Q: Hello 5i Team. My understanding is that there are 2 significant issues here. US tariffs, and recent miss on performance. I've just recently started managing my own rsp, I'm finding mg to be the toughest decision I've had to make so far. I read that the stock could drop by as much as 30% if the tariffs go through. I've read mostly positive feedback from 5i on MG. Can you help quantify the risk over the next 2 months to a year?
Thanks

Q: Hello. One ENF share is being offered as 0.729 of an Enbridge share (ENB today at $47.12). ENF price should be 0.7029 x$47.12=$33.12 as to the agreement. ENF is now $33.95. Why is ENF trading so much higher than the conversion rate (2.5% higher)? Is there a reason behind it? Is it because ENF has a higher monthly dividend? Also do you have an idea of the exact date ENF will be converted into ENB shares? Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i team,

My dad is almost retired with a +/- 5 year timeline of when he will need a majority of his savings. I feel he should move it out of a bank account that earns him 0.07% and into an ETF or into some blue chips stocks. Can you recommend some ETF's or blue chip stocks for his timeline?

Thanks.

Q: I had just recently bought this company in my TFSA prior to the 2nd quarter earnings report, and the stock has dropped over 25% since my initial purchase. It would seem that 5i still likes the company do you consider the market reaction overblown, would you consider averaging down with this company or would you hold the position for the longer term.
Thanks Tom

Q: Been listening to the talk of Shell building a Liquid Natural Gas plant on the west coast. What is your take on the possibility of this happening? What impact could this have on the companies Ive listed? Which company do you prefer? Are there other investments we as 5i members should be considering based on this possibility? Any other ways this possibility could impact Canadians?
Thanks as always for your opinion.
