Q: Hi 5i,
can you help suggest some US and CDN, ETF's and Mutual funds that are worth doing further research on if one might be interested in investing a small portion in the distressed debt sector. Thanks

Q: I am looking at adding exposure to Renewables. I know you like Brookfield Renewable at current pricing, do you also like Northland Power at current prices. Is there another name you like in this space?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Any reason why BIP.UN's unit price today took such a big dip?

I noticed three fairly large trades, two today (311.4K at 9:30am and 133.6K at 3:30pm) and also one yesterday before closing (84.5k at 3:30pm). Some major holder(s) decided to exit, or what's the story? Today's total volume at 1.25million shares is also well over the daily average of 250K.

Know anything that happened? Thanks.

Q: Trying to decide between Topicus and Lumine for a long-term growth portfolio here.
I am digging into both, and finding that Lumine gets around a third of revenue from an acquisition they made called Wideorbit. Wideorbit gets almost all of its revenue from ad selling into radio stations, local TV and National TV networks.
I guess I am worried about how this business model can work long term (my teenagers never watch traditional TV or listen to radio, and cord cutting is quite prevalent apparently). Does this high percentage of revenue worry you in terms of Lumine going forward? Thanks

Q: Is the complexity of the Brookfield group of companies (if you see their organizational chart from and SEC prospectus) troublesome? or is this typical for companies nowadays. My concern is I remember the complexity and inter-twining of the previous Hees-Edper companies which spawned Brookfield. Are there any red flags?

Q: Hello, we have a full position in CNQ (5%) and SU & TOU (3% combined). We also own ENB (6%). We are considering to reduce our weighting in Energy sector. We like CNQ and ENB, for their respective merits, at the two ends of the spectrum being Growth and Income and relatively stable history of stock performance. If you have to choose to sell/trim between SU and TOU, what would be your approach - Equally trim from Both or Sell one of them in full ? Based on current and likely scenario of Oil and Natural Gas prices and their balance sheet and growth/income prospects.

Thank You

Q: This question concerns the materials sector in a well-diversified Canadian portfolio (~30 holdings), focused slightly toward growth. Our target is for a 5% weight in this sector.

Currently the sector is underweight at a 2.5% allocation with NTR being the only holding. We are open to either doubling up on NTR or adding an equal amount of SJ. Which would be your preference and why?

For each of NTR and SJ Please rate (1-10) in terms of your conviction to buy today, along with suggested target buy range [great, okay].

Q: There is much speculation and commentary that we are either in a recession or will be in a recession in the next 6 to 12 months. I know it is impossible to predict timing or if we will in fact experience a recession but can you provide your view on how the markets react through a recession cycle, i.e. heading into and during a recession. Can you include the sectors that perform well during the cycle.

Thanks
Tim

Q: What are your views on Peller's most recent earnings? To me, they look horrible, and I'm wondering if I should just salvage my tax loss and move on. That said, the price is probably at the lowest of the low. How much patience should one extend to the turnaround possibilities?
