Q: I've been looking over FRU since I saw your most recent answer to a Q about it. Seems remarkable the it is now trading at a price last seen in 2000! It is trading below it's 2008 low. My question is: Considering that oil is a declining asset has this company managed to increase its land holdings in oil over the last 20 years or is it on a slow decline? Also, how did it perform in the 2008 Great Recession?

Q: A guest of BNN suggested that seniors looking for yield should consider the larger US Industrials. He feels that the Industrial sector is already in recession and priced lower that results in good yields. Need to select ones with ability to continue paying dividend thru a rough patch.
Could you suggest ones that align with this theory.

Q: Hi team
I am in a bit of a quandary, I bought ala a while ago, before they cut the dividend, my average cost is about $ 29, I know the old saying it doesn't matter what you paid for it, its the present that counts, I have it in a tax free account. I am thinking about selling some of it and buying vet, higher yield, but Lord knows that it could be cut at any time regardless of the management says they wont. I also feel that it has a better chance of capital gains in the future. How do you feel about this plan
Thanks

Q: hello 5i:
the railroads are beginning to look a little more interesting to me. While I still think we need at least another 5% taken from the price to become very interested, I wish to know which you'd pick today, knowing you go back and forth on them (you last chose CN in mid-August), and WHY you'd choose the one you do.
thanks

Q: I hold Enterprise Product Partners in my RRSP account. I own this because the US seems less risky to pipelines in general. They announced further expansion with added capacity into 2021 and 2022. I know you don't cover US stocks but wonder if you could comment on debt levels, dividend coverage, etc.

Thanks for the fine service you provide

Q: Dear 5i,
I currently hold BIP in my USD account because it pays dividends in USD.
When the proposed share split is implemented;
1. What happens if one holds BIP in a USD account?
2. What happens if one holds BIP.UN in a CDN account?
3. Should I "journal" BIP to my CDN account prior to the split?
I'm afraid I didn't understand the bulletin on the Brookfield site.

thanks

Q: I own both of these companies. Looking to increase my exposure to renewable energy companies. Looking to the future, do you see any greater upside in share price for either one or should I just increase my investment in each one? Do you know of any other Canadian companies that are comparable or may even have more chance of increasing in value as we move forward. Both of these companies are held in my RRIF account. Thanks for your much respected advice.

Q: Can you explain a bit more about what is going to happen with the upcoming stock split? This is what I've seen so far: "Currently, unitholders are expected to receive 0.11 BIPC shares for each unit held of Brookfield Infrastructure (i.e., one BIPC class A share for every nine Brookfield Infrastructure units held) in the form of a special distribution." Also do you know when this will take place? Thanks!
