Q: Hello 5i
With pur price decline would you consider this a good time to buy or is managements own underwhelming commentary on their business performance (Q3 webcast) enough to create a wait and see status?
Looking for sustainable growth investment. Is it pur or do you suggest alternative at this time?
Thanks
Dave

Q: When analyzing Canadian stocks with considerable exposure to the US, how much of the stock appreciation in the last 5 years would be attributable to the declining Canadian dollar, and more importantly, would a rising Canadian dollar have the reverse effect? Would the effect be different for a utility like AQN with large capital investment, as opposed to a services company like TD? Would management participate in hedging strategies to limit any negative effect on stock price?
Q: In response to a question yesterday you indicated that you believe that the ALA dividend is not at risk. I have read that high yield can be a sign of weakness in a stock. Is it your opinion that the current high yield of 6.5% for ALA is sustainable at this level? Do you believe that for stocks in general a high yield is an indicator of weakness in any stock? Thank you.
Q: In response to a previous question you recommended GSY and TCL.A as good candidates as value stocks. I note that both are near their 52 week highs. I was under the impression that a value stock would have a share price that is not doing well. I would appreciate it if you would clarify for me your criteria to identify a value stock. Thank you.

Q: Peter & Co,
Crius Energy had a Q3 loss of $0.14 per share while sporting a 9.15% dividend yield. This doesn't make sense to me. Are my numbers incorrect? Is this level of dividend sustainable? Do you think the solar component of the company will be a major drag on earnings in Trump's USA?
Thanks for your clarification and assessment of the company.
With appreciation for your great service to retail investors.

Q: From what I understand insurance companies should do well if long term interest rates rise. If these companies hold longer term bonds in a rising interest rate environment would any increase in income from higher rates be offset by capital losses on the bonds as long as interest rates increase? How does this affect the stock price?
Q: I would appreciate your insight on when to exit from growth and longer term portfolios. In winning positions one has luxury to take profit according to personal inclination. Some take at 15%, some 20% to 25%.
My special concern are loosing positions. I have heard of 13 week moving average, Chandelier stop (3ATR). They make sense in a trading situations. What will your advise be to get out from 5i type Growth and Long term portfolios when the stock has tanked. Could that a specific % loss say 8% to 10%. I am interested in your criteria.
Thanking you

Q: You recently answered a question by saying "For pipeline and/or energy infrastructure, we would suggest ENB and/or TRP."
I hold PPL. Do you feel that ENB or TRP are strong enough to warrant selling PPL to purchase one/both of them?
PS: I really like that you respond to questions so quickly.

Q: 5i Folk my daughter has a ten plus year investment horizon with approx $40k cash I'd like to invest for her into the Growth portfolio. She could therefore purchase say $2000 of each of the holdings but are there any you'd currently omit or lighten up on in favour of others you'd increase the weighting on or are you currently recommending all 20 or so because you like them equally long term (or they wouldn't be included if you didn't) and would you weight each of them equally?
