Q: Hi team,

What do you make of the news today? Would you see this as an opportunity for a first purchase?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i. Is there a difference between what US producers are receiving and what Canadian producers are receiving for natural gas. I watch BNN and I think on the top right hand side they state a natural gas price but I think this is for US producers not Canadian producers. Which if true, is misleading I think. Where would you recommend that I look for the daily price of natural gas for Canadian gas producers. .

Q: Just read an article on Nano One which intrigued me. What is your current thinking on NNO? thanks, as usual

Q: Are you seeing anything news worthy to account for the move last two days?

Q: Good morning 5i:

I successfully bailed on all tech stocks sometime ago and have been thinking about re-entering. How would you rate NVEI and LMN for long term growth? Would you start a position in either at this time?
Thank you.

Q: I would like to take some profits from WSP and add to my existing dividend positions such as ENB, RY, SLF, Telus or TRP.

Q: Hi 5i,

May I please have your current thoughts on EV makers other than Tesla (which I already own)?
Are companies such as Rivian, Lucid, BYD, Nio etc. (or any others you can suggest) worth investing in as a stock?
Multiple questions here, but if you could give a brief breakdown of the more viable companies and their investment merits (or not) that would be great.


Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,
With the commercial vacancies, lenders just walking away from commercial properties abandoning payments, with working from home becoming the norm and with commercial property tenants and owners defaulting in payments, is dir.un still an investable REIT or should I take my small prfit and run? I have a 5-10 year outlook, am an older value investor enjoying the dividends. If there is a suggestion to sell would you suggest an alternative please

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Can you please compare Pembina to TC Energy? Pembina seems to have been more conservative in terms of leverage and have a similar yield and a pretty range bound stock versus TRP which just keeps sliding.

Pembina seems to have some good strategic growth ahead of it here and TRP makes me wonder if they are chasing shiny things instead of what works and I wonder if they have the money to fund these projects.
Thoughts?

Q: If oil were to get above $80 plus what would your top 3 producers be with high leverage to barrel price? Would Saturn be a strong consideration?

Q: Peter,

Please indicate the general overall differences between the FTSE, MSCI & STOXX indexes. I realize there are many sub indexes for each these. I am not requesting any info on those. I am looking only for a macro summary and your order of preference for a conservative retail investor.

Thank you,

Paul

Q: Dear amazing 5i employee,

I trust that you are well!

An analyst at 5i noted (in answer to one of questions) that there are dozens of trading opportunities available in the market right now. Would you be able to list some of those opportunities? By trading opportunities I mean simple trades (buy low, sell high).



Yours kindly,
David

Q: NBLY is definitely the sorriest holding that I have. Down basically every week since early March.

Has not moved 1 iota in the face of the current market upswing.

Although you guys continue to tout their great earnings outlook in 24 and 25, others, I'm sure have the same info.

There must be a reason for this sad state of affairs with NBLY.

Can you comment please.

Q: Supposing that an investor had three registered accounts of roughly equal size that they wanted to change from equity ETF's to a fixed income allocation for their portfolio, and these accounts would have to be converted to RIF's in 6 years. Let's also assume that we get one or two more small rate hikes this year, then interest rates flatten and begin to come down slowly over the following several years. Which of three options would you choose on a risk/reward basis? 1. Just hold money market funds currently paying 4.5%+ 2. Barbell XSB and XLB using two accounts, and put XBB (or ZAG) in the third (avg. yield close to 3 %? with potential cap. gains) 3. Put TLT in all three, yield close to 3%? maybe highest potential cap. gain? With the BOC policy rate going up close to 5 points since the start of 2022 the bond funds above fell anywhere from 10%+ to 30%+. Does that imply that if the BOC rate went back down 2.5% that they would rise 5%+ to 15%+, or you can't make that kind of straight line assumption? Maybe there is a way better option, but I don't really want to tie up funds in GIC's and don't want to try to pick individual bonds either. I also considered something like PSA but no cap gain upside there and the money markets probably pay as much interest or more. Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Can you please give me an updated report on SKIN.
