Q: Hello 5i. Is there a difference between what US producers are receiving and what Canadian producers are receiving for natural gas. I watch BNN and I think on the top right hand side they state a natural gas price but I think this is for US producers not Canadian producers. Which if true, is misleading I think. Where would you recommend that I look for the daily price of natural gas for Canadian gas producers. .

Q: Hi 5i,

May I please have your current thoughts on EV makers other than Tesla (which I already own)?
Are companies such as Rivian, Lucid, BYD, Nio etc. (or any others you can suggest) worth investing in as a stock?
Multiple questions here, but if you could give a brief breakdown of the more viable companies and their investment merits (or not) that would be great.


Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Can you please compare Pembina to TC Energy? Pembina seems to have been more conservative in terms of leverage and have a similar yield and a pretty range bound stock versus TRP which just keeps sliding.

Pembina seems to have some good strategic growth ahead of it here and TRP makes me wonder if they are chasing shiny things instead of what works and I wonder if they have the money to fund these projects.
Thoughts?

Q: Peter,

Please indicate the general overall differences between the FTSE, MSCI & STOXX indexes. I realize there are many sub indexes for each these. I am not requesting any info on those. I am looking only for a macro summary and your order of preference for a conservative retail investor.

Thank you,

Paul

Q: Dear amazing 5i employee,

I trust that you are well!

An analyst at 5i noted (in answer to one of questions) that there are dozens of trading opportunities available in the market right now. Would you be able to list some of those opportunities? By trading opportunities I mean simple trades (buy low, sell high).



Yours kindly,
David

Q: NBLY is definitely the sorriest holding that I have. Down basically every week since early March.

Has not moved 1 iota in the face of the current market upswing.

Although you guys continue to tout their great earnings outlook in 24 and 25, others, I'm sure have the same info.

There must be a reason for this sad state of affairs with NBLY.

Can you comment please.
