Q: I have owned Russel 2000 Growth, as per your model growth fund for several years and over the long haul it has been a good performer. Thanks so much as usual!

I have recently read a couple of different articles referencing the potential for small cap value to perhaps outperform the market over the coming period of economic growth (ever the optimist). In particular, Simon Consable's article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal "Small ‘Value’ Stocks Are Down but Not Out" These stocks are still amongst the markets biggest losers year to date. What are your thoughts on this hypothesis and would adding the Russell 2000 value be a reasonable way to play this? Are there any individual stocks that you currently like that would fit this thought that are yet to rally?

As always, thanks for the great advise and service,

John

Q: Hi 5i Team,

We've just moved my sprite 87-year old mother's $72,000 from her broker to Questrade. It's a non-registered account and we are trying to make decisions on where to put it with special consideration to taxation.

One option I've discovered is Horizon Corporate Class Funds (a company called Purpose also has them).

It's suite of around 15 funds which include a few different equity types (TSX index, Euro and international stocks, and sectors like financials and energy) a few different bond types, and things like dividend and preferred share funds. As I understand it, one can buy and sell within this suite without triggering a taxable sale.

Beyond that, I don't know much about the tax structure so am turning to you. I wonder if you see this as a good place for this money.

Also curious about your opinion on preferred shares in general. They strike me as a good option for my mother's situation but my financial advisor considers them a thing of the past.

Thanks as always for your wisdom on this site. I'm delighted I bought a subscription.

Q: The gap between these two tickers seems to continue to widen.

BIP.UN yields over 4.5% and BIPC 3.9%. Even with the dividend tax credit, the aftertax dividend cash flow is much high from BIP.UN. Am I going crazy? I have been wanting to step in here for a long time (definitely miss the "boat to a certain extent) but why wouldn't I invest in BIP.UN?

Q: Company Release from June 8
Questor Technology Inc. announces that John Sutherland, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, has decided to retire effective immediately.

Stock moved up on this 'sudden' news. Any insight why and what it might mean in the future? Could it mean he wasn't the person for the new normal that QST will need to adapt to?
