Q: Hi,

Could you please tell me your thoughts on HTO.UN - Global Water Solutions Fund. I know its low volume and is a relatively new fund. But it pays a decent dividend and I'm one who believes that water will become an increasingly scarce and valuable resource in the future - so looking for a way to enter this space for a very long term hold.

Could you also tell me your thoughts on how this fund compares with CWW and if you would have a preference between the two? And do you have any thoughts on investing water related companies/funds in general?

Thanks for your great service!

Q: I was wondering if there is an ETF for U.S. infrastructure? Would prefer to buy in Canadian dollars if possible. Thank you for your excellent service over the past year and happy holidays to everyone there.

Q: Dear 5i Staff,
I would like to participate in the energy price recovery and the expected new US Administration favorable bias toward energy companies.
My question is it better to invest in Canadian or US energy companies now
Which of these stock you favor: Duke, Exxon, Chevron or maybe an ETF is better. Any other suggestion.
Thank you and best wishes for the season.

Is my strategy makes sense.

Q: Hello Team,
I was reading a recomendation on ING-N recently which seemed favourable.
It indicated that ING was well capitalized, had a yield of 5.5%, a PE of 10 and that it was vallued at less than tangible book value,sounds ok to me.
I get that it is not something you would normally follow but any comments/insight would be appreciated. That is bescause your feedback is always balanced and astute!
thanks so much.

Q: Hi team,
following the company,s issue of close to a million shares due to the exercise of options, OPEC and non-OPEC members to cut oil production,would you recommend purchase of Ithaca,s shares as a good entry price or are the shares overvalued at the moment. With Stella scheduled to be operational would this add to the further rise in share prices?
Many thanks and a Merry Xmas season to all.
Jean C.

Q: Fairfax, has been extremely weak lately, near yearly lows. Yet, they have unwound I believe half of their hedges against the S&P falling, sold off many of their bonds, and they are in the Insurance business. To me, it would appear that they are in a much better position now, than what they were just a few months ago. In your opinion why is Fairfax so weak currently?

Q: Good morning, I am very interested in purchasing shares of Rogers Sugar Inc. They have a good dividend yield and a relatively low PE ratio. I am worried that the stock has had a good run over the last 12 months and may be time for a pull back and if the dividend is sustainable. Your thoughts on this company would be greatly appreciated.
