Q: Hi 5i,

Do you know of any companies or ETFs which invest in national or (preferably) global infrastructure -- roads, airports, electricity and water networks, etc.? I'm already aware of Brookfield (BEP,BIP,BPY) and would like to know if there any other companies/ETFs which you think merit consideration in this sector. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I would like your take on 3 US stocks held in a diversified US big cap growth equity portfolio. I am thinking of transferring out of these 3 because of the change in the last year of the likely overall growth, globally, at least from by point of view, and the resulting lower demand for these companies products. The stocks are CAT-N (construction machinery), and CMI-N and DCI-N, both diversified machinery...... Guess it is about a change in portfolio mix, eh?!....Thanks
