Q: I had asked if all sectors would be covered in your Balanced Portfolio and you missed this question when you replied.
Do you think you could add another column to your portfolios and put in the sector. You are very familiar with what sector each would be but myself and possibly others are not.
Thanks so much again.

Q: I was wondering if you are going to write an article about Real Matters that is going to go public soon? Like the one you wrote for Freshii? An article in G&M today states that selling shareholders must inform by Monday if they intend to sell their shares or not. Do you think AIF will be one of the selling shareholders? Thanks.
Q: What is your assessment ? Thank you
Q: How does LMP look now to take a position ? Thanks, Paul
Q: Hi 5i,
A question related to my flow-through partnership units: I purchased in 2016. Some weeks after purchase, the partnership units were listed in my self-directed account, showing an associated value with a footnote indicating that these are not securities that trade on a daily basis. Initially the listed value was around 23 percent below my actual cost of purchase, which I took as mainly an indication of all the fees and management expenses taken out up front. Since then, the account listed unit price has been adjusted every so often (maybe every couple of weeks or monthly). Gradually the unit price has climbed to where the holding is now a couple of percent in the black (relative to my actual cost). My understanding is that I can’t sell the holding until the partnership units roll over into mutual fund units next year sometime. So my question is: in the meantime, what is that partnership unit price showing in my brokerage account based on? Is it actually something like a present market value estimate (just as though it were possible to market the units currently)? If so, are such estimates normally pretty reliable (so that the account listed value from immediately before the roll-over translates reasonably accurately into the value of the resulting mutual fund units – barring some perfectly timed market collapse of course)? Or is it more of an exercise in fiction? Thanks for any help with my understanding on this!

Q: Good day gentlemen,
Do you have an opinion on this company?
I noticed there is a new debenture that will be issued. It has an 8% yield would you consider this a moderate risk investment?

Q: Hi,
I remain somewhat confused about which account it's best to hold Dividend paying stocks in. I've noticed some responses where you indicate it's best to hold the dividend payers in non registered accounts and higher growth stocks (capital gainers) in a registered TFSA or RRSP account.
For whatever reason, I assumed the opposite as I thought receiving dividends was more along the lines of receiving income (i.e.- cash) so it would be best to put these into your registered accounts to lower the tax bill.
So, in my situation, as I receive approx 60k in annual pension income- am I better to put the dividend payers into the registered or non registered accounts to keep the tax bill as low as possible.
Thank you.

Q: Hi, folks
I'm very new to 5i Research, and trying to get myself orientated around.
I have some questions on the balanced portfolio
1) with less capital like $50k, what your recommendations on how to follow this portfolio?
2) when there is a add/remove in the portfolio, how quickly I will be notified?
3) in the report, when you add or trim a position, do you provide at what price to buy or sell?
4) for how long I need to hold the stocks in your portfolio? Do I need to have a stop loss/trailing stop to max my gain and minimize my loss?
5) what is the average holding period for a stock in this portfolio roughly? You can give me a range the longest to the shortest...
6) to initiate to build this portfolio for my own, is it better to wait for the market to pull back? or Do you have a recommendation about when to buy?
By the way, is it ok for me to ask questions about stocks/ETF's outside Canada or large cap's inside/outside Canada (I know you guys are focus on mid to small caps)
Thanks a lot!
Jane

Q: Hello all -
Regarding Hector's T1135 question a couple of days ago, he mentions that he has American stocks with a value of 120K with Canadian Broker.
First I will say I am not an expert on this subject.
It's my understanding though that he would only need to fill out the form if the total actual "cost" (converted to CAD, each at date of purchase) exceeded 100K. Is this not correct?
Secondly, this 100K (again, total cost in CAD) applies to accounts outside RRSP's and TFSA's. So in other words, if his total cost was under 100K outside his registered accounts, yet amounts inside either or both his registered accounts exceeded 100K, he would still not be required to fill out this form. Those amounts are not affected.
Is my understanding (hopefully) correct on this?
Thanks.
Jim
