Q: Peter et al.

Any thoughts on this one. It is the rebranded Bioniche. They recently got an FDA notification that their bladder cancer drug (Urocidin) will get FDA fast-track review. They seem well cashed up, but do have a lot of shares outstanding (280 million). Thanks.

Q: What is your viewpoint on CRH Medical? Bought a half position this week at $4.80. I am looking at a 3 to 4 year hold on this one. I missed out on Concordia Healthcare as I would have liked to have bought it at $60 and it took off before I could. Could this be the next Concordia?

Regards,

Brendan

Q: What is you opinion on the latest rise in Oil stocks (Ithaca and Surge) and more specifically the latest bounce in the oil price? Is there anything fundamentally behind it or is it just a dead-cat bounce and it will turn much lower in the fall with the inventory build ups due to the refinery maintenance season being soon upon us? I can't find anything fundamentally to explain the sudden rise. Many analysts are predicting anywhere from $30 to $85 a barrel by Christmas? What is your viewpoint on where you think the oil price will be by the end of 2015 and more importantly for me the end of 2016?

Thanks,

Brendan

Q: Hi peter - I recently sold BYD.UN - LNR (did very well) - I want to buy a Canadian company and then have my broker switch to a US account. I believe that @10% I am underweight in the US. The Canadian dollar is still falling /not showing any sign of - The struggle I am having is I really still like the auto sector. LNR has really dropped from its $89 Cad high. Do you believe that (a) the Cad $ is headed lower. (b) MG has still got room to grow compared to LNR. (c) I am better off buying AGU and get out of the Auto sector? Any other suggestion would be welcome I am a moderate investor who likes stability/growth ...Thanks for your advise

Q: Hi 5i team. Thanks for the great service. BAM recently invested in infrastructure in India. Does that in any way affect Brookfield Infrastructure? It seems, to me that sometimes the assets are passed on or are sold to the subsidiary. Can you comment please if this might have long-term impact on Brookfield infrastructure?. I have been focusing on building positions in Brookfield Infrastructure and Brookfield Energy Partners

Thank You

Q: Could you comment on their latest results? This is a painful long term holding, down 10% over several years in a stock that should provide stability in a choppy market. Perhaps the market does not like their expansion plans? The chart trend is terrible and shows no attempt at stabilizing. Time to get out?
Thank You Ron

Q: I believe that 5i puts more faith in Point and Figure charts than just about any other technical indicator; when the Diamonds - DIA - were at $165 last week the bearish price objective was $151, which was met last Monday. Currently stockcharts.com has a bearish target of $123 which would imply a further downside from here of over 4000 points on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The SPY target is $153, almost as bad in % terms. Any comment on these observations? Also how much use are P&F targets on indexes vs. individual securities? Thanks, J.

Q: Hello Peter & team,
The interest sensitive RE/Telcos/utilities sector represents 9.2% of my portfolio; it comprises BCE,BEP.UN,CIG,FSV,TCN. The last 3 have contributed to a healthy 24.7% total return so far this year.
As I also own BAM.A and BIP.UN (in other sectors), I'm thinking of adding BPY.UN to this sector and thus adding 1.4% to the sector weighting.
Your opinion is most valuable.
Thanks,
Antoine
