Q: I've been re-balancing my portfolio over the past 2 months, thank-you for all your guidance.
I need one more stock and then I can sit back and watch my portfolio's performance over 2015. But, I'm stuck on finding that last one stock.
I need a U.S. Industrial stock with a divdend, I'm looking for Income with a 2-3 year timeframe.
I know you don't specialize in the U.S. market and understand if you are unable to answer my question. In that case maybe a member here on this board could throw out a couple of names that I could research on my own.
Thank-you for all your help. And, thank-you to the other members here, your questions and 5i's answers has greatly increased my investing knowledge, I hope my questions have in turn assisted you.

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I am 72 years old and hold a RRIF portfolio; I consider that my Cash/TFSA positions are not material for this exercise. I'm also a recipient of CPP & OAS. The PV present value of that stream of income invested at the same rate as the indexation rate for the next 20 years is roughly $360,000, which is nothing to sneeze at. I would feel comfortable with a 50/50 Equity/Fixed Income allocation for an acceptable way of preserving my capital. Do I consider the PV amount of CPP/OAS as a "fixed income" component of my overall portfolio? or would it just be considered fictitious, thus separate from my RRIF. The math would be quite different in each case; or should I go with my own "comfort zone"?
Your opinion is most valuable; I also welcome the opinions of my fellow members.
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Good Day
I have been following these assorted leveraged eft's and have considered buying on a dip and holding as a long term strategy.
Would that make sense or should you perhaps buy and sell using the 40 day MA.
Thank you
Randy

Q: I've owned this stock in a LIRA account for a few years and it's done reasonably well but seems to have leveled out over the past year or so. Any thoughts on further growth or should I dump it into something like VUG, Vanguard Growth, or?

Q: A couple of recent BNN guests have brought the Swiss global giant consumer staples company to my attention. Their case seems to be a relative valuation one vs. Global peers Unilever and P&G. This, along with the fact my portfolio is too Canada-centric holding nothing comparable, has got me thinking this might be a good, long-term, defensive addition to my portfolio. Any thoughts you might add re.this company would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Good afternoon 5i team. An insightful article in the Globe & Mail yesterday suggests that NPI may be using unusual accounting to calculate its dividend payout ratio. Got the gist of the article, which may be the reason for the stock price dropping over 2% today, though the accounting discussion is a wee bit technical for me.
Could you help with this? Does the point of the article seem valid, or are NPI's arguments against the third party opinion reasonable?
Thanks as always.
