Q: Hello,

If there is never another new pipeline built in Canada (which I feel is a real possibility), how would you view pipelines companies as long term investments going forward?

Regards,

Robert

Q: Just a followup comment to today's Q&A on Hamilton Capital Global Financials Yield ETF as I am interested in product for the global exposure it provides.

The HFY Fact sheets does have the ETF at 9.1% Canada and it also contains REITS at 6.1% and Insurance at 16%
It trades at 1.4x book, is that a concern and why might there be such a premium?

Thanks,
Craig

Q: Hi, I have recently purchased shares at around $14.50. However, the stock has been dropping consistently. Natural gas has been pretty low. What do you think the outlook for Encana and natural gas is? The ticker symbol is ECA.TO. It is a pretty high beta stock so it moves around quite a bit. Let me know thanks!

Q: I am new to 5i. I appreciate the candid views you offer your subscribers.

For those of us with smaller portfolios or those wishing to cap Canadian equity exposure to say 50% and unable add all 26 positions of your Balanced Equity portfolio what is your suggestion? I use ETS to gain USA/Int exposure and pick Canadian stocks for Canadian exposure.
Do you have a recommendation of say 12 positions for a TFSA with a 5 - 10 yr time horizon?
It is Canada so a couple obvious inclusions are a bank and insurance company followed by a myriad of sectors and companies?

Q: 47% of XEG is made up of Suncor and CNQ. Whereas the top seven holdings of ZEO are equally weighted around 7-9 % among energy companies.
Can you please provide your insight as to which of the two ETF's will rise more if and when the oil prices will rise? As well, which ETF you will recommend?
Thank you

Q: For the first few months of ownership I was making a few clams with this company but now I’ve been underwater so long I’m running out of air. Does current valuation suggest I might want to refill the tanks or should I just swim away.
It dropped substantially last year when the government announced it would grant a licence for 25 per cent of the total allowable catch of Arctic surf clam (taking away CLR’s monopoly). It seems to be falling today on the same news, except that the winner of that 25% allowance has now been identified. Is it an over-reaction?
