Q: In an earlier question ask by Clayton you responded “We do not formerly cover US companies except via our premium Investor Suite service”. I don’t find any link or reference to a premium investor suite under membership types, but I do see an “Investor Suite” tab on the left hand menu bar that seems to be inactive. Can you elaborate a bit about this service and how one would subscribe?

Q: Hi 5i,

XTR's January distribution looks like its gone down to $0.04/unit rather than $0.05. I can't find any info on it, wondering if any of your tools allow you to see - did they reduce the distributions permanently going forward or was Jan a 1-off?

If permanent, that would bring yield down to approx. 4.5%. I've got a sizable position in this for my retired mother, who lives off dividends and interest. Can you suggest a comparable ETF with slightly better yield? I've liked XTR in general as its pretty diversified, lots of bonds, has held very steady over time (yes I know a lot of return of capital too)...its been good for a retiree portfolio to pay groceries and property tax...

Thanks!
Ryan

Q: Hello Peter,
I would appreciate if you could compare and contrast MTZ and J from an investment perspective today. In light of the the US govt going 'big' on stimulus and spending; and the prospect of shift to growth at a reasonable price, how would you rank MTZ, J, TT and RTX with the best first.
Thank you in advance for your valuable opinion.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Do you know why it seems nobody can buy Topicus this morning? The bid/ask just keeps fluctuating between $61 and $67 even. But I can't submit a bid and it seems nobody else can because the bid/ask numbers just stay the same. Technical difficulties at the Venture?
