Q: Hi
I was thinking of selling ABBV and BOCH and only hold 5% of each.

Then buy CDL.A, AVO, AYA and CUS for both growth and dividends for 2 of them.

If you have any ideas I would sure listen.

Thanks

Mike

5i, in your collective research, how likely is this going to happen over the next year or so?

Q: Hey Guys,
I am curious as to your opinion on whether EGL.UN is worth the buy. I got it pre IPO and sold it at a decent profit while enjoying the distributions. Now that it has taken a bath in price and still paying out, is it worth considering?

I am a huge fan of payments are there any other companies, or funds that I could consider?

Thanks very much.

Q: Good Day 5i. Some weeks ago after viewing your suggestion that a reasonable equity portfolio might consist of 20 stocks, each representing about 5% of the total, I set mine up in that way. SU was one of the stocks I already held and still do, but I am concerned that it will take a few years before it shows much gain. I am thinking of selling SU and replacing it in my portfolio with PEY. The current prices and yield for each of these are about the same, and I think the upside with PEY will occur much faster. What do you think, or are there better liquids rich gas options that PEY? Brian
