Q: I currently have a total of 5% of my portfolio in an equal combination of ENB and PPL. How advantageous (if at all), would it be to add BPMP for the sake of its dividend and seemingly low current valuation? As this would be a non-registered account investment does the tax treatment of U.S. dividends present a material issue?

Q: For a non-regustered account, with the price difference at about 8 dollars would it be better overall for income to purchase BIP.UN if you had a fixed dollar amount to invest for the additional shares you would get over purchasing BEPC even considering the dividend tax credit benefit of BEPC..

Q: Morning 5i team,
I'm looking for a few suggestions on an ETF that covers consumer staples in the NAM? Some that came to mind were XST and STPL, but they seem to lack US exposure?
Thanks

Q: I was listening to someone who was saying that industrial is the new retail (because of the supply chain to online sales) and that it makes sense to invest in COLD and PBW (US). What are your thoughts on this thesis, and if you agree, what companies would you recommend? It seems that TFII has benefited from this theme.

Q: I recognize this company is a penny stock ( trading at 12 cents a share) but it does seem really cheap, compared to say Alcanna. Liquor sales for home consumption have really picked up and the LCBO near my house seems pretty busy all the time. The hot weather certainly helps but the consensus of friends and family is that enjoying a good drink is one of the few safe pleasures these days.

Q: I am a bit overweight on pipelines and think I should sell some Enbridge or Pembina and beef up a couple of my smaller tech holdings since we are a bit underweight on that right now. I already own enough CSU, KXS and OTEX but only partial positions of Enghouse and Descartes. We have bought and sold SHOP several times over the past year, making some good money so have treated it more like a trading stock and don't currently own it. Would you agree with buying more Enghouse and Descartes for the long term at this time or would you recommend something else?
