Q: Hi team,

I currently have IWO as a core holding. I would like to change to a more concentrated ETF holding either in small or mid cap US. With so many different factors to choose from such as large/medium/small cap, dividend/value/growth/blend, current valuations, etc... and looking at past returns over various time periods, how does one choose the best ETF to invest in going forward now? I would consider all these ETF's to be high quality and obviously no one knows what the range of future returns will be. With small/mid cap underperforming lately vs large cap, would you place your bets on that spread closing over time? I'm comfortable with volatility and have a long term time horizon (+15yrs). How would you rank these going forward for best risk adjusted returns?

Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i
What to do with this one?...Stock is now at 0.45 .....
I have read your previous answers regarding this question , that it is better to simply move on... is this advice still valid? Will it have to undergo a reverse split to stay listed?


On the same note, TD Web broker indicates this stock is followed by 6 analysts ....all rate it as a buy with avg PT of around $3.40..... How is this possible and could you please comment on how these targets could actually be justified from an analysts perspective....any speculation on how they arrive at these numbers? I find the ratings quite puzzling.

thx

Q: Help me understand something about DND.

As per your write up in the Q&A's you were not impressed with DND's latest report.

The market was not impressed with DND's latest report (down appr. 30%)

Why ten would a 5 star analyst with CIBC, Sephanie Price with a 59% success rate ever rank DND a strong buy over the next year with her raising the target from $25 to $28?

You may not/ probably not know her but what do you think she knows that the rest of us don't? Just asking as she is such a well reputed analyst.

Thanks


Sheldon

Q: Peter and His Dream Team
In our new world of "Climate Change, Fossil Fuels and Nuclear" does this company have any relevancy? I bought it years ago thinking it had a future. Now I wonder if it is heading for a reverse-split or event Chapter 11...Your assessment and comments please. They are always valuable! Thank you!

Q: What do you make of the trading pattern in SYZ? It is well off its lows and seems to be holding up well in a $7.7-7.9 trading range for the past month. It consistently traded above $10 for many years prior to 2021 and, as far as I can tell, its business prospects in the enterprise software space are the same or better. Can you comment on its future growth and likelihood of getting back to its old highs? I know the dividend cut disappointed the market, but should not the former dividend payment now be reflected in better future growth in the stock price? If the stock price doesn't get back to old highs, what are the prospects of a software consolidator like CSU, OTEX or ENGH taking them out?

Q: Regarding Peter's great question on Telesat and MDA, I too have been looking further into these companies and did not see a response regarding Lightspeed and potential revenue. All I have found so far is:
"Telesat Lightspeed has the potential to transform global satellite and terrestrial communications industries, dramatically increasing the Company’s addressable market from approximately US$18 billion to approximately US$365 billion and significantly expanding its growth potential."
** from the companies Prospectus November 16 2021
and from https://spacenews.com/telesats-leo-constellation-fully-funded-after-manufacturer-switch/
"Telesat is targeting a 30% return on investment from Lightspeed, which is seeking a slice of an enterprise and government connectivity market the company estimates would be worth about 200 billion dollars around 2025."
"Telesat expects the total cost for 156 satellites to be around $3.5 billion, when factoring in launches and other expenses, including the ground systems and user terminal technology that would also be used for the 42 follow-on satellites."
