Q: Hi Peter and gang,
I have noticed over time there does not appear to be an easy way to remove old, delisted or defunct firms from one's portfolio in most investment company accounts. Is there anybody out there performing this function?There would appear to be an opportunity for a non-profit to accept them and a donation for transfer out of an investor's account. this could clean up records, provide non-profits with a cash stream and simplify gains and loss declarations.

Q: Canadian Lithium is currently trading at $0.45 a share. With the announced agreement with Dundee Securities to purchase on a "bought deal" basis by way of short form prospectus, 5.21 million shares of the company and 25 million units of the company (subject to all regulatory approval) at a price flow-through share of $0.48 for a gross proceeds of 2.5 million and a price per unit of $0.40 for gross proceeds of $10 million, is it time to cut and run or continue to hold? I'm guessing the company has blown through the money their Chinese partners gave them and they are still not shipping product.

Thanks for your thoughts and advice!

Q: Hi 5I team,
I'm wondering how much cash I should be holding for the current environment? And is there a minimum cash percentage I should keep all the time?
Currently, I have 25% and that's probably too high.
I consider all my/husband/kids investments as one basket (family RESP, my RSP, husbands RSP, spousal RSP, minor sons RDSP, my TFSA, husbands TFSA and joint margin account) as being able to take moderate risk because I have a DBP through work.
