Q: I noticed in one of your answers today you indicated the TSX Index is roughly 17% energy. I thought people should understand that this figure includes pipelines, midstream companies, uranium, and for some reason, Parkland. I looked at the XIC holdings today and added these up, and these non-producers make up roughly 8% of the TSX Index. The XIC energy weight as of Mar 8th is listed as 16.6%. That means the O & G producers make up about 8.6% of the TSX Index. A bit lower after today.

Q: Do you see any second derivative opportunities to the current bull market in commodities? More specifically, are there any tanker shippers you favour in this environment, like NAT and TNK, or dry bulk shippers, like DSX or SBLK? With the possibility of a reinvigourated US oil and gas industry, what are your views on service companies such as HAL, SLB, and BKR? Thanks.

Q: I was a holder of equity precursors of GROY:US (it's the amalgamation of multiple entities) and am well aware of the previous companies, holdings, streaming positions etc. I am surprised to see it's downward trajectory in the face of strong Au pricing and the upward movement (now) in gold stocks. Could you provide some insight into what might be causing GROY:US to be drifting down at this time?

Q: Looking at these for my TFSA and for me it’s a tough call. GSY is getting more reasonable price wise but could rising interest rates hurt it ? MG is
cheap but supply chains are clogged and materials getting scarcer and more expensive.
Which would be your pick and why ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: Hi, I see the demand case for PBH.to. But I'm cautious on the company because I don't understand how inflation might eat their lunch (bad pun). Do they have any fingers in the food production, or are they just a taker of input prices? If so aren't their margins going to get squeezed here as meat and grain input costs rise? I'm guessing there is a limit to how much they can raise their prices to stores before the demand side?

Q: Could you please comment on this new fund. There is quite a difference in the price of the series and ETF, could you explain. It's not showing a dividend yet, but on their site it says it has a target distribution of 5%. Would this be an appropriate fund for an income investor, or do think just buying a few Co.'s would be better? If so which ones? What do you think of Nine Point Energy, and would you agree with Eric Nutall's comment that the party in oil and gas has just begun, despite the large gains we have seen recently? Thanks so much for your service.

Q: I am new to 5i and signed up for a trial membership. Looking at your various portfolios, there is a note at the top which show changes - x% added to ABC, My question is where is the money for that purchase coming from? Is it supposed to be new cash deployed or selling an existing holding for new purchases. Please elaborate.

Basically, I want to know if I have to keep in sync with a recommended portfolio, how do I go about it on an ongoing basis.

Do you send an update via email when a change happens?

Q: Wondering what 3 or 4 Canadian stocks you would choose to buy in a non registered account now, waiting for a full economic re opening and a settlement on the Russia -Ukraine conflict?
Seems energy, financials and materials are at highs. Tech is beaten up.
MG and SHOP come to mind. Any others you would suggest?
Thanks
jeff
