Q: What's your view on the idea of opening up Canadian Banking to more competition and the effect it will have on their share prices. Will they still be a 'go to' for Canadian investors or do you anticipate a sharp decline? Great service, thanks.

Q: Hi 5 i Team - Although I still like Tourmaline I am considering trimming my position and using the proceeds to buy something else in the oil and gas sector but with more growth potential. First of all am I right in considering Tourmaline an income type of stock with little growth potential. Secondly could you provide a few O&G suggestions for growth, preferably mid cap and small cap but also large cap if you think it would fit into this theme. Thanks.
Q: I have decided I need to put more resources into income funds and wonder what you think of the three etf’s mentioned. Currency conversion is not an issue.
Thanks for your thoughts, Lesley
