Q: Hi Peter,
Can you please explain negative interest rates on bonds in Europe. Is the yield negative because of strong demand (i.e. prices getting bid up) or are these bonds just issued with buyers knowing that at maturity they'll get less than their origianal investment back? Thanks as always!

Q: Hi Peter,

While at Sprott you liked the potential of Sensio Technologies as it could possibly become the defacto standard of 3D transmission technology. Are the recent signings something that you envisioned would happen a few years ago? In light of these recent signings by Sensio is there still potential for your initial investment thesis to take hold. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Q: Over the past few years, I have on several occasions taken advantage when our loonie was solidly above parity with the US$ to purchase US$ (cash) with an eye towards getting some diversification outside of Canada. The trouble is I have yet to make any foreign purchases and US$ cash now represents about 15% of my holdings. I have been patiently waiting for a meaningful pullback in the US markets which hasn't arrived. I realize that 5i's focus is primarily Canadian, but could you provide any general recommendations (either individual names or ETFs) that you feel would be suitable for new buying at present to provide some broad diversification in the US or abroad (priced in US$). Thanks.

Q: Hey guys. I've held kmp for a few years. Was thinking of possibly selling a portion or all my killam and replacing that dividend stream with morguard north american reit and building my cash position with whatever money is left over.

Option number 2 would be to keep all my killam and buy mrg.un with some of my existing cash position.

Any thoughts? Thanks.
