Q: Hello 5i

You are often asked if you could provide 2-3 "bargains" from the various portfolios - could you, given the current environment, provide
- 2-3 from the balanced / Income portfolios
- 2-3 outside of the portfolios (either Canadian or US please)
That you would consider a good opportunity to pick up at this time.

Thanks

Q: What's your take on Brookfield Business Partners? Its stock value has been just about cut in half YTD and is currently at 7 PE which seems stupidly cheap. But I know Brookfield's entities can't always really be judged on PE multiples Why has this stock been hit as if it's a high-flying tech? And if the market is deeply undervaluing it might Brookfield buy it out as it did its real estate entity?

What would your best way to participate in this shift.?

Q: lithium america getting pummeled today. Is there anything stock specific going on here or is it just a sour feeling on equities in general? I need more lithium exposure. I have a small position in E3 which is paid for (got a double so I sold half) but it is still really a concept since their extraction plant is still only a pilot project. LAC seems to be the go to name for pure play lithium exposure. Is the downside on LAC substantial in your honest opinion?

Q: A question earlier this year was what price would you consider this really cheap. You said anything below 3. Today it is close to 2 and may go below it this week. That said do you think it is a good time to sell for a tax loss. My worry is any good news would make this pop. Perhaps I'm wrong though and in this environment barely anything will make that happen. Historically what is more likely.

Q: Hi 5i,

I was looking forward to the US part of the answer to Aleem’s recent question.

Specifically, can I get your two top US picks for each of consumer cyclical, consumer defensive and industrials based on current valuation and long-term growth.

Thanks as always,

Kevin
