Q: The stock price of Boston Pizza has been declining steadily over the past year. Is there anything within their business model you can see that will enable them to stem this tide? Their menu prices are already quite high, and I don't see the company expanding store count to a great degree. For a Conservative investor, is the close to 8% yield worth putting any new money in?

Q: 5I bought it at $49. Here's my chance to get it cheaper for $42. Down 22% in a matter of a week or so. I knew I wasn't buying a blue chip stock but I didn't think I was speculating either. Setting aside the issue of " Comfort Level ". I had no problem taking a 5% position in ENB when it was volatile because it was a blue chip stock....What level of investment product did I buy ? Why should I stick with it ? I have a 2.2% position in TSGI. If it is a good company should I increase that to 4% or just weather the storm ? Are there better opportunities elsewhere ?

Q: Q1: I am a big fan of 5i, so I ask what is going-on with the above-noted solidly-recommended-by-5i company, the share price of which company has collapsed since July 19 (at $50) to below $34 today (and currently down more than 8% from just the last trading day (Fri Aug 31) and down a whopping 32% from July 19)?
Q2: I purchased large into The Stars Group on June 29 at $44.50. Any thoughts/comments/suggestions on a going-forward basis with the stock price now being below $34?

Q: I can't view this. The link just takes me in a loop. What Am I missing?

New Report:
We are initiating coverage on a new company that has some history with 5i Research in that it took over a past coverage company a few years back called Contrans. This stock ticks most of the boxes that we look for at 5i Research and our main regret with this name is simply not covering it sooner. Login toview the report now.
