Q: I have owned Transalta for 15 years and have had it on dividend reinvestment for the same period. All of the other utility stocks that I own have performed well (ema,fts,trp,enb) but TA has been an underperformer. I am considering switching TA for Capital Power (CPX) and was wondering if you would agree with this switch.

Q: Good Morning Peter and the 5i Team,

A comment regarding Gildan: I took my grandson to the Halton Skills competition in Milton this morning, and was pleased to see that all the t-shirts supplied to the participants were in large Gildan boxes. Owning GIL, thanks to the superb advice from 5i, has been most rewarding! Thanks for such timely recommendations.

Q: Those who trade with TD should know they have a President's Account for investors with $500K+ or 5K annual commissions. Among the benefits is this - "The President's Account clients have an exclusive Priority Phone Line they can call into which will be routed to an experienced professional with quicker wait times." Streaming and Level 2 quotes is another big plus, and Globe Investor Gold. You may have to ask for it; I don't know why TD doesn't advertise it.

Q: Could I have your thoughts on Mercer overall?It seems cheap and looks like a value play in a stock universe where value is increasingly difficult to find. Also could you comment on currency tailwinds that might benefit them in the near and medium term. And am I right to say that the Canadian equity seems to have very low trading volume or is it close to none for some reason that I have missed? Thank-you.

Q: I have significant positions (and losses) in my RRSP in BDI, STN and HCG that I note you have removed them from your model portfolio.
Would I be better to trim or eliminate from my RSP and put this into positions that I have not previously held from that portfolio such as ATD.B, WSP and BIN ?
(I am already well overweight in Financials and Tech, and do hold 12 of the 21 companies in that portfolio.)
Thanks for your help. My portfolios have done very well on your advice and I anticipate continued success!

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team.
I have significant losses in my Energy positions in my RRSP and have previously asked for your help in rebalancing my Financials, Tech, and Energy positions 30%, 40% and 15% the latter down from 30% last year before the energy crunch.
My questions today and I am asking for your advice on what is left in the portfolio; namely BAD, BDI, and SGY that have all been down 40-50%.
Would you continue to hold?
Replace with other Energy stocks?
Or sell and avoid the sector completely until a recovery is underway.
Thanks for all the help!!
Peter
