Q: I would like your opinion on Tesoro specifically, though more generally on the sector. My overall thesis is that these fuel refiners and marketers are being unfairly lumped into the oil sector in general and that overall there is little reason to think that they should suffer from lower oil prices. Do you agree or am I missing something? Thanks very much.

Q: Happy New Year Team 5i. I have no Canadian or US healthcare. I am well diversified with both of your PFs. I do not have any US dollars or direct US equities (only those within your PFs which have US exposure) I am interested in XLV but what would be the best way to purchase? Should I open a US account and buy enough US dollars to purchase XLV and hold within that account or should I just purchase within my TFSA (or RRIF) with my Canadian $. I'm quite naïve about US purchases as you can see. Thank you for all you are doing. It gets easier and better because of all of you!

Q: I am looking for a long term US growth company for my 11 year old son's RESP - I completely agree with your recent assessment of Google but it is at a 52 week low - why is it under pressure? Other US names I am considering are Blackstone, KKR and Lazard. Can you rate them regarding safety and dividend potential?
Thanks.
