Q: Hi 5i team
Any thoughts on Horizon's SilverYLD - HZY - Last at $5.05 with a 9% yield paid monthly. With the potential rebound in silver over the next couple of years, would you recommend a position?

Q: I'm looking to buy at least one of the Big-5 Canadian Banks. There is all this chatter in the last 2 years about a housing crash and I'm not immune to this constant rhetoric in the news and blogosphere. Therefore I'm hesitant to put money into these banks, but I also don't want to ignore the pretty stable dividends that they can provide. Would you suggest that I make the investment in the banks now and if so, which of the big 5 is the safest?

Q: Hi Team, In response to Don's question, I use MS Excel, it has a link to get real time quote on the MSN website (Data/Existing connections/MSN MoneyCentral Investor Stock Quotes), a bit complex to setup, but well worth it. I use it all the time.

Q: hello 5i:
this is in response to a question asked by "Don", regarding tracking of a portfolio. I have two suggestions: one is to use TMX Money; free, very good news updates, current market prices on all listed stocks, etc etc.. The other suggestion is Morningstar; not free, but does an amazing amount of things including rating of companies. Very good portfolio tracking. Hope that helps; individuals will have to go to each site and explore them (obviously) to see which works better. I use both, for different reasons, and am VERY happy with the products.

Q: 5i team; A company I've watched and owned for years seems to have never had its potential recognized by the market (hardly a unique situation). However, their proprietary technology (as yet unproven on a commercial scale) certainly is unique. The serious troubles of their sponsor Cliffs Natural Resources has not helped. Any thoughts on the unusual junior First Point Minerals and their proposed method for developing iron and nickel from "awaruite" ore? Not surprised if this one's not even on your radar, but would appreciate any insight - thanks very much, Brad
