Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: First, thank you for all your posted and individual guidance in 2025. It is very useful and comforting.

Fuel prices at the pump are now quite low and the Venezuela takeover has shocked the sector.

I am wondering about these 3 oil related stocks which have all dropped today. Do you see the sector going downhill and if so, what are the reasons, and whether or not a reversal of those same issues would lead to an increase in sector performance. Or is there any other new information on these stocks which could lead them to continue to slide.

Many thanks and Happy 2026 to your entire team at 5i.

Q: Any part of their business domiciled in the US gets taxed? Correct?

This has been the case with..."BROOKFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS L P UNITS MLP NON-RES TAX WITHHELD "

This is not happening with my BEP.UN also in my TFSA. These were both purchased in a CAD account I'm likely missing something obvious?

I must have missed something. Thank You

Q: May I have your thoughts on QIMC? I know it is high risk but is it more than a lottery ticket? It appears Jeff Bezos is purchasing exploration rights surrounding QMIC’s holdings. For Bezos it is a “rounding error” so I wouldn’t read too much into it. Are their Hydrogen grades very good and assuming the Hydrogen can be successfully collected how would they get the gas to market?
