Q: I bought some Orca Gold earlier this year which I'm up about 30% on, I would like your opinion on there latest feasibility study results, I'm trying to decide whether or not to stick with it. The recent news on sanction reversals and the study results seems to point to more stock price growth coming, but it has come down some recently am I reading this wrong.

Examined my portfolio in relation to recommended Sector weightings. Need to trim back Consumer Discretionary. I like them all; they have done well, except for FRII. I’d like to increase the holdings for Staples, REITs, Util, Energy and Telco. Could you please suggest an equity I might add for each of these five categories? Many thanks.

Q: Further to a disappointing quarter result and horrible guidance, what do you think the new CEO will do? Any possibility that GE will be split up into several companies ... medical device, aerospace, and oil/gas etc? If so, how do you think the stock price would react?

Q: I hold these four utilities for a total of 18% of my portfolio. My holding in KWH is equal to the other 3 companies. I like the 9% yield. Is 18% utilities too high for an income portfolio? I am thinking of selling TRP.

THANKS!!

Q: Hello 5i,
I would just like to clarify: are both ZDI and AW.UN suitable for a TFSA or - in general - would one or the other be best suited to another type of account? The expectation is that both would be held as part of an income strategy, not necessarily a trading strategy.
Thanks for you help - as always, much appreciated!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: More of a comment. Its really nice to see Peter on BNN. I really like the fact that we get to see someone from 5i. Would you guys consider to make a video or two to accompany the reports of a company? I know I would be interested seeing you guys discuss companies on the 5i site in the future.

Thank you for the great advice the i5 team provided this year.

Q: One of the things you don't get investing in airlines is peace of mind. That being said, I am up substantially on Air Canada over the past few months. I am always watching to see if the steam has run out of its stock rise, however, and it has been trending steadily lower now for the last couple of weeks. Can you tell me if there is any company specific or industry news I've missed which might suggest a problem? Would you recommend this stock today?

Q: I have been watching BDI for about year, it has been a sad story. I have noticed that in the last month there has been insider buying and a large investment house has purchased over 10% of the shares. Is this stock worth buying at this point in time since there appears to be interest at this price level?

Thank you
David

I you were to participate in lithium play which of the above would you place your bet on and why? Or would you suggest something even better (in management, balance sheet situation, prospects).

Q: A couple of recent sources have suggested lower iron ore prices next year. I own LIF in several accounts and I'm wondering about selling about 25% at current prices and buying back next year at lower prices. I am enjoying the last two dividends of about 5% each. Do you see this as a reasonable approach to bring down my average cost as I purchased at much higher prices years ago. Thanks, love your service.
