Q: Hello Peter and 5i team
Would you please explain the pros and cons of converting Cdn dollars to US dollars. I recently had two bonds called and am undecided where to put it. I believe the US dollar will strengthen form here and would just sit on the cash.
Thanks for your help. New site features are great.

Q: Hi 5 I team
I presently have BPY.UN and thinking of selling it for its poorer performance and
replacing it with BIP.UN or WSP Global. Could I get your opinion on these two or others that you might suggest. Thanks Maurice

Q: Hi 5i Team

I'm interested in reviewing the dividend history of Canadian pipelines, utilities, reits and other income stocks over the long run, namely through recessions and interest rate movements (the tagged companies are representative). I'm trying to determine if the dividends remain fairly stable or tend to fall under these circumstances.
Can you suggest a source that would help by showing dividends for a company over the long run? Ideally, overlaying short/long term interest rates to save time.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Peter

Q: Auto Industry
Supposedly a good time to invest in the auto industry is when the economy is coming out of recession and interest rates are low: at time when people haven't been buying cars, but soon will. (Which sounds like where we are now, right ??)

But a lot of financial commentators are saying that it is "too late in the cycle" to invest in autos. Is there in fact a "cycle" or is this phrasing just another way of saying "car sales are slow right now" ?

When do you think auto sales will pick up ?

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Here's a different question guys: I am helping a good friend with his investing. He is a hard core hockey aficionado and wonders if there is any publically-traded company that he can purchase that is related to the game he loves. He already has some Rogers shares. I am stumped. Got anything? Leafs preferred but ultimately doesn't matter.

Thanks!

Kim
