Q: Hi 5i,
The last time anyone asked about Ocado was June 4, 2018. What are your thoughts now, all things considered. Would it be best to purchase OCDGF or OCCDY? What’s the difference?
It looks like Amazon began to take in this space with Whole Foods, but Ocado is further along in the grocery business. Would it be a take out prospect?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have held this company for a number of down years. At this point I am up about 50% which seems like a miracle. I am always reluctant to sell a winner...let them run! However I am trying to be smarter this time. Do you think it would be safer to sell this gold company now that I have a profit and buy another safer gold in the sector. I am worried that this company may have more risk factors than others. Your assessment of HMY please...does my rational have any merit? Thanks again...your opinions are always a reality check!

Q: Morning, Wondering about your thoughts on buying Baba right now?
I need more international exposure, which this seems to satisfy, would you be
concerned by C19 implications, or anything else? Would be in an RRSP account which is well diversified, long term hold, growth the objective. If not Baba, others more favourable? Thanks Again

Q: In your April 20th response to Mike regarding FLTR, you said "We are not sure the company will list an ADR yet". I came across PDYPY which appears to be a FLTR ADR trading on the OTC market. It appears as if the ADR is .5 of a FLTR share.
- Is this correct?
- Is it possible to elect to receive the PDYPY ADR shares instead of the FLTR shares to avoid the excessive trading fees of buying and selling on the LSE?
- If so, are there downsides to owning the ADR other than making sure you put a limit price on any trade?
- I also noticed a PDYPF that appears to be FLTR shares trading on the OTC market but does not appear to have any trading volume. What is this and how does it compare to the ADR?
- if we can not elect to receive either of these in place of the FLTR shares and still want to be exposed to FLTR but not own LSE listed shares, I assume we would need to sell the TSGI shares in advance of the deal closing in May and buy one of these?
- which one would you recommend?
- will TSGI announce the closing date well in advance so those that want to sell have plenty of time?
Sorry for all the questions but I am confused and am hoping you can explain.

Many thanks
Scott

Q: Hi 5i,

You mentioned in your last question that Veolia Environment has a 5% dividend. Was the dividend cut recently? What is the forward yield. Also, how high is their debt and how manageable is it? I know utilities normally have high debt, so is it in line with others?

TIA!

Q: I’m looking to take a position in this company but have concerns about it trading on the OTC due to it being home-based in the UK, I’m guessing. It has growing 5-yr revenue and earnings and strong ROC and It’s not small at $9B market cap. How does it compare with its main competitor, United Rentals?

Thank you

Q: I ran across this company by pure chance. Other rating sites describe this company as having "excellent growth potential with flawless balance sheet". What is your perspective? Am I "behind the times" by finding its Pink Sheet status problematic?
