Q: You’ve picked and stuck with some real winners in the past. You were upbeat on nividia well before it jumped in price as an example! Do you think BN will be a longer term winner? You likely address this in a prior question (in which case please feel free to direct me to your answer), but I am wondering if can briefly give me your top reasons why one may want to buy and hold BN. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

Total return, long term investor with a diversified portfolio. I have a tiny position in BAM that I either want to add to or sell. If I sell, I could put the proceeds into BN.

Does it make sense to consolidate into BN or to build a bigger position in BAM? Which is likely to have the best total return over the next few years?

Thank you, Michael

Q: "Green" energy comprises only small part of total energy needs. It stands & falls with government (taxpayer's) subsidies, which are here today and (possibly) gone tomorrow.
Infrastructure needs, on the other hand, will only grow. I'd appreciate your take on this.
Also, would you say that one is "better" than the other on fundamentals?
thanks jerry

Q: Dear 5i
I currently own TD and RY for my financial positions . I was considering buying SLF as an alternative to banks but still considered within the financial sector . Is it worth the diversification or should i just add to my existing bank stocks that i own ?
Also i've recently added HISA and PSA to my portfolio which would probably not be for a long term hold but until interest rates decline considerably from where they are today . My question is, is it possible to have too much cash parked in these type of accounts that should interest rates decline noticeably and quickly , that there would be a liquidity problem ie getting my cash out , should a lot of investors decide at the same time to liquidate their holdings in these type of accounts ?
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter
Any idea why Nu Bank holdings is surging as compared to NVEI, LSPD, PYPL etc. Is it because Warren Buffet owns shares in the company? Is it worth starting a position?

Q: Hi 5i
Not sure if I have my facts straight on this questions, but, I Recently read that BMO is shopping/selling their portfolio of RV loans, which I think they inherited with the bank of the west deal....and that this is another red flag concerning underlying BMO profitability and negatively affecting share price., ect, ect....Is there any truth to this and in your opinion actually an additional red flag that investors need to pay additional attention to. If so how would this deal work and to what degree would you be concerned?
thx

Q: Hello 5i,
Now that interest rates have increased wouldn't you expect the likes of SLF and MFC etc to benefit sufficiently to tilt them towards improved momentum? Lots to worry about out there - is it just tunnel vision - the "fear" and worry being more prominent than fundamentals at the moment ?
Thank you
