Q: I purchased this stock on the recommendation made by Peter on BNN. The stock has performed well and is rated as a buy, but what puzzles me is the considerable insider selling of the stock. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Q: Hi Guys, I am absorbing a lot of market information and I am more frequently seeing that a market crash is imminent!
Many large investors are keeping there money out of the market at the moment...
I understand we have some sectors out of favor right now like oil, and many others sectors are doing just fine. I am not sure how to interpret the tea leaves so to speak and I have poor intuition on timing the market like you guys.
From all the information you guys scour from the market, probably more than what the average investor has access too, can you provide some market intelligence to us (your customers) on a regular basis?
Regular basis to me would be weekly and sometimes more frequently depending on global events. The oil sector I see has been telegraphed for sometime and yet I did not see this coming. I am sure you guys have access to info on the oil sector that may have dictated this downturn quite possibly.
I guess I am saying, is there a regular feature you can provide us that gives some timely market intelligence and sectors we may want to reduce or increase our holdings in?
Thank you!

Q: Hello Peter & Co.
I recently trimmed my energy exposure by exiting BTE and CPG from my RRIF portfolio with the intent of adding to my current positions in HWO, TOU, VET and WCP; however, given the energy outlook in the next while (?), I decided to postpone that decision. As a result, the sector weighting is reduced from 10% to 6.5% (vs 2.6% in 5i equity).
However my exposure to financials is 7.8% (vs 12.9% in 5i equity); it includes BNS, EFN, HCG and TD. I'm thinking of adding SLF and DH at current prices (DH could also be classified as half financials and half technology). Does this sound OK to you?
As for technology 13.2% (vs 22.3% in 5i equity) I hold CSU, CGI,ESL,MDA and OTC. I'm thinking of adding DSG at current prices; is it OK to do so?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: This REIT pays it's dividends in US dollars. Would this be a good buy at this time?
Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I have scanned many financial advisors' returns and find that your equity portfolio's returns are up there. Congratulations!
It took me quite a while to replicate that portfolio; I now hold 15 of your 22 stocks + a few in the health/pharma sector.
However, I wonder if you consider "the big picture" in your stock selection process; I'm asking this because I foresee some key catalysts pointing to some additional pull backs (eg. Fed fund rates increasing, Euro zone and Japan weakness, strength of US dollar putting pressure on Emerging economies, prolonged weakness in the Energy and Materials sectors).
I look forward to your response,
Tony

Q: Recent questions & comments about BTE mention the recent large acquisition & > debt.; however, they did just divest of a property and commit almost $300M to paying down their debt.? Comments please as I do own this one & was thinking of buying more.
Q: Hi 5i,
I appreciate oil is down materially in H2 2014, but I still scratch my head at SPE's recent performance. The stock came out with a fabolous quarterly update showing current production levels exceed year end targets. The company's management team is top notch and the netbacks are some of the highest in the industry. With all that said, why does the stock continue to fall.
I'm debating taking a loss on SPE and playing a sector with more short term momentum. Do you have any recommendations on particular stocks that you would be adding to today?

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
I am slowly but surely moving toward the "Model Income Portfolio" in one account and toward the "Model Portfolio" in a separate account. Different objectives for each account. I have owned PEY since 2010 at about $13 in both accounts. Does it make sense to have PEY and SGY at 2.5% allocations each in my version of the Model Income Portfolio and PEY and WCP at 2.5% allocations each in my version of the Model Portfolio ??? That way I have exposure to half natural gas and half light oil for my energy weightings in each account. As an aside I read Darren Gee's President's Report every month and I strongly encourage other 5i subscribers to do the same. Peyto is one of the most shareholder friendly companies in the energy sector and extremely well run. I would appreciate your opinion of my proposed energy sector allocations. Thank you. DL

Q: Prometic Life Sciences (PLI) has gone up from $!.60 in the last short while to as high as $2.20 and now they are doing a $25M financing. I tried to buy 25,000 shares and received zero! Is this stock a little expensive or would you buy it and hold for three years?
