Can you comment on it as an investment grade security at this time? It is starting to look attractive from a technical perspective as well. Thank you

Q: I've been a very satisfied customer of 5i since your early years, I've been introduced to many great investments, learned portfolio management skills that have made a much better investor. The area I am weakest in is a sell strategy, and I'd guess I'm not alone by reading your question section daily. Currently holding the above 3 companies with between 20 and 45% losses. What would your current thought on each be and perhaps a short overall sell strategy. Of course, deduct credits as you see fit.

Q: Hello,

I currently own SRU.UN (SmartCentres REIT). I like the dividend but I am interested in capital growth as well.

Do you recommend keeping SRU.UN or to switch to CHR (Chorus Aviation) or EFN (Element Fleet Management) ?

Or, do you have a better recommendation for a stock which has has a good income, dividend growth and capital growth?

I have over a 5 year time horizon.

Thank you as always for the financial insights.

Q: Hello Peter,
What do you think about the joint venture between Hydropothecary and Molson's? Does this put Hydropothecary in the same category with Canopy (with Constellation equity) in terms of market perception? Aphria's results look fine, but why is the stock down? Is Brookfield Infrastructure a good buy given its takeover over of Enercare? Also, i noticed from BNN guests who are considered value investors that all of them had vary different views on Enercare from dont buy to hold to top pick. Can you shed some light as to why the views are so different given they all look at fundamentals? Lastly, what is happening with Grande West. It goes up and than back down again. Thanks.

Q: West Fraser Timer and Interfor have both been highly volatile for some time, presumably due to tariff fears. I was not concerned with the declines as long as they recovered. However, both have now plunged significantly and are not showing signs of bouncing back. Is there anything to be overly concerned about here?
