Q: Dear 5i team.

Can you update your viewes on REMX please? What is your assessment of:

1) up/down part of the cycle?
2) co's trading at decent multiples?
3) Does this pay a dividend?

Do you still see this as a good part of a diversified portfolio?

Appreciate your help.

Q: Hi team,
I am currently treading water in TVE. I understand that HWX is also a Clearwater producer. In comparing the two, HWX has more production, much higher ROE, lower debt, higher margin, lower PE and higher dividend. Would you sell TVE and buy HWX?

Q: One of the recent questions concerned Apple. A 5i member noted that they had purchased the stock at a very low price and now had a huge profit. In essence the question was addressed to you to share with others and confirm their "skills" or good fortune. I would like to compliment you on your answers keeping all of us concentrated on what really matters. Investing in good, solid companies, diversification, and don't trade too much. Oh, and be very thankful when luck shines your way!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is a simple question for you but I do not want to make a mistake with CRA in regards to Capital Gains. If I have a stock in the green and sell ...do I have to pay on just 50% of that gain? On the other hand If I have a second stock in the red of an equal loss and sell...does that just negate the gain entirely? On the other hand are gains only at 50% and losses at 100%? In other words how does one calculate capital gains in general?Thanks...don't want to get into trouble with the "Tax-Man"! Ha!Ha!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have owned this stock for sometime and am up with its recent run. I have hit my sell target but now gold is surging. I am a disciplined long term investor. So your opinion please...do you think it has a little or great run way. I accept that you can not expect to sell at the exact high or buy at the exact low. So if I missed a further increase I would not be troubled. However if I hold and it retreats I would be up set that I was undisciplined...if you know what I mean. So what do you think...good odds to hold for awhile or take the profit and be happy. Thanks for you opinion...I realize I am totally responsible for my ultimate decision.
