Q: I held AQN in two separate accounts for over a year, I sold AQN in the account that had the largest position (80%) and I've hung on to AQN in the other account.

I thought of replacing AQN with NPI to maintain my sector exposure, I've yet to make that purchase.....why???? I've been side tracked with the idea of buying BEP.... Can you folks please wade in, would appreciate some of your thoughts and rationale.

Happy Holidays to the staff and readers

Q: I want to say a specific thanks to Peter. In the 1990's I started to follow Peter's articles in the Investor's Digest newspaper. Then I followed him on the original BNN show which at that time was ROBtv. Later, on BNN I followed Peter and that is when he began 5i. I am one of the original 5i members. I can't thank you enough Peter for over 25 years of your wonderful advice and insight into both the market but also on human nature. Thanks to you we have managed a very successful family portfolio. Thanks so much. Have a wonderful Holiday Season.
A very grateful Cathy

Q: Hello 5i,

I sold for tax loss VZ and the 30 day period is over. Ignoring that VZ has since increased in price I am starting to change my mind about buying back. Certainly a change in sector but would ABBV be a better replacement since my health care exposure is low? If not can you let me know if VZ is worth buying back.

Q: Hi Peter,
Banks and fund companies are pitching the sale of private assets like private equity, properties, infrastructure and private credits to retail investors, setting up funds for high net worth clients. What should retail investors watch out for when considering investing in such funds? Are there funds in this area that you will recommend for retail investors? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
Could you please rank ENB, PPL and TRP in order of preference for income with some growth? Is it a good time to be adding to this sector? Thank you in advance!

Q: Hello,

Can you rank CNQ, SU and Toumaline in order of preference for overall returns? If owning only one which would be your choice? Is the recent pullback in prices a good opportunity to buy into the sector or should a person stay on the sidelines for a bit to see how the economy slows in the next half year? This is for a new account so no position yet. Income with some growth preferred. Please take credits as needed. Thank you! Great service.
