Q: I own some of Sherritt bonds that matures in 2018. Would you agree that the probability of this proposal to succeed is very high? What does this mean to the chances of the company survival? Would you recommend taking the consent incentive in money or in warrants? Would it advisable to add to my holding of this bond? My holding is insignificant as a percentage of my total portfolio. Are bondholders entitled to receive the maturity value on maturity date, or would that force the company to file for protection because it might not be able to meet their obligation?

Thanks.

Q: I am retired and have several dividend stocks. I'm a recent member to 5i research and am looking at adding AW.UN and ECI from your income portfolio. They have increased in price since you put them in the portfolio. Is it still advisable to purchase them at the current price or could you suggest a maximum price point for purchase? I plan to hold them for a few years.

Q: I note that TD Securities have today recommended Teck Resources as a Buy at $15.32. The 12 month target price is $17.00 and the stock is rated as "High Risk". With all respect, it's difficult to feel comfortable with this type of recommendation.
Am I missing something?

Q: Norbord is down nicely, no doubt with the general market. However they do have exposure to Great Briton. I am not concerned with the impact on the OSB market but the Pound will certainly affect the profitability. At $25.00, do you think it is a good time to take a partial postion on them at this time?

Q: Hello 5i,
Do pretty much all hedge and mutual funds require that you be an Accredited Investor?
This seems ridiculous...
Basically I must make over ~200K per year or have a net worth of >5 million.
The alternative is that I must invest over 2 million if I am not "accredited".

Taken together, isn't this pretty silly?

Q: This question refers to the ex-dividend date and would, I imagine, apply to any dividend paying stock. The question is, if the Ex-dividend date is June 27th and I buy the stock on that date, do I qualify for the June dividend?
Thanks
