Q: I have 4% of my portfolio in Mastercard. After reporting, RBC has lowered it's target price but still holds it as a Top Pick. My other financial holding is SLF (2.5%).

Q: Hello 5i.
Pushed send on this question Jan 30. Resending.

Hello 5i
I have a couple oil investments(PSK/CPG) and have been using pipelines for Energy sector exposure.

As I have been watching the chatter on 5i about energy growth stocks and with today's pull back, I have been looking to enter positions of producers....possible VII(significant asset in the ground), TOU(after purchase from Shell), RRX(a 5i focus stock).

Would you please comment on preference from above or other from universe - related to search for growth from today's price , political situation and oil/gas price environment?

Peters and Co indicate expectation for $40 oil price going into summer. How would you balance this information in purchases today?

Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi 5i. I have 18% of my entire well balanced PFS in US stocks. I'm thinking this may be a good time to use 2 or 3% of my Canadian cash which is 8.5% of my PFS to buy US dollars to eventually buy another US stock. Do you concur? I am thinking our dollar is going to fall in the next 6 to 12 months but I await your ideas.
Thanks guys. I'm up 30 % since I joined in April 2014...

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Would you be OK with switching from TOU to TOG? I realize that TOU is more of a natural gas stock compared to TOG, but I'd like to collect a dividend while 'waiting', and TOG seems to have better prospects going forward. This switch would essentially maintain our O/G sector weighting.

Thanks as always for your insight.
