Q: Hi 5i,
I’ve owned SFL for years, since shortly after I first became aware of it via some early 5i comments. The holding is under water and has been for much of the time I’ve owned it, though the amount it is down has been more than offset by the generous dividend payments received. It has always been priced as though its dividend was in significant jeopardy but the dividend has actually been increased more than once while I have held it. What do you think of its prospects these days? I don’t have any other marine shipping exposure. I can’t help noting that the short interest is listed by my online broker as about 16% of the “float”. Is it time to abandon ship? Thanks!

Q: Dear 5i
My current financial adviser has me in a large position of a global bond etf. I can`t continue with this etf when i switch toQuestrade as it is not tradeable there .
The question is should i continue to remain in global bonds and if so what would you suggest in terms of an etf or should i just stick with North American bond etf`s?
Thanks
Bill C.

Q: Hi 5i,

Love your service.

Generally the Q&A answer my questions to my satisfaction.

I have about an 8% holding of EIF in my TSFA and a long term holding horizon. I have held it for a long time and it has been good to me. Given the current pullback and "short" concerns, I am thinking of reducing my risk by selling 1/2 position. Is this something you would recommend, or would you be in the "ride it out" category.

Thanks !
