Investment Q&A

Q: I remember many years ago, when I had just started looking after my own investments. I made many mistakes and even ended up with a few "smoking holes in the ground". I have now been a long term subscriber to 5i and have enjoyed much success as a result of the teams sage advice. Than you for helping me separate the Wheat from the chaff.

As a retired high school teacher I remember way back, prior to alphabet (google's) IPO, seeing their logo on every computer in the classroom when students booted them up, and thinking, " I wonder if they would ever IPO?" Well, of course they did, and upon seeing that I would need to pay a 17% premium as a retail investor (no matter how quickly you acted the morning of the IPO) I passed on the stock until years later. I am a happy shareholder currently.

My question is, are there any pre IPO companies that you are currently excited about, and if so, how can a retail investor have the best chance of getting in on an IPO other than waiting until it trades publicly? Anthropic? others?

Thank you

Q: Both SpaceX and Databricks have hinted at IPO’s in 2026. I own competitors Rocket Lab (RKLB) and Snowflake (SNOW) respectively. How concerned should I be, that investors will flee RKLB and SNOW and buy the IPO’s? Would you continue to hold RKLB and SNOW? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I've become interested in a cyber security company called Cohere Technology. The Canadian Government, Bell Canada and RBC have all committed to using Cohere's solutions in their cyber security defense efforts. Also the Canadian Government has planned to invest in this company.

It looks like Cohere is a private company. Do you know of any publicly traded company that has invested in Cohere or are there possible plans for an IPO. Or is there any other way for a small retail investor to get involved.
Thanks.

Q: RGSI Should we be snapping up Rockpoint shares while the company or whomever is selling them off at $24.50?

Q: A follow up question to Matt's question on WBI, are there any issues in investing in this company from a Canadian investor standpoint? You have mentioned implications for MLC's in past.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I am interested in WaterBridge Infrastructure LLC's (WBI) recent IPO and its unique business model within the Permian Basin water management sector. I would appreciate your insights on the following aspects regarding WBI’s long-term growth prospects and its capital-light strategy in the energy infrastructure sector:

1. How do you assess the sustainability of WBI’s margins and cash flow profile, especially considering the long-term, CPI-linked contracts and the increasing scarcity of pore space for water disposal in the Permian Basin?

2. What is WBI’s competitive position as the industry shifts from in-house management of water infrastructure by exploration and production (E&P) companies to outsourcing?

3. What are the key risks and potential inflection points related to state regulatory changes, environmental liabilities, or technological advancements in produced water reuse or disposal (such as desalination for beneficial reuse)?

4. How does WBI compare to other listed midstream alternatives in terms of attractiveness, especially from the perspective of Canadian investors seeking exposure to this mid-cap, high-margin segment in the US? What are the risk/reward considerations?

Thank you for your insights!

Best,
Matt

Q: I see "Brookfield" is spinning out Rockpoint Gas Storage Inc. RGSI will own 40% of the storage facilities and "Brookfield" owning the remaining 60%.
Where is the offering coming from? from BAM or from BN?
I read this: "Rockpoint Gas Storage is owned by Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II and Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, both of which are managed by New York City based Brookfield Asset Management". So I suppose shareholders of just BAM might get shares as a dividend? Too bad "Brookfield" has such convoluted ownership.
Or do we just subscribe to the IPO or buy shares in the open market.
Is there any hint of share price or of dividends?
What is your opinion of RGSI? Any information you have will be appreciated. Thanks.
