Q: I'm considering an investment in India. What do you think about a long-term (5+ years) in that country? Capital gains are my primary interest. How should I invest there - Fairfax India (FTD.UN), Excel India Growth & Income Fund, INDY or XID? Do you have other suggestions for that market?

Q: Why not consider nmx as a mining company that has a solid functioning mine , is fully cashed up, is building a production facility that will be complete in late 2017 or early 2018, has sold 50% of the initial production at I assume a profit? Should this be the case why will it take decades for this co. to get anywhere. After meeting the CEO at a function almost exactly a year ago I got into this at 30c. Can you look at the financials on this co. and its realistic prospects and give an investment thesis . PS I think the comments you make at various market crises are very important to your individual investors. Do not hesitate to continue them Thanks as ever

Q: As a retired income investor, I own TRP (3.7%), ENB (3.5%), ENF (0.7%), PPL (1.7%), IPL (2.8%), ALA (3.7%) representing ~16% of the Canadian investments across all my accounts (registered & unregistered).

I am uncertain whether I should continue to hold all of these because the overall percentage is too high. Keeping in mind that I need income, should I perhaps cut the 16% down to ?? or is it fine to continue with this percentage? Which are your preferred picks for a longterm hold?

Should I rationalize down to 3 or 4 of these names or cut percentages of specific stocks? Do you view any of them as especially risky?

(Canadian banks and telcos represent 24% and 10% respectively of my Canadian investments.)

This may count as another question which is fine:
• Have you any insight into the geographies served by the smaller pipeline companies?
• Is there any likelihood of acquisition/ merger activity between them or with TRP or ENB or ?

Thank you 5i, as always!
