Q: In your reply to Michael this morning you stated: "So we think it is a little too soon to write the company off." Your response implies that there is some possibility that SIS will be written off, whereas your previous comments on SIS have been very positive. What level of confidence do you have in SIS as a viable investment for the long term?

Q: Hi, SIS has added a significant amount of long term debt over the last 4 years, and free cash flow seems to have hit a plateau, with a lot of cash coming from financing. Do you feel the growth by acquisition story here looks sustainable?
Q: Bought some CGX as the momentum looked good before their last earnings. However after their earnings the stock sold off hard. Wondering if it’s worth holding on or move to SIS , KXS or PBH. As there is opportunity cost holding on to it. Don’t care about dividend looking for growth.
Q: Hi, I used a screener to look at companies that have had a hard down in the last 6 months, as well as a positive uptick in the last 10 days. I have found two in the subject line above. I also want a small dividend at least and both above are sufficient. I think both AIF and NFI missed last quarter, and they are expected to grow, however, it appears that AIF's growth into 2019 is significantly more (according to scotia) than NFI. I do know NFI has been a darling and this can be a good time to get in. Can you give me your opinion on both in contrast and consider which one you would add to a portfolio now for longer term. No need to consider any of my other holdings. Thanks.
Q: Were you able to learn more about sudden departure of CEO?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I sold PBH for year end tax loss on Nov 21 and would like to repurchase after the 30 days rule. Do we start with the trade date or settlement date? Is it 30 calendar days or business days? So with Nov 21 being the trade date, when can I repurchase PBH? Thanks .

Q: Hello,
Is there anything unusual about the volume spike on Friday? I see we’ve had a few of these abnormal buying spikes in the past followed by a rally. Just wondering if there is any information on who may have been buying or why?
Thanks!
Gerald

Was this expected or something to examine as to why?

Q: Do you think a tax-loss sell of TOY is risky at the moment? Down about 20%. Would there be any reasonable proxy?
Q: Between the two of these companies which would you prefer to buy now and why? Also which company would have more upside in the next few months, keeping in mind that oil prices do not go up and natural gas prices remain high
Q: Looking BCI over as another way to play the aging population theme plus people are sitting around staring at screens most of the time, especially in the last 30 years (me too) and ruining their eyes. Your last rating on this Company was Nov 2017 @ B+. Do you still consider it worthy of a B+? If so, in the context of a year later. with very little movement, no dividend increases...why?
Thank You once again

Q: My biggest position is in Knight and my two biggest concerns are the possibility that Mr. Goodman's health is deteriorating following his accident which could affect his zeal for a large deal and, second, if his reputation as a bargain-hunter is precluding him from having access to good deals as sellers may only view him as a desperate last resort.
Finally, the trading in this stock seems consumed by day traders generating a flurry of orders following the limited buy/sell from real investors. Is someone propping this stock up to generate action while the shareholder base yawns through the daily action waiting with exasperation for the company to put their $800M to WORK!!
Thank you.

Q: Paid 47$ now 41 $ should i sell it and take a tax loss then re purchace it 30 days latter
Q: Not a lot of questions/comments on this one and the last report is June 2017 (unless I have missed something).
It continues to fall. I have been able to sell half of my position so far (liquity). I still have a significant gain on the second half. Should I hang on to this other half or will the likelihood "that earnings will likely taper in 2019" as referenced consensus states, contribute to or cause a stall in the stock's momentum and therefore best set aside this stock for a quarter or two?
As always, Thank You

Q: Good morning Peter & Team,
Part of GM's rationale (so they say) for closing the Oshawa plant and others is to focus on 'autonomous' vehicles that, according to a GM spokesperson, "don't hit each other". How will this affect the core business of Boyd in the medium and long term? Thanks to 5i, I have some fabulous gains on this stock and am wondering if and when I should take some profits. (BYD.UN is 2.55% of our overall portfolio).
Thanks as always for your guidance.

Q: SIS and Toy are continuously going down is there any other reason than tax sell,Are they good buys today?. Or something wrong with them?.
Q: Ryan and Peter,
I'm looking to buy a company that has good rebound potential once the market turns. SIS AND NFI both seem to be oversold. In your opinion, which one looks like it is poised to impove its share price the most once this market improves. Which other companies, (sector doesn't matter) have excellent rebound potential. Thanks for your advice.
