Q: Hello 5i Team, I am down signifigantly in each of these 6 holdings. I'm prepared to hold for the next few quarters if any will make turnarounds in 2017. I'd appreciate your opinion. All are in a non registered account.
Thanks

Q: I just received news that the agreement between Glencore and NIF.UN will be renewed for another five years. However, "With the renewal of the Supply and Processing Agreement, the main challenge now facing the Fund will be to continue to operate its Processing Facility at a profit once market terms take effect May 3, 2017. The Fund’s Board of Trustees is mindful of the expected negative impact that the transition to market term pricing will have on the Fund’s operations, including its ability to sustain its distribution policy. The Board of Trustees is carefully reviewing the Fund’s reserves and will augment the reserves if necessary." Whatis your view on NIF.UN?

Q: FAR has been showing some improvement over the past year. Earnings are improving (though still negative), P/B, P/S and P/CF look good, and debt seems manageable (~50%), although margins and ROA, ROE, ROI etc. are still terrible. It is only covered by one analyst, but the rating is Strong Buy. I bought speculatively when there was some minor insider buying and am currently showing a small profit. I'm debating whether to continue holding should a mining / energy sector rise float this boat. Thoughts?

Q: I am looking to build a future income stream from a portfolio of 5-6 names that can be held for many years (decades) that will show sustainability and dividend growth. I am patient and would add to the names consistently for the next 20 years. If you had to pick 6 "forever" stocks that you could rely on, what would they be? (utilizing Buffett's theory of best time horizon for owning a stock is forever). I don't ever want to worry about a dividend cut and am comfortable holding through periods of extreme volatility as long as I know I am getting paid. Thanks in advance! (PS I am aware this could mean no exposure to commodity stocks)
