Q: Hi Peter. Just curious on your thoughts on First Asset Tech Giants ETF(TXF) as a way to get exposure to tech? It holds 25 names which seem to rotate based on momentum, and it has a current yield of close to 7% based on a call writing program. Given the higher implied volatility levels in tech names it only needs to surrender 25% of the upside though. Seems lightly owned given the low trading volumes, but a good way to play US tech without picking a winner?

Thanks in advance,

Q: Hello Team 5i,
May I have a update on TransForce Inc. (TFI:TSX)please?

It has done well for us this past year. (Held in a TFSA)

Now with TransForce's further enhanced national footprint with increased geographical coverage into Southern USA I am thinking of adding on this pull back.
Your opinion please ?
As always your Fine Service is Much appreciated.
Thank you

Q: Sherritt Int. (S) I have a small “speculative” position (ACB $3.73) that I had been acquiring on the premise that they would do something with the Coal assets and become predominantly a Nickel Miner/Refiner and when the Nickel market improves have a good mid/longterm upside potential.

They have sold the Coal assets but I hadn’t contemplated the Obed spill and George Armoyan’s “activism” and the pending “Proxy fight”. Shareholder activism is generally a good thing. If nothing else it tends to remind the Management and BOD of their responsibility to the Shareholders. In this case I am not sure what George Armoyan has to offer if he is successful in his effort to basically take over the BOD. I am not aware that he or his two other BOD nominees have any International Mining experience.

Your thoughts will be appreciated. Would you hold a “small speculative position” and see how things play out or get out of the way and watch from a distance? I am basically a mid/longterm investor and have learned that having patience with a company that is going through a rough patch can be very rewarding.
