Q: Do you still have any confidence in Savaria?
Am I reading your last monthly summary correct... the balanced equity portfolio has underformed it's benchmark by 20% since mid-last year?
Q: Greetings 5i team,
Further to the question posed by Jean concerning competition and LSPD, I see in today's Globe that OMERS has just made a large tech financing (100m) into what seems to be another competitor for LSPD (Toronto's TouchBistro). Your comments please?
Q: It was reported that during the month of August, Adam Gray, a director, invested over $34 million into New Flyer at an average price of $26.78. This is a rather significant investment and while the stock is up about 10% since then, I may have thought that an investment of this size would have had a greater impact. Am I underestimating the rise of 10% or is there something more at work here that is keeping the share pcrie down? I have always thought that insider buying was one fo the strongest buy signals you could get.
Q: Good afternoon,
Do you happen to know /think the recent declines are tied to selling of " cheap' stock by the principals when would this show ( ie reported) as insider selling?
Thank you.
Q: What do you think about the competitors of lightspeed ? Do you believe lightspeed has a better platform and is there a "moat" around their products ?
I see a lot of restaurants particularly the ones in the MTY group (baton rouge) using Maitre'D solutions, which is a direct competitor of lightspeed.
Q: Trump is threatening to pull out of an international postal treaty.
Apparently, many US shippers use Shopify, and an increase in fees could be damaging. Not sure if this is Trump flag-waving again. What are your thoughts?
Q: Hi, Could you please comment on the company's intention to convert from income trust to corporate structure. They also mentioned that this move will help improve liquidity in daily trading as well as allow investors outside Canada to own the shares. Besides the tax implications, do you see this move impacting the share price in near/ long term or make comapny shares more attractive to institutions to own. Thank You
Q: In u answer on Sep 9,U stated that the selling shareholders of last deal extended lockup period for another 90days.Would it not be normal for the underwriters to support @ the $35 underwritten price(it closed @ $34.27).After deal close,the stock quickly went up to $47/48 level.So it is possible that the underwriters did a cover call to lock in the profits.Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Hi 5i - would you be comfortable starting a 3% position in FSZ at todays price? It look like it has had a nice bounce off the bottom and pays a 8% yield? It would be a long term hold. Thanks, Neil
Q: Hi Team,
Kindly comment on the announcement that Shopify is offering 1.9M new Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. What will be the impact on current shareholders and is it safe to assume the funds will be used to replenish some of the cash spent on its recent acquisition?
Thank you, Michael

Q: An analyst on BNN last week made a comment on CCL.B may be for sale and that MMM would be a good buyer. Are senior owners of Company thinking of selling ? Bob Kirvan
Q: Hello 5i,
I've done well with Shopify and Amazon with SHOP being up over 1000%. Lucky me!
They now collectively make up a little under 10% of my holdings. Everything I see says "better days ahead" so I don't mind holding on to them being a long term holder.
What do you think, is my exposure too concentrated?
Thanks in advance.
Q: Hi, I am planning to initiate a position in AW-UN.TO, it has gone down approx. 10% in the last month. My expectation is to get an average annual return between 6-9% in the next 5 years. Do you think it is realistic ?
Do you think it's current valuation is interesting for a 5 years holding period ? Any other advice/comments on AW-UN.TO would be appreciate.
