Q: hllo peter, just a general question.... I have quite a bit of cash to spend... should I wait until after the summer, as in general markets go down.... or should I spend it now on a down day.... what would you buy for dividends as part of a core holding, and is this the time to buy them?

Q: Peter, if you've answered this question previously, please don't post this. I have never put in stop loss sells and have never reacted market news or unfavourable market conditions, even 2008 except perhaps for buying. My belief is that the companies I own are sound and if sentiment or global conditions hick-up and equities tumble prices will come back. What are your thoughts on putting in automatic sell orders when prices drop a certain amount within a single day?

Q: SCS (Second Wave Petroleum):

Further to the Brookfield going private offer.
When OSB market was in distress a few years back Brookfield took control of NorBord and Answorth. NBD and ANS continued as public companies and all shareholders eventually benefitted. The SCS going private transaction (requiring a majority of the disinterested shareholders) appears to be nasty situation for the minority shareholders. What are your views on this aspect?

Q: Peter,

You have talked about CXS in the last few comments but have not provided any recommendation to hold, sell or buy. At this level is it a good buy for a two year time frame. Could this be a multi-bagger stock. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team. Greatly appreciate the terrific info I get from your site.
Hear many opinions on when interest rates will rise and the impact this will have on different types of investments. I would appreciate your views on this, specicially how higher interest rates (whenever this occurs) will impact stocks, bonds and preferred shares.
I have recently been using funds from maturing GICs to purchase yield-producing ETFs, primarily in bonds and preferreds (CLF, CBO, CPD, XPR, XHY). Plan to continue doing this while GIC rates are so low, though will retain a sizeable portion of overall investments in GICs for safety.
Thanks. Tom

Q: Energy is 18% of our portfolio (600G), with full shares in HSE,BTE and CPG for the dividend, and 1/2 shares in CVE and KEY for growth. We do depend on dividends for half of our income. Do you think this is a reasonable apportionment?

Q: I just read an article were the analyst was concerned about high margin levels. It got me thinking about the 5i investment philosophy. Do you ever consider factors like this or where we are in the business cycle, or investor sentiment, or is that all just noise.Are the fundamentals of the company and its growth prospects the main determinant for you?
Mike
