Q: I have farming friends who are telling me of a very serious drought not only in Canada but the US as well. I am wondering about holding this in my RRSP where I have a lot of US cash.I know you can't hold commodities there but this is an etf that holds commodities contracts. Because of that does this qualify as an eligible holding?

Q: Lifespeak, apparently going public over the next couple of days. Thoughts, worthwhile company in which to invest? Or just a trade, if one could get in at initial offering?

Thank you as always...

Q: Hello. I continue to see positive comments from 5i about growth potential for GSY. I would like to add it my financial sector but that would require selling one of my current financial stocks in order to maintain the assigned weight. Of the stocks listed can you put in order the stocks you might sell to a\quire GSY. Alternatively, does it make sense to keep the current stocks, which are all doing well and for the most part paying dividends and just add GSY, changing the weightng of the portfolio?

Q: I am drastically under invested in utilities. I presently hold the following - each is under a 1% weighting - AQN, ACO, BIPC, BEPC, BEP.UN, CU, and Fortis. Which would you sell? Which would you add to? All are in corporate non reg acct. Also want to increase my US and International exposure. Is there a reason not to do it in this sector?
Would appreciate US and International companies you favour. 5 year hold.
Thank you.
