Q: Leaving other factors aside (eg taxes etc), within a well diversified portfolio would you be ok with selling CIX and TECK.b in favour of buying WCN and DOL? Basically I am asking if you think these latter two (at current valuations) might outperform the former in what I expect to be a somewhat moderate to deep recession? Thanks!

Q: Gold has been out of flavour during these inflationary times. Some say it’s because of Btc/Eth others say it’s because of rising rates etc.. there seems to be many conflicting factors. All of which are not clear. Can you give your take on gold and provide you 3 fave mid and small cap names. Thx.

Q: Often investors have different time frames and so called short medium and long term come a bit confusing depending on who you talk to. For speculators short term could be as short as a fraction of a day (day traders) for others long term investors are for 10 years and beyond. How about clarifying what for 5I is short, medium and long term (ballpark).

Thank you

Q: I read in the Globe and Mail that certain banks are blocking their advisers from buying the HISA ETFs, placing them on “restricted lists” usually reserved for risky, volatile investments.
I take it HISA is referring to Evolve High Interest Savings Account Ticker: HISA  and trades on NEO exchange. At this moment, I have a chunk of cash that I would like to park and earn interest but am uncertain when I will need it.....say 3 to 6 months timeframe.
What is your take on HISA? Or is there some other such account that you would suggest I investigate.
Bottom line, I could also use a GIC at the bank, right?! 
With the timeline being short, what would you suggest I lean towards?........Thanks.....Tom

Q: Hi 5i,

I understand that there are some well known Fear and Greed and Trend Indicators/Indexes available from CNN and Bloomberg. I was able to find the CNN Fear and Greed web site but, could not find the Bloomberg Fear and Greed and Trend Indicator. Is this available free to the public? If so, could kindly tell me where I can find it on the internet.

thanks

Q: Hi, How would you rate these companies for Utility/Renewable Power sector ? Northland Power has received a lot of attention recently from investors and analyst community and stock has made a good move. Do you rate this company as an attractive investment in this sector ? Will NPI be a good complement to add to an investment portfolio, with FTS and AQN already owned ? If so, what would be a decent entry level ? Thanks

Q: AT continues to struggle with their share price. My position is now down to 1%.
Interesting is that if I didn't hold it at a loss, I would consider starting a 1% position.
I heard somewhere it said " if you didn't own it, would you buy it" and if the answere was no then yes you should sell it.
So I think I will hold this one and "ride it out."
Question is - is my thinking Ok?
Thanks
John

Q: Hi, Could you please compare the two companies with respect to nature of their business, safety, income and growth prospects. I know, Enbridge also has a utility like natural gas delivery business to residential/businesses, not sure of TRP. Could you also comment on their historical stock performance, relative to each other. Do you think one is better than the other? We own ENB for many years and are considering to add TRP to our portfolio for income and growth, for 10-20 years. Thank You
