Q: Hi Peter and Team,

This is a political/economics question. What are the chances of the new pipeline being built? As I understand, no company has expressed real interest yet. I also read that Enbridge has excess capacity, and that they're willing to utilize it.

In any event, is there anyone who, in the short term, will benefit from this uncertainty?

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: hello 5i
your analytics say that i need to increase my holdings in basic materials and the utilities sectors. I have avoided these in the past because I wanted to avoid dividends, favouring capital gains instead. but i am wondering whether i should top up a bit here and how to go about it.
can you advise me on whether i would be wiser to buy a handful of individual stocks rather than an etf for conservative| sectors like this/ if so, how many stocks would i need and can you suggest a few of the best
thanks

Q: I have the following in the industrial sector of my total portfolio.:
AXON = 1.1%, CAE = 0.9%, HPS.A = 1.9%, ZDC = 0.4%, VRT = 3.4%, WSP = 5.2%, CWW (etf) = 3.1%
Am ok with the VRT, WSP, CWW levels. I have new money to add to some or all of the smaller % holdings. Can you weigh in on what your approach would be, including selling any or buying something else . Thanks as always for your knowledgeable, experienced and measured assessment.

Q: I am a 70 year-old value investor that is reluctant to invest further in what I believe is an over-valued market. Our new portfolio manager is recommending "Index deposit notes" offered by major Canadian banks. Can you please tell me more about these market-linked term deposits? I would prefer to wait for a market correction and then invest in equities, but the portfolio manager feels the market could continue to rise over the next few years. I am of the opinion we are looking at a significant recession in 2026.
Thanks!

Q: Similar to how you don't like giving price targets, isn't having a "starter" position a similar sin? Like how lump sum is better than DCA, wouldn't it makes sense to just go all in (to the goal % of portfolio you'd like to have).

Q: I see you have removed FSV from your recommended list - if one wanted growth and small dividend would you replace with BYD? Are they both play on the consumer across North America? Does one have a more reliable rev model?

Q: Further to my last question about Tether, the Financial Times is also reporting the following:

Crypto-hoarding companies are ditching their holdings in a bid to prop up their sinking share prices, as the craze for “digital asset treasury” businesses unravels in the face of a $1tn cryptocurrency rout.

Can you please provide some context around what’s going on in the crypto space lately and any thoughts about where it goes to from here?

Many thanks.

Michael

Q: What are your thoughts on the recent S&P Global Ratings downgrade on Tether? As reported in the Financial Times:

The rating agency warned that the company has “limited transparency on reserve management and risk appetite, lack of a robust regulatory framework [and] no asset segregation to protect against the issuer’s insolvency”.

Thank you.

Michael
