Q: I have been keeping a good portion of our portfolio in cash, and for the last couple of years in GICs where the interest rate near 5% was ok. But some have and others are coming up for renewal and rates are now lower, around 3.25%, Would something like PPL be a reasonable alternative to earn a somewhat better return wth still a good degree of safety? Any other suggestions? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: If you submit a trade with a stop loss, can other people in the market see that stop loss. Is it true that someone can trade the stock down, pick out the stop loss and then the stock price goes back up? How does that work?

Q: Re Fannie Mae FNMA - not in your system- but number one on the 5i blog's Rockets and Duds weekly list and others that seem to be exclusively US names, I would have more interest in following this feature if it had Canadian names, which I thought was 5i's expertise.

Q: Since you commented on NCi's earnings about 5 weeks ago, the SP has risen 60%, largely due to two announced purchase orders totalling more than $22M, not bad for a company whose market cap has only recently surpassed $100M. Good to see that trading volume has appreciated noticeably and Canaccord has initiated coverage although they may soon have to increase their price target. Have we got a winner here?

I am looking at Appel's potential headwinds with the current US administration position on trade and thinking of selling 1/2 my position and adding DSG as a replacement for a long term hold. does this make any sense to you guys?

Q: I hold a full position of KKR which share price has fallen significantly from the January high. I am unable to find the fundamental reasons for the price weakness and started to doubt my original reason to own the stock.
Please kindly advise if I should continue to hold or sell for tax loss harvesting. Thank you for your great service. Bill.
