Q: hello 5i:
I'm looking for an ETF with attributes similar to ZWH, but with more an international flavour, so not purely a US focus. Suggestions?
thanks

Q: Can you tell me if Brookfield has divested of its shares in Superior Plus? I had thought they would have bought them out by now. Also, has Superior Plus cut their dividend. I bought it years ago for the yield but I am down considerably. Would you cut your losses and move on or is it too cheap to sell now.
And if I sell, what to replace it with.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i,
Will you please explain the proposed strategic combination? Looks like if every unit holder tendered their shares for $37, then I'd receive $37 for 30% of my shares and 1 share of the new company for the remaining 70%?
If all unit holders (except me) elected to convert their shares to the new company, is it possible to receive $37 for 100% of my shares?
What is your recommendation?

Q: Reading TSX Money about the combination of A&W Royalties Income Fund and A&W Food Services, it says, "Each Fund unit to be exchanged for one share of the combined company or $37.00 in cash (subject to proration)." As I write the unit price of A&W Income Fund is $33.76 which is a long way from $37. Can you please explain what unit holders have to do in order to get the full $37?

Thank you as always for your expertise.

Q: A follow up question to my earlier Q wrt Brookfield Companies.

Can I have you views between BIPC.CA and BIP.UN.CA. I believe they are basically the same company, is this assumption correct??

BIP.UN is a Limited Partnership where BIPC is a corporation, what is the difference, is it mostly how taxes are managed, I know the unit pricing and dividends are different. I will be holding in my RRSP, is one better than the other for this registered account

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

I know (looking at previous questions) 5i likes XEI as do I with the good dividend I continue to enjoy. But it has languished since Aug 2022 when I took up a position to the tune of (as of today) a tad over -8%. Considering market conditions since that time and the fact the Blackrock index is made up of some 50+ S&P/TSX composite index stock, shouldn't I be enjoying a little bit better performance on the capital gains side of things? My goal with this ETF was to enjoy the dividend and appreciate a 4 or 5% per year return or at least stay close to par. Is there something I'm missing? Are my expectations unreasonable? What is your interpretation of what drives this ETF?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Tourmaline has been on a slide recently. I am looking for a bounce and will be selling my position and would have thought the excessive heat in the US and parts of Canada would have supported the price of Nat Gas and thus Tou. That hasn’t happened.
Could you provide your opinion on the short term, 3-6 months, price of Nat Gas and Tourmaline’s stock price?

Q: Is the negative book value a concern for the company. I see some online people claiming the stock is undervalued, however, how can that be if it has a negative book value. Is the dividend safe?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I am curious about your thoughts on Premium brand holdings (PBH). I entered a position around $86 and the stock has gone down in the past 2 years from a high of $110. I was wondering if you are still confident in the company? The BE portfolio entered at ~$56.

I think this is a slow growth company organically, do you stay with a holding as long as it is well above the entry point or is there a point were you may say that a company has run out of room and is time to exit?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: I own stock in EMA. As you know it has been underperforming for the past few years. Would it be a wise move to sell EMA and put the money into Hydro One. I would appreciate your thoughts and the pros and cons of such a move. Thanks
