Q: Greetings 5i team,
I am looking to sell my shares in IPL (hopefully at a higher bid than currently offered by Brookfield Infrastructure) and replace them with another pipeline company. I can either add to my current position in ENB, or put the money into TRP. Can you please compare the balance sheet strength of both companies, future growth prospects, and dividend growth prospects? ENB recently raised its dividend by 3%, while TRP raised its dividend by 7%. Is TRP the better income stock moving forward? I'm a long-term investor with a 10-yr + investment horizon.
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Hey 5i,
Say that you are a “very aggressive growth investor/trader” using a commission-free brokerage and a stop loss strategy to mitigate risk to make sure you are far from the last one out when a downswing/correction/crash happens.

1) What would be your current top 15 highest conviction aggressive picks that you think would appreciate the most in 2021 (USD and CAD), regardless of any other considerations like sector weightings.

2) On businesses that you are most comfortable with (GOOG, AAPL, MSFT) what would be the highest weighting you’d be OK with? The stop loss strategy to mitigate risk applies.

Please deduct the appropriate credits, thanks !

Q: To me, inflation is a super irritating economic phase, it's the neighbours calling the police because everyone was having too much fun at your party. Trillions of (COVID) dollars have been injected into the global economy with more on it's way, rising interest rates are on the distant horizon, I don't want to be caught off guard. What's the best way to position my portfolio to reduce the negative effects of this trend?

Q: Hello 5i Team. First of all thanks for the report on MG. I bought a nice position and the next day saw it go up by >9%. Cheers to you for that!

I have a question for you about two metals stocks I held in December but sold to pursue a bigger stake in FCC which has paid off nicely. Now that I am adding more to RRSP for income tax purposes I am looking at getting back into some metals or mining stocks.

I sold XBM at 16.02 in December and now see it at 18.00, would you buy at this price? I sold KNT at $8.49 and now it's on sale for $6.56. Any recommendations to get back into either stock or alternatives in the metals sector? My investment timeframe is 20+ years and medium risk. Thanks.

Q: There are no previous questions on CNHI. Can you provide your opinion on CNHI and their potential over the next five (5) years? The stock has been rising, they recently posted solid quarterly results, and look to be involved in many new technologies for electric heavy equipment and long haul trucks. Overall, the equipment EV space looks to have a lot less hype than consumer vehicles but may still have a lot of potential for growth. Would you agree with that statement and who do you think is leading in the EV equipment arena?
Thanks

Q: I can only afford to purchase one of these 2 stocks. I realize that they are completely different businesses, but in your opinion which one of these 2 stocks has the better outlook for the next 2-5 years. I hear that the PYR stocks is set to open shortly on the Nasdaq but not sure if that would improve it's outlook. Tnx much for all the great work.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Would you attribute Algonquin's 'relative weakness' compared to Brookfield Renewable Partners due to Algonquin's Texas exposure? Is Fortis in a similar situation as Algonquin? Please rank these stocks, with a rationale for your choices. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i
Today on BNN it was suggested that SU has had a large investor selling in the past week and perhaps that has now finished and this is contributing to SU share price recovery today. Do you know who the seller might have been? Also, heard a rumour that CNQ and SU are looking to merge. Have you heard this and would you consider it to be good for both companies? Thanks
