Q: Hi team,
PLI took a deep dive today. Any particular reason why? I sold them at a loss a couple of months ago and wondered if it's worth getting back in once they hit bottom. I keep thinking there may be money to be made with this stock. Have they hit a bottom or do you think there is still some downside?
Thanks

Q: With VNR being purchased for $26 cash to the shareholders do you suggest to just let this happen in due time or would it be beneficial to sell ones shares while it is trading above $26? Thank you for any advice on this. The dividend will be missed.
Many thanks, Len

Q: Saw the analyst’s downgrade of Fiera and the resulting 5%+ drop in the company’s share price today (Monday). Do you believe the rationale for the downgrade to be valid? Is it still worth holding? Do you still have Fiera in any of your model portfolios? Thanks as always.

Q: Hi Team,

I hold some of TD's high interest savings product (TDB8150 - 1.6% interest) for short term cash. You have also mentioned PSA.TO (1.86% interest) as a similar product.

Do you know if there is any substantive difference in these two products in terms or cost or risk or anything else?

Thank you.

Michael

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have noticed from looking in the past 3 years that most of my losses have been from small cap stocks (BOS,MCB,RRX,RHT,etc...) and almost all of my gains have been from mid to large caps. I would still like to have a certain percent exposure to small caps without buying individual stocks.

-I was wondering if there are ETFs that track small caps in Canada or the US (or and ETF that tracks both) for the very long term?

-Are there some that would have a decent dividend?

-What is an ideal percent allocation for small caps in a diversified portfolio?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hi 5i, Shopify seems to have a lot of competition entering the space with Instagram and Square's announcements, and now Microsoft. Would you suggest trimming back on this name at this point if its at a 5% weighting? Thanks.
