Q: I've been looking over the large variations in valuations between this stock's ticker prices in both CDA and US. I noticed the yield between BIP:US and BIP.UN is rather tiny. Just curious, between all 4 tickers which offers the cheapest entry? If yield is included does that rearrange the order? As a separate issue could you mention the withholding tax metric as it has nothing to do with what an American calculates into a purchase of this stock?

TIA

Q: In a question asked by Keith yesterday about position size of small caps, you answered that you would consider 3% to be a reasonable full position within a well-diversified portfolio.

Could you clarify if you meant a full position at the time of purchase or that you would tend to start trimming a small-cap position once it started to exceed that level?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I already own XBC, and have been looking at GRN it has moved up a bit lately. Is it a buy? Was just wondering how much difference there was in these two companies. XBC seems to be more into the hydrogen and cleaning of gases. Is GRN more into RNG equipment and installations. I know you really like XBC and was wondering whether it would be suitable to buy GRN. Or do you have another company in the same field that might be better or should I just add to my XBC.
Thanks John

Q: Hi 5i
I am looking to rebalance my consumer cyclical and defensive portions of my portfolio.
I would very much appreciate your recommendations on the better CDN and US stocks to consider in these areas. I have reviewed your portfolios and reports and am very much a dividend opportunist but would not shy away from growth

Thank you

Peter

Q: I already hold DXG right now. I want to buy one more ETF - which one would you suggest out of DXN, DXW OR DXZ ETF. So there is no overlap with the current DXG.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team,

I know you haven't been a big fan of these two companies in the past, due to some questionable management issues before they split from Patient Home Monitoring. However, Viemed shares have surged since listing on the Nasdaq (with some help from Covid) and PTQ has shown recent momentum with last week's announcement of a pending Nasdaq listing. Could you please give me your current thoughts on these two companies? Specifically, does the potential for a cross-listing gain with PTQ outweigh some of the other concerns, or would you still be wary? Thanks, Brad

Q: What Canadian bond fund would you suggest if as the fed states they are not even thinking about raising rates for two years? What bond fund would you suggest when rates do start to increase? If I bought XBB , which bond fund would best act like a hedge to it? The idea is to collect a small yield and preserve capital.
