Q: Hello,

TRI recently announced an upcoming reverse split of their shares. This seems to to go against the usual practice of a reverse split whereby a low priced stock and out of favour stock (unlike TRI) will do one to drive up the price of their stock when it’s trading very low and in risk of being delisted as was the case of Bombardier recently and JDS Uniphase many years back. I’m having difficulty understanding why TRI would not just buy back shares via an NCI as opposed to a reverse split. Also, when is the reverse split scheduled and if I was to buy 10 shares tomorrow, how many of those shares would I have after the reverse split and would the price of TRI increase as a result of the reverse split as is normally the result of a reverse split. Many thanks for the amazing service that you provide.

Q: Hi 5i Research team,

Thomson Reuters Corporation just released their earnings, how do you take on the results? After the results release, the share price was pumping around a bit.

Also if one has new money, could you please suggest a few names to buy for a long term holding and looking for growth with medium risk appetite, thanks.

Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter,

We have TFII and WSP as equal weighted stocks. Is there enough difference between the two to retain both stocks in our RRSP's? If we were to consolidate, which stock would be preferred?

Thank you

Debbie and Jerry

Q: I hold the following in loss positions and need to raise some money and sell 2 of these dogs. In the past I have sold my winners hoping for recovery on the losers but I am trying to fight the psychology of that tendency. Could you rank these in with the 1st ranked being the highest conviction sell. Also, if inclined perhaps you could comment and provide your perspective on this most annoying human trait. John

Q: Hi,

Based on guidance from CN, and results from TFII, would it be fair to say that we are in a recession. My experience over the years, is that CN always leads in and out of recessions by about 6 months in advance. Based on CN’s guidance, and had they not had record grain shipments for the last quarter, they would not have recorded the beat that they had. Would you agree?
