Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team
I have a 10% weighting of oil and gas stocks in my portfolio. I am considering making BXE a 1/3 weighting of my oil and gas stocks, making it a 3.33% weighting of my entire portfolio. What do you think of this? What do you think of BXE?

Thanks

Q: Peter please comment on the alleged, or true, China Real Estate bubble. I was watching 60 minutes and HBO Vice and they both showed and reported so called "Ghost Cities" being built in China BUT are empty. According to these programs the Chinese people are NOT allowed to trade stocks, as we do, so pile all their money into speculative Real Estate and that is driving their economy. What are your comments on it bursting? when? and the effect on the world and Canada?
Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Further to others' recent questions on resource and particularly uranium plays, can you please update your comments following my May 3rd question on Fission (FCU)? Obviously this is more a speculative risk stock than Cameco would be, but FCU appears to be delivering the promised positive drill results and the share price has doubled during a period when the junior resource exploration sector has been pretty bleak. Is it a good hold from here? Thanks.

Q: Hey Peter & Team, KBL: I have held this stock since Dec 2009 and it has been a great ride and I have followed K Bro closely. Friday's report was a shock. Modest revenue growth but lower EPS and net income and negative operating cash flow. Debt has doubled to 15% of total assets as they build Edmonton plant to handle lower margin Alberta contracts recently secured. I have been waiting for another dividend increase but on these results can't see one coming any time soon. True, there are still significant contract wins, but gone are the bolt-on, high return consolidations and in with the high cost plant builds (Saskatchewan is next) to handle lower margin new long term government contracts. We are to count on higher efficiencies eventually from these plants to offset lower margin business. Is there sufficient growth to support at 23x PE multiple? I am grateful of your advice. Many thanks, Keith

Q: Bgi.un Brookfield infrastructure.
For an investor looking for long term stability, some growth and dividend income, would this be a good stock to own.
Also, would a basket of stocks bgi.un, wte and snc lavalin make good investing sense.

Thank you, yet again, for all your help.
