Q: I have some money to invest in the market, but everywhere I look the stocks have been up going up for so many months now that I'm worried about a pull back, perhaps even a significant one at this point in time.

5i, in your collective research, how likely is this going to happen over the next year or so?

Q: Hey Guys,
I am curious as to your opinion on whether EGL.UN is worth the buy. I got it pre IPO and sold it at a decent profit while enjoying the distributions. Now that it has taken a bath in price and still paying out, is it worth considering?

I am a huge fan of payments are there any other companies, or funds that I could consider?

Thanks very much.

Q: Good Day 5i. Some weeks ago after viewing your suggestion that a reasonable equity portfolio might consist of 20 stocks, each representing about 5% of the total, I set mine up in that way. SU was one of the stocks I already held and still do, but I am concerned that it will take a few years before it shows much gain. I am thinking of selling SU and replacing it in my portfolio with PEY. The current prices and yield for each of these are about the same, and I think the upside with PEY will occur much faster. What do you think, or are there better liquids rich gas options that PEY? Brian

Q: Hi
As I enjoy the ride with a couple of your winners I am wondering if BAD, SYZ and STN will raise dividends earlier to keep pace with their share price increases. Is BAD still an acquisition target?
ps I also subscribed to money sense with the 5i renewal discount and have not been able to get into it or receive a copy of the magazine. I am not sure if I needed to pay more to get a hard copy of the magazine? I real enjoy how easy it is to get on to 5i site from my computer or bb. I appreciate it if money sense could achieve the same level of access. Thank you for your excellent service. mike

Q: BDT was chosen for my wife's RRSP due to its status as a "dividend aristocrat", but its performance lately has been less than stellar, and it now shows a small loss even with the "dripped" dividends. Would you suggest a switch to STN at this time? Her RRSP holds several stocks and ETF's with the following weightings:

BDT - 5.5%
CJR.B - 17%
CBO - 14.6%
CHB - 5.6%
CUD - 25.4%
CDZ - 32%

This portfolio was assembled with no input from 5i and we wish that we were members when it was.

Any advice re BDT and portfolio re-balancing would be most helpful.

Q: Hi,

What is your opinion on stock picking vs ETF investing. How many ETF's should one hold in a portfolio of say $100k. What would your ETF recommendations be for such a portfolio as there are so many of them out there and it is difficult to choose one from the other.

Q: Hello team - As you know, Badger Daylighting has done very well. It's value has become a larger percentage of my portfolio than what I had planned for. I am considering selling a portion and pay the capital gain. If the stock were to drop significantly for whatever reason, can one buy back the stock within 30 days? I'm assuming that a rule does not exist as the 30 day taxable loss rule. This is a taxable account.
Thanks.
Jim
