigued with the price action of AXON, for past several weeks. Even when markets and its peers defence/technology stocks are flirting with all time highs, this one does n't seem to catch a bid. Could you help understand, as this is apparently one of your top conviction stocks.

They say that if in an up market, if a stock struggles or moves lower, we need to watch it.

Thank You

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

Even with its recent decline, but as long-term holders, CSU is our top allocation with 11.53%. I also note that National Bank has revised its rating to “Sector Perform” from “Sector Outperform”.

If this was YOUR account, would you trim CSU? (Portfolio Analytics suggests that our Technology allocation should be 15%, but it’s presently at 18.08%).

Thanks as always for your assistance.

Q: Good morning 5i,

I hold the following industrial/material stocks in my RRSP: GEV (2%), FIX (2%) ETN (1.5%), HEI (1.5%), RTX (1.3%), GE (1.2%), LIN(1.2%), EME (1%), VRT (.5%). I also own AXON (3%).

I would like to increase the weight of some of these positions - ideally through consolidation. Could you please put these in order of conviction (growth) for a 5 - 10+ year hold. Are there any that you would sell outright? Would you recommend any other industrials?

Many thanks!

Q: Can I have your most recent thoughts on Booking? Including the last question specific to the company in July and recent “top pick” type references you have remained generally constructive but it seems the company has now retreated to what looks to me as a technically significant point, and is nearing break-even for me. Is there a level that would cause you to say “whatever is going on here we would step away” or do you remain comfortable in the short to medium term? Thanks.

Q: IJR has underperformed IWO this year. I am wondering if it is still worth holding or would selling for more IWO make sense? Also does 5i still believe small caps will turn-around and out-perform in future?

Q: I see you have just added HME to your income portfolio. I have held it for a couple of years, and it pays a good dividend of about 8% including the semi annual special dividends. The stock price didn't do much until it spiked up on Sept 18, and it has been inching upward since then, now about 15% higher than 3 months ago. Do you have any idea what has caused the recent increase in the stock price? Do you think it could be a target for a takeover?
