Q: I read today that there has been recent insider selling of AQN. In particular the Chief Legal Officer, Jennifer Tindale, selling off a large position. Would this concern you? I hold a small loss right now in a rather large position. At current selloff price would this be a buy/sell/hold in your recommendation?

Q: This is my margin portfolio, all position weightings are between 3%-5%.
The projected yield is 3.31% with a 3-5 year hold.
I realize 24 positions is a bit overkill but I can't seem to choose which to remove, which would you recommend?
What positions would you add to the portfolio?
Take as many credits as needed.
Thanks for the great service

Q: The US has taken a reversal on all things environmentally related, however it is also voicing a strong Buy American policy. How will this affect Canadian companies presently working in the US, or hopefully supplying to them?

Q: Question 1: Considering buying a few hundred shares of ADTX (NASDAQ). There seems to have been significant growth over the last year and since the company launched (2017), and I like the biotechnology space and don't have any positions here yet. Can anyone provide some insight for a beginner investor on this company? I have a 2-3 year timeline and am looking for growth, okay with some risk. Feel free to suggest some alternatives to ADTX if you have some.
Question 2: I'm interested in adding some clean / renewable energy stocks to my portfolio, specifically US companies but also open to Canadian. I've been watching AQN and BEP.UN, but perhaps I'm missing some interesting ones that will benefit from the US being back in the Paris Agreement (!!). What are your favourites in this space right now?
Question 3: I currently work in A.I., and I like NVDA as a clear leader in this space. Do you think their stock is over-priced currently? It's one of the most expensive stocks in the A.I. technology space and seems too high when compared to MSFT or other players. Can you rank your favourites in the A.I. space?
Thanks 5i Team, and happy new year to everyone!

Q: Hello!
I came across an article about Algonquin as being undervalued based on DCF model. However when screening it with Graham number the stock seems overvalued. The technical analysis seem to support that as well. What are your thoughts on that? With the change in the US administration, I am looking for a a long term exposure in unitalities market in both Canada and US. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Good morning,
Q1. Your thoughts on FAI ETF as a core holding in a RSP and/or TFSA account would be appreciated.
Q2. I currently hold in my RSP (US$) and TFSA some of the names held in the FAI ETF (AQN/BIP/PKI/BAM/EMA) and would appreciate your thoughts on each of these companies and whether or not it would make better sense in terms of risk and growth potential to simply replace each of these companies with an equivalent purchase of the FAI ETF.
Thank you.

Q: This is actually a followup question to your answer to Steve's question from earlier this morning.
I also hold a core position in TRP. Dividend investor. Intended to hold 'forever'. I'm 43.
I couldn't tell from your answer to Steve's question whether you view TRP as a 'BUY', 'SELL', 'HOLD' or 'GRADUALLY TRIM UNTIL DIVESTED'. You had previously opined that oil will likely subsist as a fuel source in demand for 20+ years. That would take me to age 63. What do you think is the likelihood that TRP continues to pay and grow its dividend for say, 50 years? I know given the time frame, this is a very difficult, speculative, predictive question, but your guess is better than mine. I don't want to hang on to this position only to have to sell it at a massive loss 20 years from now, but that is the scenario that appears to be gradually unfolding now.
I hold a fairly concentrated portfolio of 20 companies, equally-weighted, and each is selected with the intention of holding for their sustained, rising dividend payments in perpetuity. When this is threatened, either imminently or in the medium to long-term, I sell. I sold SU when they cut their dividend and am glad I did.
Given this context, should I exit TRP? If so, should I use the proceeds to start a new position in AQN? I already own FTS and EMA, would this be too much overlap or too much utilities exposure? If so, I am relatively light on Consumer Discretionary (only hold CTC.A in this sector and have been eyeing QSR - do you think a switch from TRP to QSR would make more sense?
Please deduct as many credits as necessary, this was actually *many* questions in one.

Q: Hi,
I purchased these utility and telecoms largely because of their low beta. In the recent downturn, they fell as much or more than hi growth stocks like SHOP, FB, AMZN or NVDA. AQN was down over 40%?? How do you account for that? Seems to me I'm better off ignoring 'safety' and going for growth?
