Q: Hello 5i,

Can you explain where money flows too during risk-off periods such as 2007-2009 and 2022. With the risk of no declines in the Fed rate this year what would the 2025 scenario look like for equities? Other than shorts, are there sectors that can flourish in a 2007-2009 and 2022 scenario?

At which point is it favourable to look at short-term and 5-10 year Treasuries?

Thank you for your service.

Q: Hi Peter…would you be buying safe jurisdiction gold miners now? The price of the metal, to my layman’s eye, is acting a little more bipolar now. Last Thursday or Friday all my stocks except for TD, AEM, WGX and GOT were down suggesting a level of panic. Today the golds are down suggesting fear of inflation ticking up triggering higher interest rates. Thinking of selling my WGX to buy AGI because it seems a better miner. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: So I’m sitting here day dreaming about SOBO. I understand Keystone XL is now their “ asset “ and wondering about possible scenarios under Trump. If he again OK’s it , would the stock move and in what direction, will it get built, is it still needed , would it be doable for this size company , etc ? Needing to add to my list of high dividend stocks, SOBO interests me and wonder what this sizeable project would have on the stock. Thanks.Derek

Q: Dear 5i team.

Ref. my Q of Nov 4,24 re: Long bonds.
As a followup, at the time, the US 10 yr was 4.3%. It appears to now have broken the 5% mark, and possibly heading higher. I've read in the past to keep an eye on the 10yr bond as a "canary in the coal mine" scenerio.
Can you update your views on this please, with more commentary re: the elasticity of the 10 yr and how this could impact equity/bond markets? Any possible moves DIY investors should be considering as a result of your commentary?

Many thanks for your help understanding this relationship.

Q: Can I have your thoughts in putting some TFSA money into MKP, for a couple years, thinking it might be a place to invest while the world figures out where things are going. It pays good dividends, and lower interest rates, with increased construction, should provide some stability. Or, please suggest an alternative idea. Thank you
