Q: Hi 5i: I want to include a power utility in my portfolio. I already include the pipelines and am considering the attached list. Which of these would you recommend for a longish hold, with a focus on growth, income and of course stability. Are there other interesting names you can suggest? Many thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
I am puzzled and would appreciate your input. Aurora is making an official offer (no longer just a proposal) for $24 per share of Cannimed. Why is Cannimed's price stuck at 19-20 range? Any ideas as i would have expected by now the Cannimed to go up to atleast 24? If you owned Cannimed with book value of $15 would you simply bail at this point due to uncertainty or hang on with hope of $24 or put a stop loss at 18 or so. Your comments are appreciated. Thank you

Q: Hello 5i,
As always I appreciate your very valuable advice!!
Earlier in Nov. you commented on the demise of Sears and the impact on other mattress retailers. In the comment you indicated that the mattress market in general is shrinking. If this is true should I be concerned about holding Sleep Country for the longer term?
Thank you
Dave

Q: I have a position in ENB at $48. If you were selling a covered call on this security, what strike price and expiry date would you select?. The goal would be not to have the position called away. The pending clarification relative to future dividend increase rates is one element that needs to be considered.
Thanks!

Q: After your recent comment on CJT, I started to check out this company. The story sounds really good - near monopoly in overnight air shipping boosted by increased trend in online shopping - though as you say the stock is expensive. But I note that there has been massive insider selling over the past year. Is this just a routine part of share compensation or is this a red flag ?

Q: Hi. Can I have your opinion on Instructure (NYSE: INST), a US educational software company? I could not find any question on that company in the database. It provides cloud-based Learning Management Software (LMS) to institutions to administer and deliver online courses, track learning outcomes, teacher-student interactions, etc. They also a product targeted to corporations for training employees and developing skills. The stock seems to be performing very well. It is on my watch list and I am intrigued by it because I am a big user of LMS at my University. Thank you.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I have a bit of cash in an account that very closely tracks the "Balanced Equity Portfolio". My weightings in GUD and CLS are a bit light now due to their share's pulling back. Both stocks look cheap to me and tax loss selling season is likely helping to suppress them. I would appreciate your opinion of adding to these two names. Thank you for your sage advice. DL
