Q: I have held CNR and ALC for my transportation exposure for the last several years. I am not impressed with ALC's performance. Is TFII a good switch for ALC? TFII has had a good run and I am underwater on ALC.

Q: I don't think CPG's debt at 2.2 times cash flow is that big of an issue - VET and CNQ, for example, are at 1.7, so it seems to me to be manageable. They also hedge a fair amount of their production. I know management is in the penalty box, but it's trading at 2.1 times 2019 cash flow, which is ridiculous. This seems to be a "screaming" buying opportunity for patient investors. Thoughts?

Q: My question is 2 part.
I am a long term investor, ok with risk and fluctuations and no need for the cash anytime soon.
Ive read a few of your comments regarding some hesitation towards emerging markets. Would you sell out of VEE or do you see it doing something positive soon?
What do you think about buying into one of the trillion dollar companies now? I was hoping for a dip on Amazon, but that doesnt seem likely to happen. Do you have a favorite? Would you reccomend using the proceeds from VEE to do this or keeping VEE and using new money?

Q: Good afternoon 5i team
My wife and I are retirees and conservative investors. On the recent decline, I initiated a 1% position (in total) in the captioned gold stocks; it added diversification to our portfolio. Given that gold securities could suffer in a general market decline, I'm wondering if I should continue to add towards a 5% position now, or wait for further possible declines to increase our position. Thank you for your comments. Edward
