Q: Hello 5i, Could you comment as to why the operators of the Trans Mountain Pipeline would supply tanker loads of Canadian Oil to the US west coast refiners to replace Iraq oil. This oil is heavily discounted. I thought the purpose of the new pipeline was to obtain world price for Canadian oil and reduce the supply of discounted Canadian oil to the US. This new event is quite concerning for Canadian oil producers to achieve world price for there oil.

Q: I have both NTR and WFG in my TFSA. I would like to raise some cash, and am considering selling either or both of these. Which would you sell? Portfolio balancing is not a consideration.

Q: I am looking at putting together a medium to high risk portfolio of ETF's to generate above average returns (above 9-12%) over a 5 to 10 year timeframe for a portion (5-10%) of my overall portfolio. Sector diversification is not a major consideration in this portfolio of ETF'S, more the long term growth. If I were to pick 4 or 5 what would you recommend from this list or if you have a better alternative please suggest that. I am looking to equal weight into each of the ETF's. Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

Q: I'd like to assess the following group of ETF's I am considering purchasing from a conservative and safety point of view ...... HYPT has been used as the fixed income part of the portfolio . Please advise if this is appropriate and if not a suitable replacement ? The 5i income portfolio has Canadian preferred, convertible bond, and high yield US bonds for around a 15% weighting as the fixed income section ...... Please give a rating of between one and ten with one being the most " conservative and safe " for the following group of ETF's . I will assign the 5i income portfolio a four just so I can see how my choices rank against it using the criteria I suggested ...... Also everything I have chosen is a Hamilton product. Does 5i consider that problematic ? Thanks for your terrific service .....

FMAX 10%
HMAX 10%
QMAX 20%
HYPT 15%
SMAX 20%
LMAX 10%
HYLD 10%
HDIV 5%

Q: Dear 5i team.

I know these Qs are all asking for opinions, so appreicate your input on the following:

At what price does SPB look attractive for income and limited capital risk?

What % does Brookfield own of SPB and at what point do you think this gets cheap enough for them to take private?

What seems to be the problem with mgmt getting this business to achieve profitable growth, and create shareholder value?

Seems to me propane distribution and use business has many years of runway left in our lifetimes.

Appreciate your insights.
