Q: I am a "buy and hold" long term investor. I have held these stocks for over five years on the assumption that at least one of the pipelines would be built and the stocks would regain at least some of their losses. Of course that hasn't happened. With the Covid-19 situation I am concerned about a serious downturn in the economy during the next 18 months. As these stocks are already extrememly low, I am wondering if they will survive, let alone improve, during the next year or so. Based on income, debt levels, and future prospects, please rank each company according the possibility of failure.

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks for the great work. I’m seeing a number of questions on inflation, and gold and silver exposure. In today’s economic environment where resource needs are very low, do you see opportunity to start adding positions in Teck or XME to position for the economy to come back online, and build in an inflation hedge?

Thanks in advance. Timing is such a challenge right now where being too early, is the same as being wrong.

Q: What would you include in a "hard asset" strategy to offset global currency devaluation? Obviously gold is a hedge, but what other sectors would you include - metals, materials (all commodities?), REITs, real estate, infrastructure holdings, maybe even utillities? Please include a few names to consider. Thanks.

Q: I hold the following in my balanced equity type portfolio and they all represent less than a half position, either because they have dropped or because they have not kept up with the rest of the portfolio. I have enough new money to top up 4 or 5 of them to their original weightings. Which would you top up at this point and which would you simply let go?
