Read Answer Asked by Graham on January 15, 2014
Q: I am up substantially on RPI.UN and it is becoming a bigger position in my portfolio than you probably would advocate (pushing 12%). On the other hand, it seems to have broken above a fairly long term resistance level of about $10. Any thoughts about the outlook for the stock would be appreciated as would be your thoughts on when to pull the trigger in such cases.

Q: My question is regarding ITP-Intertape Polymer. It has a gain 0f 43% over the past year. However,it is now down 26% from its high two months ago, and trading at values last recorded about five months ago. On Nov. 19/13 you thought the decline of 13% was likely due to profit taking.I have not been able to find any reason for the stocks decline. I spoke to the company and its next reporting date is around Mar.7/14.
My question is if I should accept my loss of 23% now and move on, or wait until after the next results and see what they are and then decide what to do. I am looking for growth over the next 12 to 18 months
Thank you for this excellent service and I am looking forward to your reply. Ian.

Q: Peter & 5i Team : Any recommendations for a good portfolio management system (free or not) ? I find that I am spending a lot of time trying to sort out sector weightings, dividends, etc. for multiple portfolios (x 2 people). I would love to find something more useful and comprehensive than what is currently available through my discount broker.

Q: Hi 5i team and fellow members. With respect to Holly's question on shorting the US dollar...FXC is likely the cleanest way and my preferred method. It also has options available if you can not sell short the ETF in your account. There are occasional liquidity issues and wide bid/ask spreads, however. There is also a US dollar currency option on the Montreal exchange (http://www.m-x.ca/nego_cotes_en.php?symbol=USX*). This is tradable in my RRSP through TD Waterhouse so should be available through other brokerages.

Q: Hi 5i,

I know you've commented on DHX quite a bit recently, but my question pertains more to whether you would be a buyer at today's price? Valuation suggest it remains a tad expensive, but the company is expectected to keep growing aggressively. My question is - would you be a buyer of DHX at current levels? Do you view DHX as a takeout canadidate? Would you prefer Sylogist to DHX as a small cap tech play?

Q: Hi 5i

Can I get your opinion on VCM?

They paid a special dividend and it looks like they have lots of cash and higher margins. Is it a good buy at $5.76?

Thank you
