Q: Hi Folks. Please give me your opinion on SCZ - Santacruz Silver Mining as a long term play on the price of silver. I'd like to establish a position while the stock is down due to $10.75MM raise. Can I assume the price will stay down until the deal closes??
Q: I'm helping my adult children (in their 20s) with their TFSA. I helped them invest in GWO 18 months ago, and GWO has done very well. Is it time to take the profit and reposition in a stock with more growth potential. And if so, what stocks would you recommend at this time?
Q: Hello Peter
Longrundata.com give a wonderful list of companies in the US that have increased dividends every year for 25 years or more. I have hunted and cannot find an equivalent list for Canadian stocks. Do you know where to look or maybe some of 5i readers may know.
Thankyou Paul
Q: Hello,
In the energy sector of my portfolio (12% weight), I hold CPG, FRU, KEY, TOU and VET. I'm considering adding BTE to the mix; on the + side, a great strategic acquisition (product and geography) and a nice yield while I wait; but on the - side, financing digestion issues.
Your thoughts?
Tony
Q: Hello 5i Team. I have just gone on my own with my RSP (now RIFF) with my 9 holdings. I want to switch some and buy more to get close to your Model Portfolio. Here is what I own and have owned for many years. BCE-11.25%, Enbridge-17.93%, Fortis-11.91%, Imperial Oil-13.52%, Manulife Financial-5.87%, Teck Res (TCK.B)-7.85%, TD-18.93%, UEX (bought at over $7.00 now .48cents)-.47%. Which if not all of the Model Portfolio would you suggest and what should I sell if any? I will keep UEX out of spite and when I'm old and grayer perhaps it will come back :)...you're the best and thank you ahead of time.
Q: I would like to buy T and SLF. Both charts look great, but both stocks are at 5 year highs. Are you comfortable with buying at these levels or would you wait for a pull back?
Q: Good Morning from Thailand,
Sorry, but the weather is just gorgeous here in Chiang Mai! I have holdings in PAAS (and PAA), PSLV, IAG, HMY (about 20% of portfolio). I'm winning on PAAS AND PAA but IAG AND HMY am on the losing side. I have read your previous comments on FR and SLW. I recently picked up some FR and do like SLW for its leverage on the price of silver. Would you recommend taking profits and buying SLW and/or more of FR to keep my 20% weighting? Furthermore would you recommend selling IAG and HMY and replacing them with something else? Thanks for your service and let me know if you would like weather updates.
Cheers,
Rick
thanks for the great service. I have a general question: is there a web site where I could see the intraday chart for a past date, lets say a year ago?

The Gold sector seems to be recovering. As I look at the charts for the companies, one seems to stand out as having had less impact during the fall from $1,900-odd to $1,200-odd. It has a small dividend and is participating in the recent rise. It is Franco-Nevada (FNV-T). Given that those companies that get beaten up the least during tuff times tend to be the leaders in a recovery, is this a company you would recommend ? Are there other that you favour more ?
