Q: I am a new investor with my focus being on the long term. When I review the Reports for different companies, should I focus on specific grades with the Report Card. For example:
5 YR ROE;
5 YR EPS; or
should I place more emphasis on the overall rating?
Thanks.

Q: Peter:
I read with interest your article in this weekends National Post about "screening for stock winners." At the end of your article you concluded that Questor Technology is one of the few stocks that checks "most of the boxes" on your screen. That said I am curious why 5i did not resume coverage on this Company and/or add Questor Technology to the 5i model growth portfolio given its great performance year-to-date?

Q: not sure i really get the price of air transat, takeover price of 13.00 at a minimum, stock at 11.60, deal chance about 75% , maybe more, so when announced stock should go to 12.60 discount because of regulatory issues and 6-8 months to close, and this does not take into account any higher bid so why is stock at 11.60. dave

I noticed they had record revenues this past quarter and they are accelerating expiration of their warrants convertible at .69 US—if I understand what I am reading on the company.

Quick follow up question for clarification
If I hold VFV in a RRSP , will it be subject to the 15% withholding tax?

Q: I was a latecomer to learn about 5iResearch so alot of your stock picks in the model portfolios had grown too high for me to jump in on and put together a proper plan. I was wondering, with so many new stocks coming on the market since 2013, will you be putting together any new model portfolios with lower entry prices for members who were late to the party? You provide a wonderful service and I am enjoying learning from everyone's questions. Thanks so much.

Q: Good day team,
I'm not sure if this has been asked before but I was wondering if it's better to buy US stocks with Canadian cash or transfer the Canadian cash to US then buy. I have a questrade account and was looking at buying some US options.

Q: You recently provided the short position on chesswood “813,000 shares; 7% of the share float.”
As well it seems the short position question comes up with some regularity.
Can you provide some insight how as an investor I should interpret short positions.
For example I have no idea if chesswoods short position is good, bad or neutral.
Thanks John

Q: Regarding Sanjay's question about moving a Canadian stock to the U.S. side in order to keep the dividend in U.S. $, is this the only way to go about it? And if one wants to sell the stock later in CDN $, then have it moved back? Or would you just specify the currency on the trade order (or would that incur FEX fees)?
