Q: Hello 5i,

What would be your top 10 stocks or ETF's (Canada or US) to purchase today for a 3-5 year hold? It is OK to say "wait" a little longer and not suggest any stocks.

Thank you

Jerry and Debbie

Q: Recently started position in SMH. Read yesterday that , in addition to other current headwinds, 70 % of neon - a component in semi-conductor manufacturing - comes from Ukraine. And , while other industrial gas companies could eventually take up production , the question is how soon and at what cost.
How would you assess this as an additional negative impact on the sector ?

In terms of stability, safety of dividends and overall company fundamentals (and thanks to the answer you provided to the Emera question as per Globe and Mail), would it be fair to rank from best to worse as follows: FTS, BEP.UN, H, AQN, and than EMA? Thanks very much.

Q: Good morning,

As some of my rate reset preferreds are being recalled, I have been looking for replacements with more term. One that looks attractive is MFC.PR.Q. It pays a dividend of 4.7% until June 2023. The price has dropped from $25 to under $24 in the last 5 days increasing the yield to almost 5%. I have noticed that preferreds have been volatile lately. Is there anything wrong with this one?

Q: I have been seeing a gradual price loss with some of the example preferred stocks I hold shown above.
With the continuing disaster going on in Ukraine and its inflationary impact, should I expect this to further reduce valuations for these types of investments as interest rates rise?

Q: Good Morning,

I have recently retired and need to improve yield. The above noted holdings have a low yield or have not performed well.

Can you please rate from first to sell down to last to sell and possibly provide some basic reasoning.

Thanks very much.
