Q: Does ALA still own 37% of ACI? If so, I would it would appear that ALA will do quite well on today's announced sale of ACI - your comments are much appreciated re: ALA exceeding current years sales target and debt position after the sale. Thank you.

Q: I own all three of these Brookfield companies BAM.A, BIP, and BEP at 1.23%, 0.86% and 1.08% weightings respectively (total 3.18%). I am a long term growth investor. From previous questions, I think it's okay to own all three correct and there is not much overlap. If I were to maintain a 4-5% weighting total in these companies, how would you weight each for maximum capital appreciation? Thanks!

Q: Hi, would like your opinion on psi going forward.
Is it a service company only for oil and gas,or is it also diversified to other sectors? How about debt and management?
Would this be a good tax loss candidate as I’am down 35%, then buy back, or would you stay out of the sector. I also have Vermillion ,WCP, SPB at 5-6% of portfolio
Thanks

Q: Looking through their report today, their share count is up by about 800,000 units (5% or so) this year, compared to last year. am I missing something? I thought the recent offering they did was of shares already owned by the parent? bit of a goofy question but the DCPU would've been positive for the quarter if the share count was closer, no?

Q: Good Evening,

I bought Cameco stocks over 5 years ago. At the time, I thought it was a good 'bet' because historically Cameco had reached a high of around $60 per share. I bought in at $22. Despite the passage of time, this stock has stayed around the $10-$12 range. I will admit, this stock was an impulse buy. It was one of those stories where I heard a friend say something and I went ahead and purchased it without doing the proper research. I have elected to hold it because I figure I'm still getting the dividends and I will only lose money if I sell. I am wondering what 5i thinks about holding this stock. Do I hold, or cut my losses and reinvest this money into something else?

Q: Hello, I currently own RCI.b. As part of portfolio renovations suggested by your service, I am underweight US. A switch from RCI to VZ would help , would you support this move? Any other US based companies or etf's in communication that would be better?
Thanks

Q: I saw this news release and would be grateful for an interpretation.

If shares are only offered to the public, I suppose that includes institutional investors? Also, I'd be interested to know how the market works in this situation. ie, if supply of shares exceeds demand, will the price keep dropping until they're all sold? It is about 4.6% of their market cap.
I would like to purchase shares and would appreciate guidance on when you would suggest this could be done.
Many thanks.
ps. I very much appreciated your frank article 2 days ago on the financialpost.com

Q: What are your thoughts on Nutrien? I have seen it recently recommended by a few as an entry point for a recovery with a dividend. I have never invested in this company but have thought about it and have always been happy I did not invest in it as it has dissapointed.
