Q: Hi team. I heard on BNN today that the reason for the drop in B2Gold (BTO-T) yesterday is that the Philippine gov't is considering raising the taxes B2 pays from 2% to 10% in July. Have you heard this and does it change your opinion of the stock? Thanks!

Q: Fortis (FTS)--re the attempt to acquire Central Hudson. There are disturbing reports of Fortis' behaviour concerning their work in Belize and other overseas areas. Do you know how much truth there is to these claims? Or are the CH people just so against the use of fracked shale gas that they'll say anything to block Fortis in their area? This could influence my retaining (or not) of my stock in Fortis. On a strictly financial basis, would you keep Fortis at this point?

Q: I can imagine 5i is inundated with questions pertaining to stocks you don't recommend compounded by questions of stocks you do. Perhaps getting ahead of the curve would be beneficial addressing press releases from companies you do recommend (B+ and above) before questions are asked. HR REIT announced an acquisition and Aya announced a partnership to wit I am sure many users of this service are very interested in your thoughts. Just my 2 cents...

Thanks for the great service, I just hope the questions don't outweigh the resources limiting the effficacy of what you are trying to achieve.

Q: Hello,

What are your thoughts on using the PEG ratio as an added metric to analyze growth companies? I'm looking at Kulicke & Soffa Industries (KLIC), the fundamentals that are available to me look decent, low P/E, no debt, high growth. This stock has a PEG of .44, would you take that ratio into consideration when deciding whether to invest or would your decision be based only on the fundamentals.

Thank you.

Q: I can see in my portfolio the rotation happening that you have been addressing, as I have a lot of dividend payers (my pipelines, utilities, telecom, reit's are going down). Can you recommend specifics stocks / etf's to rotate into as I would like to participate. It looks like its just the beginning. Thanks - John.

Q: I think I know your general opinion of IPOs, but do you have anything special to say about the Loblaw offering of Choice Properties REIT, especially in regard to pricing? Seems to be horrible timing for them,too.

Q: Hi,

I am fairly new to the trading game and with the recent talk of rising interest rates, many analysts are saying it will have a negative affect on pipelines and utilities?

I don't understand the correlation between the two. Could you please provide your comments.

I currently own IPL.UN, Gibson and Arc Energy. Small weighting in my portfolio.

Thank you.
