Q: Good day team, with current environment for context, and looking at tech/big data companies: Are there etfs (Canadian but with CDN/US/Global exposure) that cater to broad based tech. I feel once we are out of this, technology will play an even greater role in our lives and in industry, healthcare, security etc etc

Q: TFII: a lot of debt., low PR @ 25%, excellent ROE of approx. 22%, diversified company. I own nothing in this space. Everything is up a lot this week - who would have figured with all the negative media news (what's new)? They report later this month. I do not know a lot about this company? I assume transportation of goods, courier services etc.? Low fuel prices is certainly helping their bottom line as this would be a huge expense. 1000 shs would be a full position for me - maybe buy 500 now? Is the dividend safe (high debt.)?

Q: ENB vs PPL.....which would you prefer for a 3 - 5 year hold? Or half a position in each? Are the dividends safe? I'm looking for the dividend plus modest share price appreciation. Any other recommendations in this space?
Thanks for your help.

Q: I managed to miss the recent recovery as I was expecting the market to go lower. I'm now considering gold given the high amounts of government spending and possible inflationary pressures. May I have your thoughts on gold as an investment right now? In particular, the GLD etf? Thanks,

Q: I have been a holder of KEY for some time now. I have stayed with it as it went from a darling to a dog. It's current ratio and debt to equity ratio are not good and the price of nat gas is very low. Today they announced the temporary closing of 4 plants to consolidate operations. I think they are a good management team but am beginning to wonder why I'm being so faithful. Can I get your perspective. Hold or sell?

Q: Hi 5i Team. Question(s) for you on the ETF HPR as it relates to taxation. This summary was taken from my recently received T3. On the T3 summary in the first column it indicates, on a monthly basis a total distribution of $352.14. The $352.24 is broken down as follows: 2nd column on the T3, indicates a return of capital or foreign tax paid of $18.81. The 3rd column on the T3 then states the actual non-elig.div or actual elig.div or foreign tax paid of $344.63. Should I assume that the $344.63 is actual elig. div for the Canadian Dividend Tax credit? Please deduct number credits as required. Thx Steve.

Q: Hi

I know you have recommended this in the past based on valuation and it has recently rebounded almost 100% off the lows.

As someone with a 5 year+ time horizon, but concerned about capital preservation, is this a good place to be right now

My concern is that if people are struggling to pay bills, rent, buy food, these loans will fall first.

A secondary concern given the present environment is government intervention to reduce the interest rates GSY can charge which would fundamentally impact the business.

Thoughts?
