Q: Hi 5i,
These holding are all in my RRSP, 12 months from retirement, I'm planning to sell 80% of TOI, LMN, NVDA (not now) waiting for "better time" if it's possible to catch it. Can I have 2 or 3 suggestions for income + a bit of growth.
thank you 5i for all your great work!!!

Q: Good Morning, I have some BNS which I purchased at $70.00. I'd like to add to it with the div rate being so attractive. I'm looking at a 3 year time horizon.

Has BNS ever cut its dividend? It did not appear to be the case when I looked over the past 40 years but please confirm if this is the case. Do you see any potential catalyst for it doing so? Thanks!

Q: Do you think conditions for Nat Gas to go higher from here over next 1-2 years is likely?

I currently hold position in PEY as my only nat gas exposure (2% weighting). Looking to increase that exposure for income and growth, so wondering which of BIR or TOU you would choose to hold over 2-3 year timeframe? Or, would positions in both, or perhaps another nat gas stock, make sense alongside PEY? Thx

Q: I have had the impression rightly or wrongly that you aren’t buying into the current narrative that interest rates might stay higher for longer? Just supposing they do stay elevated for some time, are there any companies in your universe that you may have been previously positive on whose debt levels might give you pause under the higher for longer scenario? I’ll use EIF just as an example. Is it something you could run a screen on just to highlight some companies that you think could bear a closer watch under such a scenario? It always seems to me that when a company has an issue (Nuvei being a recent example), it’s always a suddenly too high debt ratio that ultimately takes them down (or at least keeps them from recovering). Appreciate your thoughts as always.

Q: Dear 5i,
I was looking at many of the Canadian listed Property and Casualty insurers in it looked like the price appreciation for FFH was and extreme outlier at approx. 65% Total Return for the last 12 months. Can you help explain what they have done differently than the rest of group? I thought that with many of the natural disasters would put pressure on this group of stocks. I would really appreciate your comments.
