Q: Could you speak about more about your decision to trim 1% of LSPD, and how investors should think about this in general? My understanding from the majority of your responses to questions related to reducing a position size, is that you like to "let your winners run to a point". Are you always trying to determine if it is becoming overvalued when deciding when to trim? Would this mean that if you have a winner in your portfolio, as long as earnings are growing in proportion to share price you would tend to let it ride? Any information to help me understand your general strategy and how to think about applying it would be greatly appreciated. Please remove credits are you deem appropriate. Thanks!

Q: This past Jan you stated : "GENM has nearly doubled in the past year; market cap is now $115M. It has $13M cash; insiders own 6% and have been buyers; Eric Sprott owns 9%. It owns an 80% interest in the largest undeveloped palladium project in N. America. It is a good project with solid potential. Recent drill results were good. As a developer there is more work to be done here, and there are always financing, construction and other risks. But it has some good qualities for sure."

Any changes to the company? Is it also a copper miner? Is it moving into production? Outlook?
Thank you.

Q: Hi, Im interested in this etf for the income portion as it seems to pay a good dividend and holds some of the big blue chip cdn companies. Morningstar gives a 2 star rating. What is your analysis of this etf? Do you see a better rated etf. Looking for a good dividend payer with a low mer and some growth. Total return I would like is about 5-7 % including dividends. Already own xtr. Thanks

Q: Good morning. I was wondering if you could recommend an ETF that is conservative with some growth and also having a world wide focus.

Thank you for all your outstanding investment information. I couldn't invest without you.

Q: Further to Bill's question today about ROC payments, it seems that if such a payment is made in a registered account its value is lost entirely as there is no capital gain to be had. Is there anyway to recover some or all of this value or are we better to avoid stocks in a registered account (at least for income purposes) that principally pay ROC?

Q: Hello 5i,
I am a 75 year old value investor for dividends and some growth with a balanced mix of ETF's and individual stocks. I hold ENB, FTS, TRP, BCE. I see that ZWU is at an attractive price point with 7% yield. As it holds others that I do not have would this just be a duplication of what I have and leave it as not needed. or go for the value and dividend?
thank you
Stanley

Q: Hi 5i team.

I'm going to try to re-phrase my question asked earlier re: levels in the S+P.

What is the S+P currently trading at and forward PE?
Since this is on the high side historically, what would be the reversion to the mean number? (I believe it's currently trading at 25xs and the mean would be 15?)
If at some point the market heads back there (as is typical in theory) what would the S+P be trading at vs where it is today?

Many thanks.
