Q: Will 5i be preparing a report on this company in the near future? It's had a great run the past several years and has been increasing its dividend regularly. I'm considering adding after the pull back. Seems to be decent growth ahead of it but how fast can it pay off its debt (seems pretty high). What grade would it most likely receive and why? Thanks.

Q: I am new to trading and managing my own portfolio. I have been investing for a few years now , but had everything managed by a broker. I decided i wanted to manage my own portfolio due to management fees and what i felt were average returns at best over the past few years. Is there a trading platform or two that you could recommend ? I read the reviews on Questrade and BMO Investor Line and both had really poor reviews .

Q: I am in the process of trying to compare my historical investment performance to that of the indexes (total return statistics, including dividends). I am finding it difficult to obtain statistical data (not charts) of the total return performance for various indexes. Can you suggest a reliable source please.

Thank you again for all of your excellent advice over 2018! Best wishes for a very Happy New Year!

Q: I'm looking for suggests on where to invest about $18K that I have in cash that's in two RRSP's and my TFSA, from stock sales and cash deposits in 2018.
My total portfolio is about $53K, with $22K already in RBC, BNS and BAC, also $3.5K in Goeasy and $1.5K in Orca Gold, I'm still up on all of these even with 2018. I have a further $7K in various oil, gas and a driller, these I'm under water over 50%, but like to keep them for now and try to recoup some of those loses as I think they are very oversold.
Can you give me some ideas for investing my cash, I'm looking for longer term investments not just trades, I would prefer dividend paying stocks but would also be interested in non-dividend payers as well. I want to stick to Canadian companies for now as the dollars is down some much against the US.
Also should I look at trimming the banks stocks I currently have, I'm quite overweight on them, but I'm not worried at this point with the amount I have tied up in them.

Q: Sold Cliq and Ygr today at a loss. Bought MAXR at $ 15.60. Yield of 9% ???. Would it be a good idea or sell into the strength.? In spite of their problems in the past current fundamentals don’t look all that bad. How big a problem is their debt. New arrangements with their bankers. I’m mainly a dividend / growth investor. This is my only tech stock. 3% of portfolio.
