Q: I was surprised and now curious as to how come BIP. UN is listed as a utility and BIPC.CA is listed as a financial services? I thought that they were identical except for the structure.
Your comments would be appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i:
Just a comment for Mark who asked about a good way of arranging a charitable donation of SHOP shares with a big embedded capital gain. He might check out the CanadaHelps.org website as they facilitate this sort of thing, have a very broad range of charities to donate to, and make it relatively easy. It is flexible so with something like SHOP you could donate several shares and distribute it to a number of different charities, one share apiece if you want to. The tax receipt is great because it is for the full market value of the shares at the moment of the actual transfer and comes electronically from CanadaHelps. There is no tax on the capital gain that you are giving away. You can share your contact info with the recipient organizations, or not if you’d prefer anonymity over junk mail.
Cheers for the giving!

Q: Hi Peter,
Like many, I'm interested in possibly buying a couple of stocks that have been hit by COVID but that should recover well when the world gets back to normal. However, I want to do this in a conservative way - with larger, stable companies with low debt and strong balance sheets; assured 'survivors'. Can you please suggest six North American stocks (other than banks) that I might consider. And would you see CGI (GIB) qualifying under those terms? Thanks as always.

Q: I kept my TSGI shares as I think the company has good prospects. I tried to update my Watchlist by entering LSE - FLTR and was told it did not exist. After some experimenting I was told it is now Flutter Entertainment Plc OTC:US under the symbol PDYPY. If this is so, how would I calculate what my 1000 shares are worth? Many thanks

Q: I kind of knew that Fnv was a no risk or low risk way of investing as itsRoyalties . However it was very surprising that it had over 100 % return . more to the point is the CEO of Fnv on BNN was very positive about its future .
I don't recall much about thison 5I what appears to be an attractive low risk with good upside.
Appreciate your advice
