Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Am thinking of increasing my Energy Sector. Already have SU & ARX and considering adding CNQ or VET. What would be your choice here and how would that (or any other you would prefer) compare with SU & ARX? Looking at the next 1 to 2 yrs only. Of course I understand you may say 'don't increase'. Always look forward to your answers. Thks guys

Q: Hi 5i team!! I am at a conference in Arizona, and just the feeling I get polling my colleagues, all of whom are academics, the general consensus is that Trump will be the next US president. Hillary is not a favorite because of allegedly crooked behaviour which I was unaware of. The way I look at it, neither one, Trump or Clinton are a good choice but that's a moot point. So, to my question...what do you suggest.. If the Donald gets in ...should we sit tight on your suggested portfolios or sell certain stocks, or sell everything and head for the hills ? Which stocks will do poorly and which ones may do well? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hi Folks, have been wanting to put some of my investments into US funds.
Recently read an article by John Heinzel in the Globe and Mail stating that the best way to invest in US funds is through an RRSP or RRIF which seemed to make sense from a tax point of view.
When I contacted my broker, Scotia iTrade, I was told that only Canadian dollars not US dollars could be in my RRIF account.
Could you please give me your opinion as to which is correct and if Heinzel is correct, how is it done?
Many, many, thanks for all you do. I certainly would not have done as well over the last few years, as I have being a member of 5I. I pass your name onto all my investor friends.
Congrats to your team.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

In today's Financial Post, there's an interesting article called "Betting on the U.S. election via the ‘Trump ETF’"

If one wanted to "bet" on a Hillary victory, would a small purchase of EWW be a wise move? Any hesitation I have is due to currency risk, but I am unsure.

Thanks for any advice.

Q: This week EcoSynthetix got its first commercial client for its Durabind adhesive and its share price increased accordingly. Have you any feel for where the share price might go as EcoSynthetix adds more customers, i.e.; do you think the present share price represents a top until the market sees how the new business is affecting the bottom line? Is this a good time to be adding more shares?

Q: Income Financial Trust pays a 12 per cent on its basket of financial holdings, and its share price is currently some 27 per cent over NAV. My question: its 2015 tax form indicates that almost all of its payout consists of return of capital. Does that mean that investors in INC.UN are just repaid their own money, and NAV will get reduced significantly over time?

Q: I have no exposure to the oil and gas sector. I am thinking of going 3% to 5% and would like your opinion on whether now is a reasonable time to re-enter this market. If so, would looking at the U.S. market be better than the Canadian Mkt. Any suggested companies or ETF's would be appreciated.

Cheers, Bob
