Q: Last year global oil demand again hit a new record, over 100M barrels PER DAY. Even with renewables increasing, the demand for oil is continuing to increase and the EIA expects this trend to continue for a long time since global energy demand is will grow and renewables won`t even be able to keep up with demand. So assuming oil goes from 100M consumption per day to 120M barrels, what oil companies do you see benefiting the most. If Alberta oil continues to be landlocked due to political reasons, would it be best to look to the USA who now have record exports. If so who would be the best companies. Or do you think that with Canada being curtailed it will mainly benefit state owned companies like Iran, Saudi.

Q: Hi there,
looking for an addition for my us portfolio - am a bit of a value investor. Each of these stocks seem to be struggling of late but appear to be good long term investments. All with a bit of dividend and good growth prospects. If you had to choose one ( regardless of sector) which would it be here.
Cheers

Q: Gentlemen,

I researched this etf, found it's returns to be very competitve, with a return of over 8% and a 5 star Morningstar rating.

Can you look at PTY and give me the strengths and weaknesses from your point of view and whether you would see this as a strong portfolio addition for income and growth.
If you think is is a worthwhile candidate which type of account would you put it in?

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: Good morning team 5i
All of these stocks are down. Setting aside sector weights and realizing I am asking for a "crystal ball" answer, which of the above do you think has the quickest (6 months to a year) upside? I have a bit of cash for this specific exercise. Much thanks as usual for all you do!

Q: 5i Team,

Please provide your guidance on US based ETF's that you believe could be a buy now, and perhaps others that could be placed on a watch list pending a market adjustment or a new developing trend line. Goals would be moderate growth (lean towards safety) with a steady and growing dividend. I currently hold VIG and would want to expand my US based exposure. Position would be held in either a cash or rrsp account. Many thx. Steve.

Q: My question concerns my rif which has 50% cash right now with u.s. div. stocks representing that 50% invested. I am considering investing equally in usmv - aem and cwb (convertible bond etf) in this rif. Does this make sense in todays investment market with the u.s indexes at all time highs and trading sideways or should i hold that cash into year end . That cash in the rif represents about 23% of my overall cash position. We are 70 yoa with enough income from canadian dividend stocks to supply us with our living so look at this amount as next generation money...thanks for the great service...
