Q: Hi 5i!

I still have a small weight position in Shopify and remain up over 500% from when I first bought. I'm thinking of selling and adding to a half weight position in GOEASY which looks to have better growth prospects. Would you endorse this move in today's market?

Thanks,
Greg.

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: Hi 5i

I have too many stocks and am starting to pare back. I have these five stocks in Energy. Which two would you sell? To which stock(s )would you add the cash from the sale.

Thanks for the excellent advice. It is so comforting to have 5i to ask questions of. It is hard to be objective sometimes when it is your own portfolio.

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

Now my understanding is the Canadian option market in not very liquid so should I journal over my Canadian banks, pipelines, Telecom, Utilities (big companies) to the US RRSP account? Also I imagine I’m looking to write covered calls on on big stable companies do REITs make sense. Can you rank the best sector’s and maybe some companies that make sense. Your help is appreciated.
