Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you give me an update on the fundamentals of Medgold including available cash and insider ownership. Could you also provide any info you can find on average daily volume - there seems to have been a spike in volume recently but I really don't have any reliable data to indicate whether this is truly a substantial increase or not. Given the price I realize this company is pretty close to being in the 'buy a lottery ticket' category but it did have some success a couple of years ago.
Thanks.
Rob

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
I own above stocks and represent 6% weight in my total portfolio. The stocks have came down a bit with recent weakness on the gold and silver movement. Should I trim down some of the position? I am still in profit but worry that these stocks may go down further. thanks!

Q: If one is only invested in North America, would now be a good time to buy VEE, or if you have a better idea for emerging markets? Also, if one has built a conservative portfolio for elderly parents using only VBAL and VCNS, would adding VEE be a good compliment, or would it add significant risk ?

Q: Good day and thank you for all your valuable information. In looking to consolidate some income positions in my portfolio I would like to bring one of these two high income earners toward a fuller position of 4-5% in my portfolio (currently ZWC at 1.1% and MFT at 1.98%). Portfolio is aimed at getting 80-20 split equity-fixed income. Can I have your thoughts on these two and any suggestion toward any other I should be considering instead. Thank you.

Q: This is not a question, but a comment. Many years ago I read "One Up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch. My main takeaway was to look around me. As a shopper I hate Loblaws since there are always bare shelves and they seldom have what I want. If there is a special, they are sold out within hours on the first day. This has gone on for many years. In contrast, Metro always has what I want and sometimes more. Therefore I own Metro and have done well by it.

Q: HI Peter and Staff
My health care basket of stocks (mostly US) is in my RRSP where I am not taking withdrawals from. Hence dividends are not the motivating factor but rather overall returns over the next 5-10 years.
All individual positions are small in relation to size of my overall portfolio.
I am considering shaving some of my JNJ and PFE and adding to my DXCM and IRGS.
Does this sound like a good move in total or in part or not at all.

Thanks for all you do
Dennis
