Q: This is for Ted regarding Globe Investor Gold and tracking both share price changes as well as dividend income.

The Gain/Loss option shows $ increase or decrease in the value of a holding and total income(dividends, Interest, roc) to end up with a total gain or loss to date on a stock. This applies to both stocks that were sold and to stocks still in your portfolio.

Hope this helps.

Q: FTS & utility stocks in general? Talking heads on BNN are saying sell because interest rates are going to go up-dah? They have no where to go at some point but up & when they do it will be very slow and gradual-which means the economy is getting better. So, would you be selling utility companies? FTS made another acquisition and has a history of > dividends-30+ yr in a row.

Q: Good morning 5i team
My question is about Savanna Energy (SVY). It seems to lagging similar companies (i.e Trinidad and Western). Is there something that I'm not seeing. I thought with their Aussie exposure they would be less affected by reduced business in North America? Could you please give me your thoughts. Thanks for your great service.

Q: Re: XEG
Hi Peter:

I bought some XEG for my TFSA at around $ 18 about 18 months ago
I am under water
I think the seasonal trade for energy sector to go up is around the summer, so I am hanging on before selling it to move
to some dividend stocks like BCE, IPL.
When does the normal seasonal trend for the oil and gas stock
normally peaks ? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter&5i: I have for some time now owned American Tower (AMT), on the thesis that owning the wireless infrastructure that everyone has no choice but to use is apt to be a pretty good gig. Also it gave me exposure to the American dollar through what I considered to be a blue-chip US large-cap. Within the last few days however Carson Block/Muddy Waters (remember Sinoforest?) released an exposé style report on AMT, concluding that it was close to double its defensible valuation. What do you think? I have been using it as a cornerstone holding. Would you trim it back before seeing how things shake out? Thanks!!

Q: hi 5i,
1) do you think the US housing "recovery" will sustain. a lot of the inventory has been bought by private equity and large funds. now they need a buyer, who will that be?
2) do you think gold has turned, or do you see more downside?
3) do you see a significant correction in the US stock markets coming soon?
thx chris
