Q: I am pretty sure you have answered this before but I could not find anything with the search option, so here goes.
Brookfield companies have a complex structure and I was wondering in which category exactly their distributions fall with regards to taxation. For example I read that sometimes distributions from shares of BIP held in a TFSA were subject to the 15% witholding tax, while some other times they were not.
Could you please clarify the situation and also state your prefered account in which to hold BEP, BIP and BAM? I have them on my radar, so I want to make sure I maximize returns when the time comes to own them.
Thank you very much as always.

Q: Is there somewhere that investors can look to find up-to-date information on who the largest shareholders in a company are?
e.g. - If I want to know who the largest shareholder of Amazon is as of today (assume it's Jeff Bezos?), Is there somewhere to find that information?

Q: Hi 5i, On September 19 a client asked you a question on this stock and its price peaked at $0.45 that day. Here is part of your response "At $220M market cap, each 'future' location is being valued at about $4M, which seems high to us for a small retail outlet."
Stock is now $.05 - market cap 28.55 million. With the managements experience running Solo Liquor stores, does this seem like a good entry point, this would of course be risky and speculative as it is the Cannabis space, negative momentum etc, I am not looking to add a ton of money to this but maybe a 1% position, what are your thoughts on the company now? Recent update states they hope to have 25 stores open by end of 2019 and are focusing growth on Ontario now. Also, with Ontario possibly opening up liquor to private retailers this could be a play on that as well. Thanks for your advice.

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and team,
A BNN contributor recently said: "Natural gas will become the best performing commodity and this is clearly being seen by the sharp rise the NYMEX natural gas, as low inventories and colder winter weather affect demand."
Do you agree with this assessment, and if so, what stock(s) do you recommend to take advantage of this trend? Our only energy holdings are ENB and PKI.
Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: Happy Holidays to ALL at 5i,
I currently own FM at a higher cost than today. In a balanced equity portfolio would you own this stock? I don't want to exchange for another base metal holding and it is in a registered account so tax loss selling is not helpful. My question is more about potential. Do you think the weakness is about U.S./ China trade tensions, slowing Chinese economy or something specific with FM?
My preference is to hold on, but if you think this is dead money for years, then I would move on to another sector to prevent "lost opportunity" elsewhere.
Thank you

Q: You answered a question on ECN.PR.C I would like to ask a similar question about ECN.PR.A. It has dropped a further $3 since last Thursday. Do you see any particular weakness other than the general conditions you have answered on previous preferred reset questions? Is the share buyback of ECN common shares weakening the company's position of paying interest? Most of my resets have been called back at reset date and new stock issued at lower rates so I have not replaced them. Is that a possibility here and with the C's? (deduct what you feel appropriate)
Thank you and Best wishes for the Christmas Season

Q: Hello,
I currently own the mutual fund Trez Capital Yield Trust Fund in my portfolio. It pays an attractive yield of 8%. However, I understand that the parent company Trez Capital is currently winding down its operations. It is currently trading at $0.50 a share. Is my investment in the mutual fund secure or would you advise me to sell the fund and redeploy the funds?
