Q: Hi 5i,

In the last proxy & general meeting shareholders were to vote on a "blank cheque" policy for preferred shares I believe. I did not see results for the vote of this. Do you know what happened?

Would preferred shares dilute the value of the current common shares?
Are they for private investors or to be listed on the stock exchange?
Do you think this is a form of a "backup" or added plan to deleverage the company faster?
Would someone like BlackRock be interested in this type of investment as opposed to buying the whole company?

Thank you, Shane

Q: Altagas has dropped in last week. Did this occur because of Fort Mcmurray fire. What is the impact of the fire on Altagas company and its' holdings ? Do I need to be concerned ??

Did the fire affect any other companies (that I should be concerned about ?) (I think Great west life took a hit too ???)

thanks

Q: My technology companies are AAPL, AVO, CSU, ESL, OTC,PUR and TNC. Together they represent 18 percent of my portfolio. How would you suggest I go about adding SH or KXS? Should I just go overweight with technology or replace 1 or 2 or more. Or just stick with what I have and not fit these two additions. If you suggest only one of SH and KXS then could you please specify which one.
