Q: hi Peter

I am interested in two ETN's (Exchange Traded Notes - GLDI and SLVO).

GLDI is a Credit Suisse Gold Shares Covered Call ETN (Yield of 16.2%) and

SLVO is a Credit Suisse Silver Shares Covered Call ETN (Yield of 31.06%).

They appear to be stable investments but the yields seem to be surprising high.

Can you please let me know your opinion on these 2 ETN's.

Thanks,

Mike

Q: Hi Peter and team. This is the 2nd time I heard someone mention an income portfolio. Has the 5i team published another portfolio, other than the model portfolio, I am not aware of? I remember last year you guys mentioned the possibility of starting a growth portfolio. Any updates on than front?

Lastly, I have zero oil/gas exposure. I was thinking of increasing my monthly income stream and getting a little growth as well by adding a combo of whitecap resources (wcp), torc oil and gas (tog) and surge energy (sgy). I was thinking, initially, these 3 names will collectively make up between 4% and 6% of my portfolio. Do you see anything wrong with the combination of these three names? I see torch sold off today after they released their earnings.

Thanks again and safe travels.

Q: Western Pacific Resources WRP:V Is this worth holding?
They now have two newsletter writers on the board, which I find
odd. Also, what do you think of their recent streaming deal
and financing?

Q: Hello 5i,

I purchased easy home for 18 bucks today. Do you believe that they will gain a greater market share with their main competition, the cash store, closing their stores?

Q: Peter and welcome to Ryan ... the new income portfolio is 90% complete and I , as many members, are excited about this new investment vehicle. My question is this, will the portfolio be best applied to a cash account (tax purposes), an RRSP (protected growth), an LIF or an TFSA. Thanks for all your hard work.
