Q: Hello 5i Team, I would like your opinion on Energy Fuels (EFR)? I know the price of uranium has to be considered, but do you see much upside potential in this company in the next couple of years or is this a much longer term hold?

Q: Hi Peter I know that you are not big on mutual funds in general. However, I've been looking at investing in the health care sector and came across CI's Global Health Sciences Corp Cl.
It shows 20% return average over 5 years with the past 2 years at 44 and 59%. Management fees are high at 5%. When the company publishes these figures, have the management fees already been taken off, or should they be subtracted to get actual returns. Would you also please comment on whether this fund is worth considering investing in. Thank you. Your information is always very helpful.

Q: Re Paul's request for recommendations for a discount broker. RBC Direct Investing just recently came out with $9.95 Flat per trade for ALL online investors (no minimum balance,no trade activity required & no expiry date...i.e. it's not a limited time offer).
Even TD/Waterhouse offers a $9.99 Flat fee with total "Household Assets of $50,000 +".
Either of the above would be better (from a fee perspective) than Paul's CIBC fees as the value of all accounts (in TD/Waterhouse's case) count towards the $50,000.

Q: When I was still using the services of a broker/adviser, I was persuaded to buy some Teck Resources TCK.B when it was having a good run. It dropped considerably after that. I’m no longer using a broker/adviser and during the summer, I doubled down on this stock and bought at a good price. I am finally at a situation where I am breaking even and the shares represent 5% of our total Registered plans. We are retired and are looking forward 10-15 years max., but need some growth and income in the meantime. Should I hold on?
