Q: Due to extraordinary volatility, I have reduced above stocks to minor positions and have looked at healthcare stocks. Not sure, whether this approach is realistic. Technology seems still to be surging after setbacks. Your assessment is appreciated.
Thank you, Team!

Q: Hello 5i Team

The market has announced a takeover of Kinder Morgan Canada by Pembina Pipeline. The deal indicates that holders of KML will receive 0.3068 shares of PPL per 1.0 KML shares.
The Pembina news release indicates the value of the KML shares for the deal is $15.02 and the Kinder Morgan Canada news release indicates the value for the KML shares for the deal is $15.12.
The current price for PPL this morning is approximately $49.00 and the current price for KML is approximately $14.77. Therefore KML is trading slightly below the offer price ($49.00 x 0.3068 = $15.03). The deal is not anticipated to close until 1rst quarter of 2020.
I own both PPL and KML, however in separate accounts.
Based on today's prices, PPL is yielding 4.8 % and KML now yields 4.3 % (down from 5.9 % prior to merger announcement).
The deal does not indicate whether KML will continue to pay dividends in Nov 2019 and Feb 2020. Is this correct?
Should I sell my KML today and reinvest in a completely different security (I do not wish to own PPL in the account I held KML in) or wait until the merger occurs and then sell the PPL shares I receive).
Thanks

Q: As per the Prospectus from August 14th, "Closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about August 22, 2019, or such earlier or later date as we, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters may agree, but in any event no later than September 15, 2019 (the “Closing Date”)."
If not a recipient of this offering, is there a way to monitor the activity over that above time frame?

Q: Believe it or not one of the key benefits of 5i is your amazing growth ideas in the US market. Although SHOP, LSPD, CSU have given me excellent returns to date your choices in the US market like AYX, TEAM, etc have been outstanding.

So my question today is, have you uncovered any other promising US gems that are growth oriented a la TEAM and AYX ,recently, that might not have been mentioned on this Q&A section as of yet.

If yes, Please share and thank you.

Q: I currently own both of the above securities in my RRSP account in equal weights. I want to sell one of them. I am leaning towards selling ENB because it will reduce 1 company risk, but on the other hand there probably would be more upside to ENB. The funds will be used to buy a growthier name in TECH. Which would you sell?
Still have 6 years before needing any funds from the RRSP
