Q: Hello 5i,
I have a diversified portfolio with over 60 companies and am thinking of buying Brookfield Global Infrastructure Securities Income Fund (BGI.UN). What do you think, there's not much information on the fund?
Thanks,

Q: Hello 5i,
My current portfolio consists of:
BX:US, COP:US, PXT, HWO, TLA, SYZ, VCM, PHM, DND, XTC, and RDX.
I like to keep a fairly concentrated portfolio and generally stick to smaller cap stocks. Assuming I am fairly equal weight between all of the above names, which would you (if any) recommend adding too today? And is there another small cap name that you think may fit nicely in this list to provide good growth/value and maybe a little diversification at the same time?
Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
In my TFSA account, I have allocated $20k in tranches of $5k to invest and the rest is in an easily accessible account Premium savings PSA ETF. I have already invested in FRU (Royalties) and DHX (Media) and thinking of investing in ET (Technology) and Morneau Sheppell MSI (Human Resources). I'm not trying to hit the ball out of the park in terms of returns and, by the same token, have a good diversification.
Thanks as always,
Tony

Q: Hi 5i,

I've been tracking a few thinly traded stocks for my RSP. Could you rank the following in terms of growth and stability for long term (10+ years)? LGT.B, ALC, KBL, CSW.A. I am particularly partial toward LGT.B. Do you think that this would be the type of company a pension or private equity could eventually scoop up? Thanks!
