Q: What is the relationship between BN and BAM? I read that BAM just sold several different major assets at attractive prices, bur did not hear anything about whether BN would benefit from these sales. Does BN own a piece of BAM, or vice versa? Which is a better buy if i already own BIPC and BEPC?

Q: Time to sell?

Q: Can I please get your opinion of Bird Construction's (BDT) recent reported results. Thanks

Q: Can you please comment on CELH earnings? Is it as bad as it looks, still a hold or starting to look like business fundamentals are on the downturn and not just temporary weakness in the energy drink sector? Thx

Q: We are seeing the beginnings of a Trump bounce. If you had money on the sidelines would you put it to work ASAP or wait a bit now, having missed this initial move I mean. Secondly, aside from defense, oil and gas and orange make-up manufacturers, what sectors would you target, if any for the near term. Finally how does that translate into specific ETFs that might outperform over the next couple of years. Thankyou.

Q: Hi, I am new (about 1 year) to investing. After being approached from the branch level financial advisor, I figured it might be best at the time. He put all my funds into two items namely:

BMO Covered Call Canadian Banks ETF Fund
and
BMO U.S. Equity ETF Fund. This one had the most funds.

Since that time I have redeemed some funds and opened BMO Investorline account and purchased about 10 different stocks/etf's. The branch level financial advisor never calls or emails any advice period other than to say I am making about 18% and should be happy with that. Really??

2 days ago a lady from BMO investment center calls me and tells me I am paying 1% in management fees and can save ~ 0.66% by purchasing BMO95722 which shows up as BMO U.S. Equity ETF Fund. Yesterday I put in a redemption request for the balance of the BMO U.S. Equity ETF Fund (on my bank account page that name doesn't have any stock symbol) and the funds will be in my bank later this morning.

What I am trying to accomplish right now is to just make enough via investments to pay for living where I am. And hopefully some growth in the value of the investments.

The question I have is, would buying BMO95722 be the right or best choice of investments.

Thank you for any assistance with this.

Q: What does 5i think about EcoSynthetix's Q3 results and future prospects?

Q: Looking to move some money into the bond section of my portfolio. On the more risky side looking at XHY and USHY. How would you rate these for safety going forward on the the capital gain/loss side. Also I may sell some stocks like Magna that don't appear to be doing much.

I've been listening to Howard Marks and he thinks now is the time to be leaning towards bonds and Warren Buffet has been raising cash.

Q: Hello,
Your thoughts on PBH please. Is it a buy or just a hold?
Thank you

Q: Your thoughts on latest quarter for MRG.UN please. I have owned it for about a dozen years and like the higher yield I get than from other residential reits I own, which seems based not on risk but perhaps on large ownership position by morguard corp - do you agree? Can you explain how they can have a payout ratio below 50% when we are told that reits must payout the bulk of their cash flows or risk paying corporate taxes. And with their payout ratio having been much lower than most other reits for years can you further explain what they have been doing with these funds that they haven’t been forwarding on to shareholders. The dividend growth has been modest and sporadic and I don’t recall that many acquisitions or significant buybacks. Thanks.

Q: Hi Folks,
Trying to raise some cash in my non registered account. Reducing the number of stocks in the account. Currently have ISRG and ABBV as my health sector holdings and both have done well. I also hold ABBV in my RRSP. All things being equal, which one would you sell. Account is growth focused.

Q: for a retired dividend investor in canadian stocks which dividend payers do you think are the safest and have some growth potential. seems lately that a lot of dividend canadian stock that i have been invested in is having problems. [bce, td, t, bns, enb etc.]

Q: Hi 5i Guys,
We have generated some cash and I would like your thoughts about parking the extra cash in BCE or Telus and at least getting paid a nice dividend which greatly exceeds the interest that we're getting.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Retired with a longterm (10+ years) investing horizon and a solid pension. My TFSA is primarily growth and all Canadian with some US exposure (WSP, PRL). I’ve got some $US I want to put to work in my new unregistered $US account. I realize you don’t want to get personal but if it were your money and you were looking to start a new US based portfolio with solid companies a bit on the growthy side what 6-8 companies would you consider?
Thanks so much.

Q: These are on my watchlist. Do you see any problems with these?

Q: I am planning on buying the Canadian Depository Receipt of Walmart. Do you think it is too overvalued right now to start a position?
