Q: Hi I am 40 years old. I currently pay into a pension and am scheduled to retire in 2040. I have mostly been growth focused throughout my entire portfolio and am wondering when I should begin to consider a more balanced style. Ie income vs growth. Just to limit any risks. Thanks for any advice

Q: New deal--$37 cash or new share per previous emails.When is the expected closing?What do U recommend? Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: On the last quarter conference call there was a review of the earnings and potential growth in earnings per share in the future. With the organic growth and potential margin improvement from cost cutting, earnout payments dropping in future years, spin out of Provider Solutions and the potential monetization of Circle/Wisp (assuming the money spent on debt reduction and share buybacks). I expect that the earnings should improve significantly in the next two or three years. All of this ignores any acquisitions. If all this happens I figure all is needed is some patience and we should see higher stock price 3 years out perhaps significantly agree?

Q: Dear Peter et al:

This is a general and "conceptual" question and I believe this may apply to many of the "grandparents" who are subscribers of 5i.

We would like to give some money to help our grand kids. We contribute for RESPs.

Reading the literature, it seems one can set up an "in kind Trust" that can grow seamlessly till they reach 18 years old and it can be rolled over to them and as their income is still low, the taxes are low.
(I am paraphrasing the articles here.)

However, recently I was told that taking a Permanent Insurance for kids (Universal or Participating Whole Life?) is another option one may want to consider. As the grandchildren are still young , the premiums are low ..and it gives them not only life insurance(a dreadful thought) but gives them the ability to cash in their policy for an attractive lump sum amount that can be used for their education (post secondary) or whatever they wish to do. I have never heard or read about this option before and wonder if you have any opinions. If you can forward some articles comparing these two strategies, In trust account VS Permanent Life policy, I would appreciate it.

BTW, I have reviewed the articles by Colin Ritchie in Canadian Money Saver. But this specific comparison isn't there. Colin's articles are more for adults who may be interested in Estate planning or augmenting retirement income etc.,

Thank you.

Q: Hello,

IMO the strike/lockout seems to be priced in and news about deadlines seem to be noise rather than anything substantive.

Given the potential impact of this on Canada business, in your opinion what are the critical incidents that would trigger a decline or spike - duration of either strike/lockout, back to work legislation. There really is no other viable alternative to rail so the country is over a barrel.

Thank you

Q: Can you provide your comments on Quorum latest qtr. Also do you think it is fairly valued now?

Q: Is the dividend on Nutrien safe?

Q: Both SMCI and VRT have dropped significantly over the past 3 months. Do you see that one has stronger turn around potential than the other, and and if you were buying, which would you buy, or would you split the position between both. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
What is your opinion of the sale and should one continue to hold NEO ?
And do you have further thought on TOI?
Also if you sell in a margin account can you buy back in a TFSA (if cash) without waiting 30 days?

Q: Hello,
I am going to finally bail on AQN, which has dropped to around a 1% position; my other "utilities" are BEP.UN at 4.5% and BIP.UN at 5.8%.
The easies thing to do is to split the proceeds between the Brookfields.
Do you see an issue wit that concentration, or should I consider starting a new position on something like FTS or H for the sector?
Thanks as always.

Q: this company has large market position but not profitable and while management talks about future things are not good. i am under water 50% and think i should move on . your thoughts
