Q: Hello 5i Team,

I have read your previous responses on Alternative Asset Management providers and particularly your thoughts on BN.

The above list of companies are likely to fall significantly in this down market and I was wondering at what prices would you buy and which are your favorites now.

Cheers and thank you in advance.

What will 5i rating for the Co, if you were to provide one ?

Q: If you own (cost basis) over $100,000 (I believe) of foreign stock, you need to fill out a T1135 form. My question is, if you owned EFTs for foreign companies, and purchased those EFTs on a Canadian market, will those EFTs need to be included on the T1135?

I know this is a tax question, but I hope it has an easy answer. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

I'm a conservative, almost 60yr old inverter who, last Friday, panicked and shifted about half of my portfolio into ETF bonds as a safer haven for now due to Trump's global tariff mayhem. Now, of course, I'm considering the unthinkable - Canadian inverse bear ETF's to try to get some money back from the crash. I may never have the nerve to do such a thing since I realize there is a high-risk gamble, no dividend and high fees involved. Is there anything else I should be aware of before I dip my toe into such extreme ETF's ?? Is it better to stay in CAD or shift to USD ?

Thanks - Nick

Q: Dear 5i team.

Would appreciate your updated views on PKI with the recent news that Simpson is taking steps to field 9 new board members.
What is your educated guess on how this plays out?
I see the chart indicating a bounce opportunity as it's trading back to levels currently that look like triple bottom to my non educated eye.

Appreciate your assesment.
