Q: Good morning 5i, may I have your opinion on investing in SAN, Banco Santander, for income and growth after the Scottish referendum. How risky is it now compared to the times of the first two questions in 2012 and 2013. Is it too risky for a RRIF? Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I would like to get an update on Methanex (MX). It has risen significantly over the past few months, despite some maintenance issues at some of their plants. In previous commentary, you have mentioned this stock as "cheap". Is it still cheap and would you consider this a good place to buy?

Q: I held atd.b (Couche-Tard)since 2009 with significant gain but it is still within 5% of my portfolio as I have not added to it. I had a discussion with a Montreal Portfolio Manager about Couche-Tard today at a meeting. He told me 3 out of the 4 founders at Couche-Tard have or retiring from the company. While these folks have retired they have not sold their own shares yet. This mutual fund PM have existed their position in their fund and moved on to a similar U.S. company. Should I take some profit by reducing my position or exit my position? The security is held in my RRSP.

Q: Greetings Team 5i,
With it looking like an increase in interest rates coming soon, and understanding that insurance companies appreciate higher interest rates, I would like to add to my holdings in that sector. I realize you like Sun Life SLF and I'm thinking of taking a position but I'm also interested in Fairfax Financial FFH. I would appreciate your opinion of FFH and the wisdom of taking a position in it at this time.
As always, thanks for your guidance.

Q: I sold POT yesterday, made a decent profit and of course rec'd the dividends. I am wondering if I should deploy the capital to something you could suggest that has the safety with growth or should I wait until you offer your investment service. Do you expect that to be this month or a later time frame? Thanks again.

Q: Hello 5i team,
How do you explain the steady drop in share value despite a good quarterly report and a good order backlog that would suggest a good next quarter?
Greetings,

Q: Hi 5i,
I noticed on my statements this year that BIP.UN charges me a fee with each quarterly distribution. I suspect this must have something to do with the limited partnership structure but am puzzled why I would receive a distribution and get charged a fee simultaneously. As an investor who tries to minimize fees, your input is much appreciated.
Best wishes,
