Q: Peter,
Thanks to 5i we purchased CSU shares some years ago. As of close of business yesterday the shares had risen 510%. (I sold some shares last year when the weighting became to high). Now Mr. Rosen is predicting a crash or a recession. He seems to be counselling selling shares to raise cash. However why would I sell my hard won shares because of Mr. Rosen’s predictions? Investors need to think of themselves as owners of a business not “riverboat gamblers” going to get rich quick. I can assure the members that the officers of CSU are not selling their shares because Mr. Rosen is calling a market top. I once read somewhere that making predictions is a bit like spitting into the wind - you got to accept there will be a little spit on the toe. In Mr. Rosen’s case he seems to be going for a “spit polish” - maybe on both shoes!
Thanks for all you do
Jim

Q: 6:21 AM 4/26/2018
I own in excess of $100K in a combination of BEP.UN and BIP.UN bought on the TSX in Canadian Dollars in cash accounts at both TDWaterhouse and at Scotia McLeod. This year TDWaterhouse issued a statement of Foreign Ownership. Scotia McLeod did not. My accountant phoned Scotia McLeod and Scotia said they are both Canadian Companies so are not considered to be foreign so a T1135 form is not required. Can you clarify this issue please
Thank you........ Paul K

Q: Hello 5i Team,
My question is regarding the iShares Core MSCI Canadian Quality Dividend ETF. It hasn’t been around for very long and with less than 2 dozen holdings, it’s a rather concentrated fund. What do you think of MSCI’s quality screen? Would this be an appropriate core holding in a Canadian income portfolio?
Additionally, for funds with short histories such as XDIV, how much consideration would you give to the calculated historical performance of the underlying index published by companies such as MSCI, WisdomTree, etc. Are they a reliable tool in evaluating new funds?
Thank you!

Q: I see that you recommend holding onto Enbridge preferred shares. Do you recommend the same for common shares? Im down about $2 on them right now, but have many years to sit on it and collect using the DRIP.
Q: Follow up to my previous question...
You mentioned WCN has more economic sensitivity than people think.
Does that mean economic sensitivity as a positive (example, business will improve as the economy improves; or economic sensitivity as a negative cuz rising interest rates will hurt WCN's balance sheet?
Thanks.

Q: Needless to say, as a shareholder since the 1980's, I was less than pleased to see the LEON family trust battles as front page news in Saturday's Fin Post. I suppose this sort of issue was inevitable, but it should really have no effect on day to day operations, correct? It's a "quiet" stock to begin with and now I know why the share price has been languishing, but it just enhances my DRIP's.
Q: I've read that tjis conpany is significantly undervalued and it's shares have the potential to double in value by the end of the year. What are your thoughts?
