Q: Hello, I have these 3 pipeline cos plus BIPC and I would like to reduce these to 2 stocks (should be sufficient to cover the sector) among ENB, PPL and KEY. I want to keep BIPC. Which ones should I keep and why? I have held these 3 stocks for over 20 years and plan to hold 2 of these for at least another 5 years, possibly 10. Thanks

Q: This ETF was mentioned the other day in an answer. My question is in part about it…can you comment on its MER, volatility, liquidity and your overall assessment about it. But also, can you suggest what size market cap you would want to see an ETF have to be comfortable with taking a position of some size? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Another question, thought on Constellation. I have held this stock for many years and of course have done very well but my patience is running thin. Don't you think that management owes its shareholders something rather than not releasing any information. remaining quiet was fine when the stock was increasing double digits per year but now how about making a statement rather than silence that keeps the shareholders guessing. My thoughts. Wouldn't you think the large shareholders would want and deserve some answers.

Q: Hello

I wrote to CSU's investors relations asking them if they would be considering to start buying AI companies and he answered the following.

We have hundreds of AI initiatives taking place across CSI today and have very senior individuals spending a lot of time and effort ensuring we are not being complacent. We plan on presenting more on Ai at our AGM in May. I don’t think we need to change our acquisition strategy to stay relevant. Thanks.

Q: To what extent do you believe in the 'commodity supercycle' theory?

Do you expect gold to maintain its current levels, or perhaps surge further, due to the over-expansion of the money supply ?

Q: Hello 5i team,
In several recent reports you recommended selling the full position in CPD, noting “better opportunities.” I also noticed that CVD and MFT were removed from your model portfolios earlier.
Given this shift away from preferred-share ETFs, do you think a combination of ZWU, ENCC, ZWB, and HTA would serve as a reasonably balanced substitute for a moderate‑risk, slightly income‑oriented allocation? Or would you suggest broader diversification?
Thank you for your insights!

Q: In one of recent reports you suggested to sell full position of CPD mentioning "better opportunities". I noticed that CVD also disappeared from your Income Portfolio as well (it is more explicable for me). Can you suggest potential alternatives for substitution of CPD / CVD considering relatively high dividends they pay and relatively low volatility? (may you consider ZMO or ZPAY... or something like that - kind of speculations :)). Thank you for great service!

Q: Would you consider BDT a reasonable compliment to WSP/STN/ATRL? Of the latter 3, which would be your 2 favourites? Thanks for your response.

Q: Would you buy into Gold momentum or are we too late. If the answer is that we are not too late, what stocks or ETF would you recommend? Would you recommend KILO?
Thanks for your advice.
