Q: In my son's RESP we hold AW.UN , ATD.B , BEP.UN , BNS , L , and PBH and all have done well ( thank you 5i ) . We were thinking of cashing out Alimentation to pay this year's tuition fees , but we are not sure if that would be the best move .
Which baby should we sacrifice ?
Q: hello 5i:
could you please comment on the debenture issued today by Algonquin? Good investment on the income side of a portfolio? Do you have a "favorite" or favorites in this space, as you do with stocks?
eg. you have said PBH is one of your "favorite" stocks.

Q: What would your Top 3 dividend companies with growth be. Keep in mind I plan to initiate a full position in each company. I have a diverse portfolio so sectors do not matter. I also have a moderate appetite for risk.
Q: i am concerned that owning pipes and parkland (which I do, for income) is going against growing headwinds, and there is a growing international trend toward cleaner energy, renewable energy, etc. I don't think I need dump all of these now, but at some point, don't you think we should be lightening up. Or is it such a longterm issue I need not worry about it. i want to be ahead of the curve.
If you agree, then what would you recommend instead for income, in the areas of clean energy and renewables?
I am looking to add more income to my portfolio. Currently own XCB and VSB and some cash that I want to deploy into another ETF. Which income etf's would you recommend to add or would you simply add to the existing holdings?
Can you provide your opinion on this close ended fund. Based on the investments within the fund I can't wrap my head around how they get the +8% yield. It appears they use some leverage and possibly part of the yield is return of capital but even if that is correct it seems high. I currently own XTR and it has met my objective of steady income. If you think this will perform similarly I'd be happy. Will invest in this inside an RRSP. Thanks
Q: Hi 5i, I’m trying to understand the price setting dynamics when expressions of interest are sought for an IPO and a price range is indicated instead of a fixed price. E.g. the current Freshii offering indicates a price in the range of $8.50-10.00. What determines the actual price? Why wouldn’t the company and the bankers just pick the top end every time if that is in their best interest? Thanks!
Q: Just curious. There is an alzheimer drug that has been found to repair and rebuild teeth is called "Tideglusib" and it is mfg by a pharma co. called "Zeltia Group" but, they are on the Spanish Madrid exchange symbol "ZEL" with a quote of 4.045 ?.
The question is; how does one buy and sell on these smaller exchanges, how does the currency aspects work and what are the tax implications etc?
Thank you
