Q: DND has recently had a considerable rally. What do you think of the cashflow and profitability now - I am asking for an answer that assumes the takeover does not go through. What about valuation ratios currently and compared to assumed growth rates going forwards? Cheap, fair or expensive? Thanks.

Q: I noted and likely your strategy to add to XHY for income and possible capital gains. However, when I looked at high yield corp. bond ETFs, ZJK looked better overall. There is also the matter of CAD hedging. I'm looking to park cash for my 2023 RIF withdrawal this December and I've been using the BMO HISA for this. Can I have your opinion on using ZJK or XHY instead for about 2% higher income?

Q: Profitability, why is this so difficult to achieve for LSPD? Is one reason that the CAO and Board are still continuing to be driven or leaning to expansion and therefore changing to control control is difficult to achieve? But that does not make sense because we have heard they want to be profitable in 2024! I am confused. Clayton

Q: Hi 5i,

Is there an explanation somewhere as to the meaning of the % at the bottom right corner of the Income Model Portfolio? The headings are: Portfolio; Benchmark; Active. An explanation of each line in the chart would help me understand the relevance.

Thanks for the help.

Q: Good Morning all!,
Why such an abrupt fall this morning while this company is still breaking records? Is it buyable today or should we wait for volatility to reduce ?

Q: At first glance I am a bit disappointed
Sales grew at a fantastic rate yet net income did not
Margins down and costs way up.
Should we shareholders be worried

Q3 net revenue increased by 37.8% to $624.6 million
Q3 net income increased by 8.9% to $70.7 million
Q3 Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased by 9.5% to $119.6 million

Q: Given that LSPD is not yet profitable and since they owned close to 4 percent if I’m correct in the FTX. Crypto (now bankrupt), to me their future has been significantly compromised. I can’t believe I indirectly held crypto!!!!!!! Comments?

Q: Do you think Savaria might to taken privte or sold to a larger company? They have a niche larger companieds might want?

Q: BEPC has been a favorite of yours for a long time. I bought it more towards the highs a couple years ago when there was so much talk about renewables from the Biden administration and everyone was piling into renewables. Since then this stock has gone down and it was your favorite two years ago at all time highs and now around 20 dollars off its high it is still a top dividend pick. I also averaged down on it based on how favorable you spoke about this company but I have still not broken even. My question is in what environment would you see this stock doing well again? What would be a catalyst for this stock performing well and why is it still a top dividend pick? Does it represent value at this price and could you please comment on the profitability of this company. Thank you!

Q: I've held BNS for 7 years now, and it's barely moved in that time. What is your rationale on continuing to hold this bank in the BE profile? At what point would you consider a switch?

Q: I’ve held PBH through thick and thin for over 5 years waiting for the “growth” to materialize and yet after this time I’m down nearly 20%. How long do you give a company to perform before moving on? Even if I was just breaking even I’d have some more patience with this but the opportunity cost of 5 lost years and a 20% loss is telling me it’s time to find something else. Your perspective would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Both have had a good run but I just own Starbucks. I'm considering swapping it for TJX. What do you think?

Q: Hello 5i team,
Just a few questions on FSZ. It seems that the stock has been in a holding pattern for the past 2.5 years. Where is the payout ratio at these days with the stock? Has the AUM increased or decreased in the last few quarters?

Are you still confident of this stock in the income portfolio?

Andrew

Q: With canaccord trying to go private could FSZ try the same? How much do insiders own today of FSZ?
