Q: Long term bond prices rose during previous tapering periods (following 2014 QE for example). Given this, and the relative certainty tapering is coming soon, would now be a good time to add to one's long and short term bond holdings? If I'm incorrect, please explain why? Thank you, great service.
Q: Hi Team,

Q: I've heard it said, invest in what you know and what I know for sure is we need food and water to survive. So I'm looking to purchase two stocks in my portfolio in the agricultural sector. I am looking for dividend and some growth. If that stock offers diversity and/or a technical play even better. But first and foremost, what these investments have to offer is something the world can't do without.
What would be your picks out of the above list and why?
Q: Want to enter the green energy space to take advantage of the required doubling of our electrical power capacity in Canada and US to meet climate change targets. Brookfield Renewable Partners, First Solar, SolarEdge and Ormat all seem to have merit. Which of these, or another company, would you recommend. Thanks!
Q: Hi,
Can you tell me what type of account is generally best to hold US REITs, from a tax perspective?
I hold these 4 Canadian REITs (TCN, WIR.U, DIR.UN, SMU.UN) and am interested in several US REITS. I've been considering AMT, CCI, EQIX, DLR. Can you comment on these and suggest a few others.
Q: Hi 5I,
With China implications affecting Manual Life, would you consider selling my position and purchasing SunLife or would you have another solution?
Thanks, Earl
Q: With the NDP tail wagging the dog again and the possibility that capital gains taxes could well move from 50% to 75% what general changes do you recommend for those of us with a significant amount of appreciated stocks in our unregistered portfolios?
Q: What’s your prognosis for this company? Is there any value in holding any longer? I am massively down on this stock…looks like it’s going to zero. Is there any value here?
I was wondering if you could give a US list for the question asked back on September 17, "Would you have a short list of 5 companies that should be on a watchlist for when (if) a 10% downturn comes before Christmas ?"
Q: If the market keeps falling for a bit is there anything particularly attractive? Can you try as best as possible to consider the effects of the Evergrande (potential) collapse all the while presuming that economic fallout will be mostly contained? In other words if new construction in China slows and it has some effect on mining and iron ore prices (for example) what is not effected or what kinds of companies and in which sectors will actually benefit? Or am I just overthinking developments that have too many moving parts to really make sense of? Thank-you.
Q: I currently hold the following Industrial sector stocks: AC, CAE, MRS (very small position), WSP, XBC
Looking at adding ATA or TFII. Would you have a preference at this time and why ?
Many thanks.
Q: I was curious to know your perspective on Linamar and its current trading price during this risk-off market. The CEO has been buying 4 million dollars worth of shares at a higher price level and the last earning call seemed good. Albeit in a very cyclical sector, Analyst's conscientious is upwards of 100$/share. I want to increase my allocation to the industrial sector before the infrastructure bills go through. Would LNR be a good Candidate at this price point or are there better opportunities today that catch 5i's eyes? Thank you as always.
Q: Once the unsettled state of the market suggested by today's gapping down on the DIA, QQQ and IWM (i.e. as of noon, at least) steadies, would you favour a purchase of NYCB as a steady source of $U.S. income or would you think that BNS:NYSE (for example) could be preferable (i.e. at least for a margin, hence, taxable account)?
Thanks,
