Q: Hello 5i:
I am thinking of replacing AQN in my TFSA as I feel the company has become stagnate lately and I have a 50% profit from owning it since 2014. I have been thinking AQN and buying either PPL or TRP.
Can you rate which pipeline you like best and why? Or, would you stay with AQN?

Q: Can you please clarify for me the following:

In terms of dividends, there is an "ex-dividend date", and a "pay date".
If one owns shares as of the ex dividend date and sells before the pay date, does one collect the dividend anyway?

Appreciate your help.

Q: Thanks for the wonderful service. I owe Antero Midstream. It has recovered quite a bit I am still down about 6%. My other Oil stocks are even worst hit with Suncor down 27% and VET 42%. These are the only holding in Oil. Are we near the top of the hill on Oil prices. Should I cut the loss on AM or is there still room to run. If I cut the loss can you provide any suggestion to play the Oil or stay away for now. Holding period is not a constrain and everything is in registered account so no tax consequences

Q: What are you thoughts on thermo fisher for a long term hold. It seems like the magna of health care industry providing products for making drugs without the risk of drugs going of patent . They also make some drugs on limited runs for companies. How do these companies do in a rising interest rate world if that does come to pass.

Q: what are your thoughts on thermo fisher at current prices for a long term hold. I would like some health care exposure without drug specific concerns.
It seems to me that Thermo is the Magna of pharma and biotechs is that a fair comparison ?
As they produce all the products necessary and even produce drugs in small batches for some pharma companies.

Q: Hi,
So at this point do we just assume SNAP is technically 'broken' for now? Better to salvage some capital and move on to a better opportunity? My guess is this earnings miss and selling on heavy volume would indicate a long road ahead to repair the current technical damage - but I would appreciate your thoughts on whether to hold or sell SNAP.
Thanks!
Dawn
