Q: Can you please comment on this quarter, I am specifically looking for growth outlook, at a glance it looks better to me but I am not an expert in financials.

Can you also please comment on the recent resolving of litigation and the partnership that was just formed. How do you see these affecting sales and bottom line, if at all?

I have owned this name for a while and need to decide whether I should hold or take my losses. Any names you would replace it with in the same sector?

Q: Hello 5i team,

Which ETF is best suited for a long term hold (30 yrs) in a TFSA that will be DRIPPED and contributed to annually. I like the equal weight positions of ZRE but with a higher MER of .61% over the long term it seems the fee's could really start corroding my capital. VRE is the cheapest but also has the smallest yield and is market cap weighted. Is it possible BMO could lower these fee's in the future to stay competitive? I would eventually like to draw income from the holding.

Always appreciate the you insights

Q: My longest holding (20 yrs) is FRU which I have sold down over the good years, but still held some through lots of up and downs. I have held VET but eventually sold after its big run up in 2014. I am thinking of switching my remaining (and only O&G stock) FRU for VET. I invest for income, preferably with some growth prospect. However, I believe there is a possibility of CN (I think) taking FRU private and would be disappointed to miss out on the usual take over premium. Your thought would be appreciated.

Q: Peter, I've been thinking of CAR.UN for a long-term hold; it yields about 4.4% But I just saw Ross Healy (who I think has a pretty good track record for conservative investors) recommend Cominar, with its 10% yield. I have no need for active income; everything will be reinvested. For a long-term hold, would you expect someone to do better overall (including distributions of course) with CAR.UN or CUF.UN? The units will be held in an RRSP. Thank you.

Q: I have held WEF for about three years and essentially have just made the annual dividend. I am usually very patient and do realize the stock seems cheap on most metrics. My current concern is government intervention changing the outlook for companies such as WEF. I have Airboss, Enghouse and Exco Technologies on my "want to buy" list. Would you endorse a switch into one or all of these given the fear of the unknown with WEF. Thanks for your great service.
