Q: Looks like institutions are pulling funds out of the energy sector. Is this mainly due to the federal budget or are the millenials the new porfolio managers and do not care about investing in the energy sector.
Oil is still at $62 yet these company stock's are acting like oil is at $29
What is your opinion going forward?

Q: I hold Crius primarily for income. The sharp drop today though was a big surprise...despite knowing that Seeking Alpha is behind it and they could be spreading misinformation.
While I plan to continue holding for now I would like to be reasonably confident that Crius has been and is being responsible in managing dividend payouts. That information will be pivotal in deciding whether or not to buy more.

Would you please outline the “math” to support the fact that Crius. been fiscally responsible in this regard ....or not.

Thank you for helping out here.

Q: Hello to all at 5i:
Is there some proxy you can suggest to gain an alternative exposure to the telecom sector other than the traditional companies in the space? I own Telus common shares and Bell preferreds and don’t want to increase those positions but am still underweight the sector. I’m really not interested in owning “more of the same” in Canada (RCI.B) and really don’t want Vodofone, AT&T, Verizon or a U.S. telecom ETF (which I think will be largely the latter two companies?). All I really see are slowing revenues and slowing dividends and lackluster share performance. I’m having trouble identifying opportunities that fit my usual investment thesis in this sector. Is there another way to play it that I’m not seeing?
Thanks for your thoughts,
