Q: My question is more for education and is about a companies daily trading volume. For example; I have been following Tucows (TC) for some time and for a company having a market cap of almost 800 million; why does it have such a low daily trading volume? The recent deal it made for the sale of Tucows TING mobile to DISH earlier this year was given good reviews.

Q: Hello 5i staff,
Good morning to you. I have a reasonable portfolio of stocks but have been thinking of increasing holdings in six or seven stocks and dropping others, in order to consolidate. Currently I am selling puts on the stocks that I am interested in and was wondering what you thought of that as a strategy. For instance, I currentlly have puts out on Alimentation Couchetarde, BAM and CNR amongst others, I am not in a hurry and am happy to collect the premiums. But, I can see that if these stocks continue going up, I may never get them. And on the otherside, if there is a market crash, I will get them for sure. But, may more for them than I would at the time, Now, I am talking about stocks that I already hold 3 percent of my portfolio in. Would certainly appreciate your comments, as usual.
thanks

Q: What do you think of the Rule of 40 for SAAS companies? Is it valid or not? The Rule of 40 adds growth rate % and EBITDA margin to arrive at a score and suggests SAAS companies with scores over 40 are buys as I understand it.

I am having a lot of difficulty trying to calculate or find Compound Annual Growth Rates [CAGR] of share prices without [and with] dividends reinvested. Do you know opf a reliable source?
Sources tend to differ a lot perhaps because of not properly accounting for share price stock splits.
I would appreciate it if you could give me CAGRs without and with dividends reinvested for
CNR, CP, TIH, RBA, TRI, BAM.A, RY, CSU.
Thank you......... Paul K.

Q: PNG recently did a $10M "bought deal" financing at $.67. If it is a "bought deal" does that mean Canaccord are in essence buying $10M worth of newly issued shares at $.67 and they are getting a big discount (prior market was $.78-.80)? Will Canaccord be re-selling these shares to clients at a premium to themselves or just adding them to their own portfolios? Also, if Cannacord have already bought the shares why is the market reacting so negatively? Is it because of the dilution? Last but not least why such a big discount for Canaccord?

Q: Thanks for the recent update, I look forward to your monthly emails.
With respect to point two about locking in some profits, I've often wondered how this works for institutions. Would they actually sell their portfolio and go to cash for the remainder of the year? Do most mutual funds not have to be mostly in the market thus having only a small cash position? I suppose you're referencing other major institutions like pension funds, hedge funds, etc.? Are they more flexible in how much cash they can hold?
Personally I'm tempted to sell to lock in my 2020 gains which have been my best ever (lots of great 5i picks, thanks) but then the question of when to get back in always confounds me. I'm all registered accounts to so no loss to write off and no gains to worry about at tax season.
Say one did want to lock in some gains what would you suggest? Selling high fliers, only to potentially miss some more gains? Sell the lagards? Sell the high risk? Balanced?

Q: Dear 5i,
I have a number of questions regarding shorting securities I hope you can answer;
1. Where does one find out how much it costs to short a security?
2. Who gets the borrow fee for the security?
3. If brokers keep the money can it be a significant amount and why is it not shared with the security owner to be fair?
thanks
