Q: MMP.UN... own it, great distribution ... unsustainable? Has it bottomed out? Thanks for your help.

Q: Peter, your opinion please on Thomson Reuters Corp TRI. I purchased this early last year in a registered account. Yield is good but the stock price has dropped significantly and seems to be going nowhere. The company has had difficulty with the rollout of its Eikon platform, which I believe they are not having a great deal of success competing against Bloomberg. I believe they are also repositioning some of their business units through acquisitions and divestitures. Do you consider this dead money? Buy more, hold or sell? Do you have any recommendations as an alternative in this segment? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter, I have a question regarding Spartan STO and Pinecrest PRY, what are your thoughts on these two well run oils? Also, have you come across these two CEO's through your past dealings at Sprott and your thoughts on them (McHardy and Becker)? L Wade Becker, President and CEO of PRY who is a director of STO, also was invloved as a co-founder of Crescent Point Trust/Energy...what are your thoughts on mergers/takeovers by either or, or by Crescent Point?
If I may push my luck a little bit, your thoughts on Novus NVS and New Millenium NML would greatly be appreciated too...I can't seem to get honest advice on whether to hold or sell these companies at current prices...NML seems to have a ton of cash on hand and a great relationship with Tata Steel. NVS doesn't seem to be going anywhere for years but south! If you were rating these companies at 5i today what would they be in your view?
Thanks, Hussein

PS: greatly appreciate and respect your honest advice

Q: Hello 5i!
Thank you for your recent "Investment Tips for Individual Investors". The fact that you were talking about me made me laugh. I learn geography best when looking at junior resource companies in god-knows-where locations. Still laughing. It was honest and I appreciate that.

On that note and without futher ado I would appreciate your input regarding a resource company, Arcan (ARN). We recently (wife and I) initiated a position at $2.17. We may be purchasing more but would appreciate input from the all seeing 5i Oracle.

Additionally previously one of your answers had talked about the recovery being long with low interest payments. 10 years was the guestimate for low interest. Could you elaborate on your thoughts for this time frame? Generally if interest rates aren't kept low the debt payments countries are carrying will hamstring them? So Countries will do their utmost to keep interest rates low while hopefully working like hell to reduce/drop debt. Then when interest rates/inflation comes hopefully their future earnings can out compete their future debt payments?
