Q: Greetings: I would like to know how many shares are "owned" (not the right word, I realize) for each company in the new Model Portfolio. I see the ACB but not the number of shares.

I like to set up the model portfolio in Yahoo Finance and see how it performs compared to mine. I have learned quite a lot by doing this, sadly the main thing being that I should have duplicated the Model Portfolio from day one and left it alone. Period. Thank you very much for stellar service. No rush for this.

Q: I am thinking of selling a 2% weighting in PWF to purchase "First Quantum Minerals". It would increase my materials weighting to about 12%. I would still be overweight in financials (BNS, TD and SLF remaining).

My materials weighting is creeping up and secure dividend income reduced for possible capital gain.

Do you like First Quantum and does it seem to make sense to sell PWF to buy them? I was an old Inmet share holder who didn't want to tender to First Quantum. But it must be said they picked-up Inmet on the cheap so I guess we have to give them credit. Inmet had some great copper properties and the price of copper just seems to be getting stronger.

Your thoughts please.

Q: re: Element Financial EFN

Hi 5i team

I saw your answer for Rod when you replied;

"We are very comfortable with the credit quality and management of Element."

I've been watching EFN for some time. As of today it is below it's 50 day average.

I was wondering what you see moving forward considering their recent purchase of PHH?

FYI... Bruce Campbell on May 2nd ($13.13) had it as one of his top picks.

Thanks for all you do

Q: This is just a comment.... I think you should have a button that says "make a donation" so that those of use that feel we would like to buy you a beer could just press it and send you a donation of x number of dollars. You have helped me so much in just a few months that I would like to just send a couple of bucks your way. I know you don't need it but it would be nice to say thanks in a concert way.
