Q: Greetings: since your January report on FSV the company has posted quarterly and full year 2016. The stock responded well. Can you comment on your prior concerns about valuation? They raised dividend, so I assume they are confident in the future. I have owned it since before the spinoff and am up over 100%. My position is still less than 5% because I sold Colliers, which was half of my original position, but I am even more concerned about valuation now since the rise in share price. Should I be? Just wondering if it is time to move on, but reluctant to sell winner. Thanks

Q: I have read of a strategy called "Doubling the Dow" in which something like Powershares ultra Mid cap MVV is used.

I know that there are dangers in this strategy. But, it may be better than buying on margin, because you don't loose as much, if it goes down as you would with margin.

So, the question is what you think of this strategy. and are there etf's for the TSX that could be used for the strategy in canada?
thanks

Q: I am down 40% & 88% respectively on these two energy stocks. Should I continue to be patient in hopes of an eventual rebound or take my lumps and deploy what dollars are left into another sector that will produce some possible upside and yield.
I also hold TRP and KMI for cotinued sector balance in the portfolio.
Thanks 5i

Q: Thoughts on Alta gas valuation and stability of dividend. I only have a half position of Raging River. I am going to pull the trigger and take a full position. Would you add AlA at this time or recommend another. I'm open to risk and have a time frame of 5 years plus.

Q: Hello 5i. I really enjoy reading the questions on a daily basis and consider your replies VALUABLE information. So much so I recently renewed my membership.
I have held RDM corp for the past 3 years and it has been a steady, low volatility stock. After todays buyout news, I am considering selling and putting the cash into another company in the same space. Do you think TNC is a good replacement? It seems expensive compared to RC.
Thank you.

Q: Looking to spread my Technology investments into US$ shares in one of these 3 positions. All seem to be doing extremely well and appear quite similar to each other. Share prices go from $128-$52-$17 and psychologically I have an aversion to paying over $100/share (I know there is no rational to that).
Would appreciate your analysis of these 3 and recommendation or any others in this arena.

thx

Q: Hi 5i

Have you noticed a '5i Effect'? As an example AIF was at 29.77 Janary 25 and you announced addition to BE portfolio Jan 26. Since then it has gained 9%. I noticed similar reaction on TOY.
Is your subscriber base large enough that we move stocks when you recommend them? Or is it just good timing on your part?

Thanks again
