Q: This is a general question on IPOs: my son works for a small laser company in the USA - medical lasers used for all kinds of cosmetic procedures that people pay for directly - mostly women. He is in sales and is doing very well. They are going to market with an IPO in the near future. Any general comments on buying IPOs?

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

Sorry for another question about the changes to the mortgage business! The new rules will undoubtedly disqualify a number of people from obtaining mortgages, thus relegating them to renting instead of buying real estate. I'm wondering if this is a buying opportunity for "apartment" type REITs like CAR.UN and IIP.UN. If so, what REITs do you find most compelling, and is there any preference as to where should they be held? (RRSP, RRIF, TFSA, Non-registered investment account.)

Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I never held any gold or gold related equity; with today's significant drop in their value (don't know why), would it be a good time to get some exposure or do you foresee further drop?
Thanks,

Q: Hello 5i,

I currently hold Genworth, and have held it for a few years. I am wondering if after the new mortgage rules announced today if it's worth holding. Considering that 50-55% of their current clientele would be not be eligible for mortgage insurance under the new rules, what adjustments can they do to maintain their current earnings level? Is the dividend safe considering these facts? Is it worth holding considering the constraints to future business under the new rules?

Thank you in advance
