Q: Hello 5i Team!

With STN and WSP recent quarterly results in which company stands to benefit most with the planned future infrastructure spend in the US? I know that both companies are liked by 5i, however, which company has the current edge for a long term investment for capital appreciation? I held Stantec in the past and moved to WSP on your previous recommendations in the Balanced Portfolio.

As always, thanks for the great service!

Q: i am still having difficulty understanding the klg situation, i took a position in klg.
the offer from silver standard is for 12.76 a share, they proposed this to klg 3 times and klg refused each time.
why would any shareholder vote for the merger of equals with the australian company which would do zero for the stock and keep the stock around 8 dollars-- it does not add up. please explain. dave

Q: Peter and Ryan,
I currently have equal exposure to BNS and TD in my portfolio. In light of the recent American election, would you sell the BNS holdings to buy more TD? (TD is acting much better post election). Both companies are held in my RRIF account.

Supplementary, if I wanted to add American Bank exposure, which ETF would you suggest adding to the same RRIF account?

As always, thanks for your much appreciated guidance.

Q: Hello Peter et al.

What is your opinion of the latest 3rd Q results released today? Looks like they did some additional hedging out to the end of 2017. Stella is now predicted to start by the end of this month. It had a nice run-up today in Canada but not much movement in the SP in the U.K. Hopefully it continues to go higher.

Regards,

Brendan

Q: Hello team, I have an opportunity to purchase some Bam Cumulative Minimum Rate Reset Class A Preference Shares, Series 46. Has a coupon of 4.8%. Is this something to consider for a retiree. What are the pitfalls if any and what should I be aware of when considering purchase of a preferred share purchase? How will interest rates either US or cdn affect the share price? How long should one hold onto the shares?
Thanks for the great service

Q: Hi Peter,
Any idea why Brookfield Infrastructure partners is going down? I was thinking of taking a full position of 5 % rather than diversifying with Stantec etc. Also, what is the reason for stocks such as Hudbay Minerals and Agrium to continue to go up and is this sustainable? I have noticed the canadian banks and insurance especially TD Bank and Manulife have gone up alot lately. Do you think it is time to trim them as they look over bought. Lastly, can you comment on why Ceapro and B2Gold are taking a hit. The big prediction was gold was going to go much higher after Trump, but all of a sudden, gold continues to experience declines. Thanks very much.
