Q: Hi Peter & Ryan

This is just a comment but please feel free to deduct a question credit.

During difficult market times we send you questions so that we dont feel alone when markets are crashing. It's the time we need some "emotional support" and the Q & A provides just that for me.

Thank you kindly to you both for helping me navigate during these turbulent times. I bought GSY and I held even though it dropped after that.My cost was still in the region of about $28. I was tempted to sell when it dropped further but found solace in your answers to the stock. I am glad that its today up over 25%.... I can't thank you guys enough for providing me with the confidence to hang on to my positions and to cease opportunities during crazy market swings.

Once again, thank you and much appreciated.
Sincerely,

Q: Hello 5i
I've been reviewing your answers regarding which stocks to buy in this environment and noticeable by its absence is SHOP. Given it has been a top performer in Canada for a few years and has suffered a drop with the others I'm surprised by its omission.
Care to comment?
Thanks
Dave

Q: My understanding is that People is a third party administrator.
Does this mean they would be unusually busy with the EI claims and dealing with Cocid -19 etc is actually a good revenue stream that would help their business?

It has been hit hard like all other stocks. But did well in the past economic crisis in 08/09. Is there any other issues that would impact their business ? It looks like it could be a good time to get in now ?

Q: Wow, Boyd continuing to get crushed. Sure, people may be driving their cars less these days and therefore less car accidents, but once life returns to normal, I can't rally see Boyd's business taking that big of a longterm hit. Down nearly 50% from its ATHs. What are your thoughts why this one got hit so much?

Q: Realizing that you don't have a crystal ball can you suggest how safe you think the dividends are for DIV, FRU and A&W?
I am seeking dividends in a registered account and if the dividends from the above companies are threatened or cut I guess the stock price would would really collapse. I am thinking I could sell and replace them with a much safer dividend ETF like FDV (or anthing you suggest). On the other hand, if you think they might be
Ok, they sure are paying one heck of a dividend right now and if the stock price could recover in due course I would just be as well off continuing to hold.
