Q: I have a large position in BIP. I count on the income and the growth in distributions for my retirement. I was wondering if I should be concerned about their recent dealings with Brazil. Are they protected somehow or did they get such a good deal that the problems there can't hurt them. Can the involvement with brazil jeopardize the distribution in the short or medium term?

Q: Good morning,
Are there any studies or perhaps form your own experience, that have determined a general optimal balance between equity and fixed income allocations over time for someone who doesn't want to keep re-allocating asset mix. Is it 60:40 equity , 65:35 etc....?

Thank you

Q: I would appreciate your comments on HLF. Is the debt straining the balance sheet, is the dividend well covered? I would be quite happy to earn a nice yield and enjoy a recovery in their business in 3-5 years. But if their business is failing I want no part of it.

Q: The above stocks and 1 ETF comprise my base metal holdings. Performance of several ( LLG, NMX, ALB, TV) has been dismal since purchase. I bought thinking that it was a good time in the business cycle to own commodities, with a slant towards lithium as you can see. The dollars invested in total are less than 3% of my portfolio. I am prepared to hold if the companies are performing adequately, but would appreciate whether you would consider any of the above sells or “not necessary to own” as you have coined in the past. Would it be preferable to sell all and buy Teck Resources? Thank you kindly for your consideration of this question and please deduct as many points as appropriate for such a lengthy list.
