Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,
I am thinking of taking a position on Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR.O) and would like to get your comments on this company as well as its Q4 earnings released on March 1.
Cheers,

Q: Hi could I please have your opinion on eCobalt Solutions as a speculative Cobalt company. I looked at the Thompson Reuters evaluation on TD waterhouse and they give it a "10" out of 10 rating. Also 2 analysts list it as a "strong buy". With the Cobalt price surging I'm looking for a way to benefit from the growth in demand, but with a company that has no ties to the Congo. Do you see potential in this company for a small hold? Technically it is right at the 200 day moving average.

Q: Could I get your take on Calloway Golf Company (ELY), please. I'm looking for US non-tech stocks with solid and reliable performance and growth.

Q: Hello 5i, Can I get your assessment of this company. It seems to be building a base in the 50 to 55 range since Mar 2017. Can you confirm these parameters that were taken from BMO Investorline.
Revenue: 4,444 (million)
Estimated EPS Growth: 24.1%
Estimated P/E Ratio: 238.60
DPS: 2.429000 (4.5%)
Price/Book Ratio: 0.85
If this range of of 50-55 is in fact a base building what do you see as a breakout for it.
Thanks for your service.

Q: Hi 5i, What are your thoughts on XMA. Due to the Potash/Agrium deal 16.5% of this ETF is in Nutrien. Seems to me they should have diversified this over the past year as the deal took awhile to close. IMO, there is no need for this one stock to be such a large portion of this ETF. Please comment. Thanks

Q: hello. i was curious as to if there are a list of small to mid size oil and gas companies that should have a really great rally if some of these pipelines ever get approved? thanks

Q: Can I get your thoughts on BGC - Bristol Gate Concentrated Canadian Equity ETF?
I'm considering it for my dividend portfolio for some diversification. Like many other I already have lots of financials, utility and energy holdings.

Q: In light of the recent market turmoil and prospects of a global trade war I feel I should have some exposure to gold. In your opinion, would it be best to invest in a specific gold miner (miners), a gold ETF or perhaps a royalty company. I'm looking for a longer term hold.

Q: I have the above (ZBK, CJP, VEE, XFH) ETF's making up part of my portfolio in order to gain exposure to international markets and US bank growth as a result of tax cuts, rising interest rates and deregulation. I'm wondering whether i should be making any switches to other ETF's that would be giving me a better overall return (given currency, growht profile, MER, concentration etc.)...or would you switch nothing?

Q: Greetings et al,
I would appreciate if Peter could give his opinion on b2, since he spent many years at Sprott. I hear nothing but good about B2 from analysts,
guests on BNN, Globe articles, and 5-i, and yet it never can break $ 4.00.
If gold goes up it generally goes down. Astute CEO. What is wrong?
I read an article in the Globe on March 29 stating that for every $ 1.00
increase in the price of WCS DESJARDINS estimates that athabasca oilsands cash flow will increase 10.4%. This AM it was announced
that due to less imports by the USA from Venezeula coupled with
Enbridge reducing what they call airpockets in their shipping system
the WCS/WTI has reduced from $ 28.00 in February, 2018 to $ 18.00
today, and ATH is down today. At an increase of $ 10.00/ barrel for
ATH provided it stays there, Wouldn't one think Ath would go up a few cents?
Thanks,
BEN.

Q: can you provide me your opinion on this stock , please and thank you....cheers

Q: would like to add a good dividend stock(s) with a safe dividend and decent chance for price growth....could you rank these three, or would you buy them all in equal parts? thanks.

Q: Hi All at 5i! I was thinking of initiating a position in Saputo. This is for a long term hold. What are your thoughts on the company and is it a good time to buy? Cheers, Tamara

Q: I bought GE several years ago for its stable dividend (sigh). I have been pondering whether to let it ride and see how it recovers or if I should sell before it drops to nothing. Looking at what is being published goes in both directions as to whether it should be held or sold. From your Q&A it appears that you wouldn't suggest getting in. What is your position about holding a persons current position?

Q: In the April 3rd BNN Market Call Newsletter, Jaime Carrasco makes a case for increasing one's gold holdings, due to China ".....giving the petro-yuan gold convertibility......".
Could we have your reaction to his argument? (And recommendations if you tend to agree?)

Thanks for your great service!!!
