Q: Re the model portfolio, do you plan to incorporate on your site a live update of the model's performance or YTD monthly reports.
I already own several of 5i reported companies and wondering how to accumulating the model. The 5i "B rated and higher" companies not in the model that I own, should I consider these as adding "higher returns at a higher risk" or would you recommend selling these and putting the funds towards the model
Your views are much appreciated.

cheers, cy

Q: LNF Leon's Furniture I watched this stock when you first mentioned it. Got bored and forgot about it. It went snakey and out of reach on the Brick purchase and has now come back down. I've seen several recommends on BNN recently making a case for a considerable boost to earnings upcoming. What do you think of this?

Thank you!

Q: I am interested in your opinion on proposals that systemically important Canadian banks may adopt bail-in provisions such that uninsured deposits would not be bailed out by the Government - I believe Canadians have always assumed the Feds would bail out a big 6 Canadian bank but recent discussions in the aftermath of Cyprus seem to call this assumption into question

Q: You have written about the predictive value of a company paying its first ever dividend. Do you feel this principal applies to Apple? Apple started paying a dividend one year ago, is down 30% since then, generates tons of free cash flow and is widely expected to raise the dividend within the quarter.
