Q: Why has WIN.TO gone up so much the last few days? I can't find any info why. Time to sell a half position and invest in something better like SJ.TO or should I get rid of all of it? My average is $3.97 and with the dividend I don't lose to much.
Q: I have owned Citigroup for a year and as a growth stock it's been stuck in the mud. I was about to sell it and I see Citigroup made a large acquisition yesterday. Should I hold or sell this stock.
Q: Hi,
I currently only have cash and Canadian stocks in my portfolio, the cash accounts for roughly 40% of my portfolio, but I am looking to invest into some EFT's, mutual funds and US stocks as well. can you please advise me roughly what weightings i should be giving to EFT's, mutual funds and US stocks under the assumption that my Canadian stocks are relatively diversified. And also which EFTs, mutual funds and US stocks would you recommend as of today? I am in my mid 20's and have a relatively long term horizon. Thanks in advance.

Q: Peter and Team, This is a fabulous service. Thank you. I watched your most asked questions video (great idea)and it raised a question in my mind regarding superficial losses/30 day rule re the CRA. If I own a Cdn stock that is listed on both the NY AND Toronto exchanges and I want to change holding it in Cdn. $ and switch to holding it in US$ - will the CRA count this switch as a sale of the CDN holding and a purchase of the US stock and then apply the 30 day rule. Thank you again, Nancy

Q: Wajax (WJX) I am guessing from the drop in stock price that their latest results are not stellar. Is this the case and how secure so you think the payout is the payout at this point?
Thanks for your valued assessment.

Q: GLN Glentel. Looks like investors are throwing in the towel on GLN today. One has to go back 2 years to get a comparable low! Surely things can't be that bad? Is it?
Q: Hello 5i Team,
I have a half position in Valeant (regret not buying more) and would like to increase my pharma/healthcare exposure. Have been watching Athena nose dive and wondering if you think this is a good entry point right now. Would be a 2-3 year hold. Or do you think its a bit risky now given the change in sentiment and is there another option in the healthcare industry that would be a better alternative.
Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi Peter, my daughter is 24 and has $5000 in her RRSP to invest. I have invested in CSU, STN, FSZ, BYD, ACQ, BEP, DH and ESL. These have been a good balance so far with very good growth so I was planning to advise her along similar lines. Since her investment horizon is very long I'd appreciate a suggestion of approximately 5-8 stocks for her RRSP. I find your service high quality and also enjoyable. I appreciate the direct and concise answers you give. Thanks, William.

Q: As part of my fixed income investments, I am looking at BMO's Floating Rate High Yield etf ZFH. I am trying to beat the one or two-year GIC rates but still retain a high degree of security in my investment. The etf ZFH is new and has very low volume. What would you suggest as a comparable etf? Or should I stay with the GIC approach in a 1-5 year laddered setup?
Many Thanks
Many Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,
The following is from a Tuckamore (TX)news release:
Tuckamore’s senior management, along with the support of certain funds managed by Birch Hill Equity Partners have agreed to indirectly acquire, by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company
As part of the Arrangement, it is contemplated that the obligations of the Company under its 8.0% secured debentures (the “Debentures”) will be assumed by the Purchaser and it is a condition to the Arrangement that the Debentures (as assumed) be approved for listing on the TSX, subject to the satisfaction of the customary listing conditions of the TSX. If the Arrangement is completed, the Shares will be delisted from the TSX.
----------------
I have a small holding of the debentures ( TX.DB.B 8 % and maturity 23/03/2016) which I would prefer to keep until maturity, depending on your view of the ability and quality of Tuckamore and Birch Hill management. Debs were trading around 97.50 today, up about 15% from my cost.
Many thanks and great work.
