Q: Peter, Lana & Co.

Based on previous 5i comments, I am about to rebalance my Health Care sector to 10% @ 2% KBL, 2% PLB, 2% VRX, 2% MRK and 2% BMY. I want growth (30 year old risk on investor) and a bit of US exposure. Do you like this breakdown, or would you sub out 1 of the names for something else / growthier?

Thanks, as always.

Q: Hi, waking up to this $77 offer for Paladin but it sounds complicated with stock offer in new combined entity. Is this more a merger than an acquisition? What do you suggest small retail investors do in this case with PLB share??? Paladin was a core holding for me and there is not a lot of replacements in the space... If move one, would you go up to Valeant or down to Cipher? If keep share, why? Thanks a lot!

Q: Hi, in response to Alayne, the symbol is CVD.

Also, Ag Growth International is dropping lately. I am expecting very good Q3 numbers due to the strong crop yields this fall. Do you agree with this hypothesis?

Q: 5i Team,

Can you provide a couple of your favourite consumer cylical names please? I own autocanada and magna but have more cash to deploy in order to get to my 10% sector target. I would prefer a couple of US names... perhaps a large cap and small cap for balance. As always, your opinion is GREATLY appreciated.

THANK YOU.

Q: I have a question about Wi-Lan Inc. The price closed at $3.46 today and an exit would seem in order. Is it best to cash out now or wait and see if further developments give a little boost to the price.

Q: I have been advised to safeguard my recent portfolio increases, which have been substantial, by selling shares equal to my profits, leaving only my original investment amounts. While an attractive idea, I am a dividend drip investor and removing the profits will reduce the "multiplier" effect they should have in a bull market. What would you advise?
David
PS: And of course keep up the good work!

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Wanted to ask you about Urthecast (UR) and whether the commercial potential is similar to MDA's Radarsat. I realize it is still high risk as its camera's with streaming HD Video of earth are not deployed yet, but wanted to see if you and your team have looked at the commercial potential on this one.
