Q: It seems the Liberals are going to heave a whole lot of money at likely renewable energy and infrastructure in the coming months. Does 5i have some suggestions where some of its subscribers would place some investment funds?

Q: Re" Chris's question where to park house sale proceeds - I too just sold our house (in the process of building another over the next year) and am looking for short term low risk yield. I opened a Tangerine savings and checking account - who offer 2.5% for the first 5 months ($million max) Offer code is "EARNMORE". You have to open both a checking and savings account to qualify. No restrictions after the 5 months and the advisor I talked to told me that before moving the money out - to talk to them as they may extend the offer or provide another offer at that time. Question for 5I - With CDIC limits at $100K - would moving the max over for the 5 months be seen to be "too risky". I really don't want to have to open a bunch of accounts to lower what I see as pretty low risk of bank failure. Thanks

Q: Hello,
Just joined and have a question about Alaris conversion to an income trust. I have had shares for several years in a non-registered account that have now been converted to an income trust. These shares were purchased at a much higher price than they now trade at. I'm not happy with the conversion of the shares to an income trust as I know I will be paying more income tax on the distributions in a non-registered account. Additionally, Alaris has somehow taken the original cost of my AD shares and substituted a much lower cost for an equal number of AD.UN shares. I called TD Brokerage and they said they have to go by the value supplied by Alaris. This leaves me unable to claim a large capital loss on my income tax when I sell these shares. This seems to be a very poor business practice and unfair to shareholders. Is this a common practice in these types of conversions and is there any recourse available that you are aware of in getting my original cost base reinstated? Thank you.

Q: re Data Providers

Dear 5i,
can you help tell me which data providers you use on your web site for your members;
Fundamental data?
Share Holdings Information?
Share Short Information?
I have access to multiple data sources with my discount broker so when I am researching a stock I want to avoid looking at the duplicate sources to save me time.

thanks
Insider Information?

Q: Every morning I read all news that occurred overnight on the companies that I own. I then move to articles about the sector news about each company and then to the world geo political news. Almost everyday I read an article in Yahoo news about LSPD. Recently my thoughts have turned to a conflict of interest between the companies, especially small to mid cap stocks, and the news organizations that produce the articles. It is almost entirely the same information twisted a little. Is there a conflict of interest between the two organizations, News organizations and the companies? Or are the news organizations just want the clicks to their platform for advertising stats? I assume the company does not object because they are positive articles and any positive article is a benefit.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Clayton
