Q: re: WOW!!!! & DASTY - Dassault Systeme A


Been watching the digital printer industry as I think eventually everyone will have one of these things.

Today... DASTY down almost 50% from $125.54 - $63.43. Do you know what's going on here?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi
Please give your comments on TLF.un.
What do you think of it as an investment for income and growth in a taxable account. Are you still unhappy with the fees?
Are the fees subtracted before the yield is shown? (6.4percent in globe and mail today) Thanks!

Q: Good Afternoon Peter and Team,
Just read a blog on Mawer Investment Management's site which discusses "10 Ways That Investors Can Avoid Being Duped". Link is below:
http://www.mawer.com/knowledge-centre/mawer-blog/fraudster-alert-10-ways-investors-can-avoid-being-duped/
I suppose one of the best ways to help avoid being duped is to keep your 5i Membership up to date and pay very close attention to what Peter and/or Ryan have to say about a particular company before you purchase.
Just thought I would share this with other members. Thanks, DL

Q: Good day 5i Team,

Within context of an RESP where the value does not yet facilitate self direction, could you advise of a decent etf that is most closely aligned with the recommended holdings of the model portfolio. We are looking at a 15 yr horizon, and would like moderate risk within the tax sheltered account.

Thanks,

Eric

Q: Hello 5i team,
In early May, I sold all my VRX shares to buy a ½ position in each of CXR and GUD with the view to maintain the ½ position in GUD but to add another ½ in CXR.
CXR has flown up by 26% since then and that is making me hesitate to buy the other ½; my other holdings in the health care sector are a full position in 2 ETFs namely XHC and ZUH; I still have some spare cash so what would you suggest?
Thanks
Tony

Q: ACC Amica Mature Lifestyles The last time a Q was asked about ACC it had just bounced off a 4 year low. You liked it for income. Here it is hitting a new low. At some point there has to be a capital gain opportunity along side a juicy yield. Are we there yet?

TIA

Q: Scorpio Mining (SPM.TO). After several years of basically avoiding the base metals industry, I have gradually been reorienting my portfolios with the addition of LUN,HBM,FM and TEK.B. So far so good and I have now decided to add a little more torque and started buying SPM this morning which besides zinc, lead and copper gives me some additional silver exposure. I have read your previous comments on SPM and wonder if, at this time, you have anything to add on this speculative investment? At this point it represents well less than 1 percent of my total investments.
