Q: Further to Glen's question regarding Apple making up 50% of BRK's portfolio, is it not 50% of its 'public-market' holdings, but if you included its fully-owned holdings, such as Geico, its Class-A rail holding, along with its vast re-insurance business, that the Apple holding, in and of itself, drops substantially in weighting?

Q: Hi 5I:
On April 29 PHIL asked about a pipeline company. I think he is looking for Tidewater midstream and Tidewater renewables.
Thanks, BEN.

Q: Your comment on the tax issue regarding Ed’s question today regarding selling ENB to buy another pipeline is bang on. There are several considerations: for a stock to rise 25% to make the switch profitable is quite a challenge and may take years to accomplish ; the 2% differential in yield between ENB and PPL is a ( almost guaranteed) benefit received every quarter, not down the road when sold ; higher growth does not necessarily mean higher share price. Trades like this should only occur when something fundamentally and significantly has negatively happened to the company as many stocks in a sector correlate quite closely to one another. Please shot holes in my discussion. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi,
We own both Atd (3% position)and PKI (1% position). Which is the better company going forward? I am thinking about selling PKI and buying more Atd and maybe also adding to ENB(2% position) All these companies have had sizeable pull backs. Just trying to figure out what has the best potential going forward. No tax implications.
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: I just asked a question about BIZD for RRIF income. In addition, what are you thoughts on LVHI? Would you recommend both or recommend a USD dividend stocks instead?

Thanks again.

Q: Good morning; I read an article in the G&M on the weekend regarding the remote possibility (should Trump win) that they may change how the US Fed operates; affecting its independence and role as the world currency.

Crazier things have happened and with 50% of my investments in $US it got me wondering - if the US Finaincial system were subject to such change, which currency could/would replace it? I’d be interested in your view of the likely top 3.

Thanks very much,

Dave

Q: While Disney is a great company is it a great stock? I am down considerably on the stock as video streaming... have not met my expectations. Do you have any alternatives in this sector that would upgrade my portfolio or would you stay with Disney?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: I have no exposure in any of these companies. Would you suggest I buy a basket of a small amount of each or could you recommend one or two for a non registered portfolio.
Appreciate your advice.

Q: Greetings: This question is not only directed to 5I but also to any members who own Neighbourly Pharmacy CVR'S. My cvr's were removed from my self directed RBC account. RBC can't supply me with an explanation as to where they went. I have tried to phone Persistance capital- left three messages- with no return call. Anyone have any suggestions? thanks BEN.
