Q: Hello 5i team
I am down 72% on ALA in my RSP and. 54% down on VET in my RSP
My ALA is a huge position and my loss is over 10,000 . My RSP strategy was “buy and hold” , and I was previously murdered in oils in 2014. I am 69 years old and won’t really rely on my RiF but it really bothers me to take such a loss that can’t be declared. They both pay dividends , but can one expect that they will ever turn around ? I could use a suggestion ... the last time I looked at my RSP I was so ashamed that I bought Shopify as a crap shoot ... turned out to be a good move. Thank you

Q: Please comment on PPL's announcement pertaining to the building of a new petrochemical plant. In December 2017 IPL announced a similar project and since then the share price of IPL has noticeably under performed their Canadian pipeline peers. How different is PPL's project from IPL? Do you know much about their Kuwait based partner? How will this impact the PPL balance sheet? Do you expect they will need to issue more shares to finance this project? PPL is one of my largest holdings and I invest in it because they have shown to have good management and have the steady cash flow from the pipeline businesses. Does this transaction change that thesis in any way? The project feels like an unnecessary bet and all of a sudden a riskier holding for a conservative income investor.
Thanks
Rob

Q: I sold ARX for a tax loss in late Dec, and put the funds in SIS.
30 days later, part of me wants to buy the ARX back because it was a stable company with a good balance sheet, and because I took the loss.
I look to 5D for sober thought: is ARX a good buy at this price, or should I just count my losses and not double down?
