Q: Hello Peter and team,
Hello Peter and Team,
Your reports have certainly been of good value to me lately but on another note. Finally there is some news on FLY.
FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd.TSXV:FLY, this company has just sealed a deal with Sierra Nevada Corporation ("SNC"). What are you thoughts regarding this one? Should I let it fly, hit it or just let it fly around?
Best regards,
Heather

Q: I have held on to Cominar REIT and Northland Power for a year and a half and 2 years respectively on the theory that there is no point in realizing my loss and putting the money to work elsewhere unless the outlook for CUF and NPI is dim. Is my reasoning right, and if it is, is the outlook OK for those two? CUF, sadly is in a TFSA. I'm trying to wrap my head around "selling your losers" versus needlessly trading. Thank you so much for this service. I am really enjoying the education I am receiving thanks to you.

Q: Hi, Peter and Ryan.

I hold AAR.UN (PIRET) and noticed that they issued a press release concerning an acquisition (which appears sound) and then a trading halt was issued, and then trading resumed. There was a relatively large price drop for an otherwise relatively stable stock. Can you explain the reason for the trading halt and whether I should be concerned about this stock? My own speculation is that the company may issue units at a lower price to pay for the acquisition.

Thank you,

Q: I am in process of migrating to an index EFT based portfolio,starting with VUN which is VTI in C$. For an index this broad, is it possible to find things that don't correlate eg Perhaps VAW a broadly based materials index would do the job?

What is the usual length of time to consider the correlation to provide reliable portfolio performance protection?

I there a source of information on correlation coefficients For any 2 ETFs? It seems to be an attribute that is much talked about but not often reduced to numerical presentation.
Should we just rely on ETF suppliers statements of perf over various periods?

I think it is an important topic and look forward to your experienced advice.
Thanks for all your advice

Q: Badger (BAD): Recent comments by guests on BNN refer to Badger as 2 men and a truck and sell Badger - it is fully valued ($36.00). Your opinion overrules any other one.

What about RKN? Is it safe to buy?

QUESTOR - QUEST - In two days went up 20% then fell 18%. I am curious what would cause this - bad news or profit taking - your opinion?

Q: Hi 5i team
In my LIF acct I have 13% in cash and 13%fixed income ETF's and rest in equities. The cash and FI portion is enough for 5 years of my required payout. Should I have this much in cash or should some of it be at least in Fixed income? Also in my RRSP I have 10% cash and 18% Fixed Income ETF's the rest in equities. But I don't plan on taking monies out for 6 years. Should I be investing some of this in equities? Do I have too much in cash? I am 65.
Thanks for any advice you can give on this.
