Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Hi Peter, do get well soon. Now, What are your thoughts on a company called UNR Holdings, UNRH. I know its extremely small, so very high risk, but man, its trading fairly cheap. Is it because of its market cap? or is there something else going on?

Q: Stantec - puzzling

He guys

Saw your answer June 17 when asked about an assortment of options and you suggested STN was still your favorite. Knowing how you analyze in general, I have no doubt STN numbers look very good as does their long term history of quality results.

Mid Feb I took a 10% position and since then (not counting dividends) am down 1%. Long and short of it thus far this year there has been very little capital appreciation at any time. I do plan on holding for the long term but am curious if there are any reasons in particular that might explain the lethargic growth thus far this ear.

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Hi 5i Team
A question about the income portfolio. The names that you have not done a report on that are on the portfolio. How do you decide to choose these names over others in the same sector?
If you were to be doing the yearly report right now, would AYA remain on the income portfolio with such a huge gain on this stock that has already happened?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
First of all,peter, sorry to hear about your biking accident. Hope you are doing ok. My major holding in the hralth care sector isPfizer, on which i have a good profit, and in an rrsp, so no worries about capital gains tax. I have noticed that you like jnj a lot. I have been thinkig of switching from pfizer into jnj, mainly because jnj seems like a safer bet, since it is almost, you might say, a conglomerate. The rest of my portfolio is fairly balanced, so this decision only affects these stocks and this sector. I was wondering what your thoughts are on this idea?
Thanks

Thank you.
