Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5I Team
You suggested I sell Colabor (GCL)last year. I did sell half my position. Is it worth adding to it this year? It does pay a very nice dividend and they seem to be turning things around.
Thank You,
Gord

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: A recent Morgan Housel article circulated by the Motley Fool discusses a developing trend in the fees charged by financial advisors, away from a percentage of AUM model and toward a flat fee approach. He suggests that this transition will ultimately have many people paying significantly less than they do presently for the services of their financial advisors. My questions: 1. Do you agree that this trend is coming? 2. If so, over what timeframe would you expect it to be substantially implemented? 3. Will it have a material impact on the revenue and earnings of the Canadian fincancial corporations that 5i members may own? 4. If so, which ones would likely suffer the most severe effects? Thanks for your thoughts!

Q: Hello Folks;
Thanks again for the great service! We have done very well on some of your recommended companies such as Badger, ACQ, Boyd etc. and have kept reducing our share count for re-balance purposes. Utilizing your experienced crystal ball, are their other companies you feel may have a decent run ahead. I can increase exposure to more stable stocks such as Agrium, Baytex etc., however don't find them very exciting. Calculated risk does not scare me off.
All the best

Q: Hi Peter and the 5i team,

I was wondering what your thoughts are on Home Bias and the ideal allocation to Canadian equities? A typical couch potato strategy evenly allocates 1/3rd to Canada, US, and International. Some prefer an even higher weighting to Canadian equities.

In July 2013, Mawer introduced a Global Balanced Fund (http://www.mawer.com/knowledge-centre/mawer-blog/the-evolution-behind-the-mawer-global-balanced-fund/) with a 2.70% weight to Canadian equities because they're "not convinced Canadian equities should dominate the equity portion."

I realize having a higher weight to Canada might lower some risk (ie. currency risk, familiarity with Canadian companies) but when we look at managing long-term risk and growth in a portfolio, does it still make sense to weight Canada at 1/3rd in your porfolio?

Thanks again,
Arneh

Q: I own WCP and have been considering buying POU & TOU as they were Eric Nuttall's top picks on BNN on April 17th but I am timid to do so as the RSI Index indicates that they are way over bought. He didn't think this was of concern as he says there has been huge demand for Canadian Oil & Gas stocks by US companies. Could I have 5I's thoughts on purchasing now are wait for a better opportunity? He also said he was 20% in cash?? Thanks, Bill

Q: Hello,
Could I get your opinion on questor technologies? I have a small holding that I bought at $2.18 and have seen some increase now. Do you have an opinion on whether there will be continued growth and subsequent price increase? As well I am considering buying shares in sunopta, I know they've seen a lot of growth recently, do you think there is room for continued growth for this company?
thank you for your time
