Q: Hi Peter,

As a subscriber of the service since 2017 (despite being urged to join at least 2 to 3 years earlier) I am very grateful for the information and education that 5i has provided to me. I have used the balanced portfolio for my road map and couldn't be happier. I was wondering if you would't mind humoring me, and sharing what you view to be the three best selections you have made in that portfolio, the three worst, and the three you wish you had made, dating back to the inception in 2013. A small explantion why would be appreciated. This being Friday, that should give you the weekend to reminisce. Take care and have a great weekend to all of the staff at 5i.

Q: Hi 5i,
can you help suggest some US and CDN, ETF's and Mutual funds that are worth doing further research on if one might be interested in investing a small portion in the distressed debt sector. Thanks

Q: Any reason why BIP.UN's unit price today took such a big dip?

I noticed three fairly large trades, two today (311.4K at 9:30am and 133.6K at 3:30pm) and also one yesterday before closing (84.5k at 3:30pm). Some major holder(s) decided to exit, or what's the story? Today's total volume at 1.25million shares is also well over the daily average of 250K.

Know anything that happened? Thanks.

Q: Trying to decide between Topicus and Lumine for a long-term growth portfolio here.
I am digging into both, and finding that Lumine gets around a third of revenue from an acquisition they made called Wideorbit. Wideorbit gets almost all of its revenue from ad selling into radio stations, local TV and National TV networks.
I guess I am worried about how this business model can work long term (my teenagers never watch traditional TV or listen to radio, and cord cutting is quite prevalent apparently). Does this high percentage of revenue worry you in terms of Lumine going forward? Thanks
