Q: Hello,
Would like your opinion on the proposed merger of TGL and VAALCO Energy. As a current holder of TGL, I'm wondering what I should do? I've done quite well with this company and it pays an attractive dividend. Would you sell at this point, or have your shares converted to VAALCO... if in fact the merger does take place.
Appreciate your input. Thank you,
Tom

Q: Good morning,
Just saw in my news feed that RY missed expectations. Means another blood bath for the banks? Should one wait before backing up the truck and loading up? How long should one wait for the dust to settle? I know RY,TD &BNS are your favorite picks.

If you can add a few sentences in the US banking sector,not would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Mano.

Q: hello 5i:
regarding the 49% investment by BIP in INTC'S chip plant.
BIP is our largest holding, so we are concerned as to the significance of this deal and the effect on BIPs future. How significant is it?
And, with INTCs well-known failures of overpromising and underdelivering, poor allocation of capital and just bad management decisions, will an alliance with INTC not drag BIP down with it? Could not the company find a "more reliable" partner (ie AMD)?
How does BIP benefit in all of this?
I suppose that another way of asking this, is "should we lighten up". Tough, as we've held since 2015 and been very happy owners.
thanks

With these wildly different ratios can you help with comparisons. What numbers would you suggest for evaluation these two companies... which one holds the best reward for an investor?
