Q: Hi 5i
Currently own both but I intend to sell AQN to top up PSI or release funds for something new.
My question is relating to the likelihood of AQN suddenly gaining attention and being re-rated to the upside, effectively making this a timing question.
Thanks

Q: The governments of the United States and Canada may reduce interest rates this year. Based on recent inflation data, it appears that Canada will lower interest rates sooner than the US. My question is: Will the yield of Canadian bonds respond to the Canadian interest rate cut, or will it be influenced by developments in the US bond market? Thanks

Q: I have some USD cash sitting in my RRSP. What would be your most compelling buys today for an agressive investor for an RRSP, irregardless of sector. Kindly rank if possible. (with the caveat that tax loss selling isn’t possible)

I was considering FCX or EXP as I am light on materials. Would either of these fit in an RRSP, and which of these two would be your preference at this time?

Thank you
Please deduct as you deem fit.

Q: I have held Freehold for a little over 2 years, and am no more than even on the stock price (but at least have the dividends). Similar to James' question today, I am thinking about selling FRU and moving to an energy income ETF. I have been looking at EMAX, but was not aware of ENCC that was mentioned by James. EMAX is new, but I like the North American approach vs ENCC which appears to be only Canadian companies. Could you compare the pros and cons of each ETF, including taxation of distributions, call strategy and any trading premium to NAV. Do you have a preference of one over the other? My objective is some sector exposure and income, more than capital gains.
Thank-you

Q: I own a modest position in Hudbay Minerals (HBM). I was underwater on the stock but now I am up nearly 40 per cent with the recent run inculind today April 9. I have owned this one in the past and I have always sold it when it goes on a run and then I buy it back when it slides a few months later. Unfortunatley I did not add to my HBM position when it was badly beaten down in 2023. I don't want to add to this one but I am thinking of selling since that has served me well in the past. But this time I think it may be different since the "copper is the metal needed for the electrification of the world theme" might actually taking hold. HBM also produces a sizeable about of gold so I am not sure if that is driving the recent surge in the share price. What do the 5i guys think and would you buy, sell, or hold HBM without just shy of $11 per share?

Q: Everyone, I have been watching the above growth stocks since late last year. I usually have one or two high growth quality stocks that will add to the average returns of my portfolio. My last purchase of a high growth stock was LMN, which I purchased last September, with an average price of $20.50. The ones I am watching now have risen significantly and I am hesitant to buy into them since they might decline 50%. So should I buy a small portion of each to maybe a 10% holding of my overall portfolio? Or should I wait till……..
