Q: I have a small registered account where the earnings are taxed upon withdraw. Currently it holds 100 shares of: BAD, ESL, HR.UN and STN (with only a small net gain over the six months it's been open). I have an additional $2000 to invest. What is your suggestion for about a 10 year time horizon. I don't want to take on too much risk but do very much want to increase the returns (like everyone does!) What's your suggestion?
Thanks!
PS. I love that you are biking for personal challenge and kids' cancer. I'll definitely contribute to the cause!

Q: Thank you 5i for being here. Stumbling across your site just under 2 years ago has been the best investment I have ever made.
Speaking of The Best Investment - if you had to buy just 1 name for 5-10 year hold (I am 62 years old) which name would it be.
Thank you as always.

Q: Can you give me your thoughts on Counsel Corp, CXS, poor performance in the past few months and it's outlook going forward. All my other financial stocks, CM, BNS, TD and HCG have done well but CXS has mystified me despite reasonably good results last quarter.
Also I got shares of HGP as part of their special dividend and while I would like to sell these shares the price changes from day to day but my discount brokerage account shows no trading activity. Why is that?

Q: BPO.PR
Hi There
I hold approx equal amounts of the L and R series (~1.5% of each).I am thinking of selling R and buying more L with the proceeds, for higher current and reset yields and shorter time to reset.
Am I missing something, as the yields appear not to be what you might expect?
Thanks as always
