Q: 5i

Appreciate your comments in regard to the next USA President. What do you beleive the markets in general will do and what will happen with commodities, oil, gas and gold if Hillary gets elected or
if Trump gets elected. Some pundants Are saying gold will soar if Trump wins and markets will drop 20%. If Hillary wins then markets will be volatile as people do not trust the establishment.

Q: Hello 5i: Can you provide me with two Canadian ETFs equivalent to VIG and IWO.
I believe the foreign exchange rate + 15% withholding tax (clipped at source) + CAD dollar uptrend (It could happen), are sufficient reasons not to go US-bound
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
What would you do with First Solar given the factors behind its recent plummeting? Is it an outright sell? I can afford to take a 3-5 year view with it, if it makes sense to do so. I am down substantially on the position but it is in a registered account so there is no tax loss angle to it. Nominally I think of the holding as part of a relatively small speculative pool within my portfolio so there are no real sector balancing consequences one way or another. Grateful for any thoughts. Thanks!

Q: Given that Telus has been working closely with QHR; I had been wondering even before the Loblaw offer why Telus would not just buy QHR. Is Telus an aquisitive sort of company? What are the odds on a last minute offer from Telus? Is QHR worth more than $3.10/share?
Thank you for your honest advice and opinions
