Q: Hi guys, what a day for Roku. Thanks for recommending that one. I currently hold roku, square, nvda, and docu. I was contemplating taking profits on a few of those winners and moving into other USA growth stocks. Can you give me your top pics at this time? I have a long term timeframe in mind. Thanks as always for your valuable advice.

Q: Hi 5i,

For my experience, once the bank had an issue with the U.S. Department of Justice, it will become in big big trouble for the coming ten to twenty years! Please see how the HSBC:US behave, and you will understand. It has been dropped from US$91 to US$21 from the past history, and the price now is even worst than the crisis 2008.

Q: good morning,

I'm reading a lot of rather breathless prose about the potential of 5G and am interested on your thoughts for the potential of this technology. The names that pop up include Apple, Qualcomm, Nokia, Siemens, Skyworks, Crown Castle ( I believe that may have been a 5i suggestion) and even ( gasp) Blackberry. What companies would you suggest are best positioned to take advantage of the projected growth, both US and Canadian. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter, I am intrigued after reading that a Canadian can earn about $50,000 per year of dividend income without paying any income tax. I know about your income portfolio of course, but with a view to maximizing just Canadian eligible dividend income, what would you think of the following portfolio of 14 stocks. Equal weighted, the stocks would yield 5.3%. (Disregard lack of market diversification; this can be achieved in one’s registered accounts.) Also, if one wanted to pare down the list to 10, which 4 would you delete?
BCE, CM, ENB, FTS, CNQ, AQN, CPD, FSZ, MG, KBL, POW, ALA, BIPC and NTR. Thanks!

Q: Hi,

Head scratcher.

Gatekeeper is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to $5 million (the "Financing") through the issuance of up to 5,000,000 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $1.00 per Unit. The stock price ended the day at 0.63.
What do you make f it? Do you think the investor or investors know something that has not yet been made public?

Q: Pason's current price and cash might look appealing to someone who doesn't have any exposure to oil in their portfolio. What are your thoughts on Pason at this time? Would you prefer a producer like Suncor or something midstream like Enbridge?

Q: Can you help us understand the value of holding an ETF such as VEE for foreign exposure and why it is highly recommended to own this ETF? Returns are low with high volatility. The ETF remains below 2018 levels when BABA and Tencent were ~30% less and they make up 12% of the portfolio. Maybe we are nuts but something seems amiss. Why not just buy BABA and Tencent instead? Are there other recommendations for capitalizing on Asian growth outside of China as we do not believe VEE is going to deliver returns for the expected growth in those regions.

Thank you for the great Service

Q: Hi,
In a previous question you responded:
" We would rank the banks: TD, RY, BNS"
Should I sell my BNS and swap for TD or RY? I've held it for years and basically just received the dividends.
Thanks
