Q: Hi 5i: I have WCP, TOG and VET in my TFSA and RIFF accounts and I am down at least 50% for each. Would you consider averaging down for each? I will most likely carry each company up to 5-7 years. When do you think would be a good time to buy?
Thanks, James

Q: B of C has held rates however outlook is projecting perhaps a further rate cut. Household debt load is at an all time high, with little or no margin available for emergency requirements.
Personally I cannot help that a Day of reckoning is coming, as debt servicing for majority of Canadians is coming to a bubble, similar to the 2007-2008 crisis. When home values become an ATM, debt levels only increase further.
What is 5i opinion of this going forward, and if this does occur, would this be the catalyst for the next financial crisis.
Thanks Rick

Q: 2 questions:
1. What are your thoughts on the news about Encana moving to the US? Do you agree it creates additional opportunities for the company and see it as positive news

2. they say under the deal, shareholders receive 1 share of the NewCo for every 4 shares of Encana. If I own 101 Encana shares, I would get 25 shares of NewCo, but what about the remainder? Is it returned in cash?

Q: Would you agree with the below?

Message to Shareholders (VAT)

The third quarter of 2019 continued to be an exceptionally difficult period for energy investors, as the upstream oil and gas sector traded down to multi-year lows and significantly underperformed the broader equity market. Vermilion was not spared. Our stock price declined over 30% during the quarter, bringing our current dividend yield to approximately 14%. While we are certainly disappointed with our share price performance, we would like to stress that Vermilion's dividend policy is not based on the market price of our shares. Our dividend policy is based on the fundamental economic sustainability and free cash flow generation of our business, which remains strong.
Is this statement typical of the expected ?
As per cash flow, their approach dividend and fundamental, at current oil and gas prices how would you rate the dividend sustainability ?
thanks

I already own a position in KL and was looking to either split the position and put the other half in a small cap gold. Which would you recommend? I was thinking ASR or WDO - or is there a better option than these 2 names?

Thank you!
