Q: I have 4% of my portfolio in Mastercard. After reporting, RBC has lowered it's target price but still holds it as a Top Pick. My other financial holding is SLF (2.5%).

Q: Hello 5i.
Pushed send on this question Jan 30. Resending.

Hello 5i
I have a couple oil investments(PSK/CPG) and have been using pipelines for Energy sector exposure.

As I have been watching the chatter on 5i about energy growth stocks and with today's pull back, I have been looking to enter positions of producers....possible VII(significant asset in the ground), TOU(after purchase from Shell), RRX(a 5i focus stock).

Would you please comment on preference from above or other from universe - related to search for growth from today's price , political situation and oil/gas price environment?

Peters and Co indicate expectation for $40 oil price going into summer. How would you balance this information in purchases today?

Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi 5i

Q: Could you please comment on these 2 {FTS & SAP} Companies for a long term hold. I'm looking for income and modest appreciation. Also, do they qualify for the Dividend Tax Credit on a Non-Registered account.

Thanks Valter

Q: Good morning, Given a choice which company would you choose for a growth opportunity -- SPE or SGY? Many thanks for the great service.

Q: oil is flat YTD but WCP is down 15 % YTD. Any concerns ???

Q: Hi 5i. I have 18% of my entire well balanced PFS in US stocks. I'm thinking this may be a good time to use 2 or 3% of my Canadian cash which is 8.5% of my PFS to buy US dollars to eventually buy another US stock. Do you concur? I am thinking our dollar is going to fall in the next 6 to 12 months but I await your ideas.
Thanks guys. I'm up 30 % since I joined in April 2014...

Q: Are you going to be writing a Report on Freshii soon?
What kind of rating would it get
You think there are good potentials at this level with the expected growth in the next 2 years?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Would you be OK with switching from TOU to TOG? I realize that TOU is more of a natural gas stock compared to TOG, but I'd like to collect a dividend while 'waiting', and TOG seems to have better prospects going forward. This switch would essentially maintain our O/G sector weighting.

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: Hello 5i,
Just a further note to Steven's question about ex-dividend and dividend payout: Be careful if you sell a position that is in a DRIP since it is possible, if one is not careful, to end up with a small number of shares (1, 2, ??) resulting from the DRIP even though you completely sold out of a position. I know this is possible because I let it happen to me - once.
I hope this might help even just one person not make the same mistake!
