Q: Hello 5I Team
Newmont Corporation is a US domiciled company and trades primarily on the US market (NEM:US) and it also trades on the Canadian Market (NGT:CA).
I am assuming the Canadian listing is a result of the Goldcorp acquisition in 2019.
1 - Which is the better market (Canada or US) to purchase Newmont on?
2 - Assuming the dividends from Newmont are not eligible for the dividend tax credit, would it be better to buy the Canadian domiciled companies (ABX, AEM, FNV, KL etc.) and receive eligible dividends? The yield on all the major gold miners is approximately 1 %, so I understand yield is not the primary reason for holding gold stocks.
Thanks

Q: I have noticed more of ROP’s applications in use by in the medical world. It continues to remains on RBC’s top global ideas for 2020. Is it over-valued right now? Does it have the balance sheet and cash flow from existing operations to continue its acquisition strategy?

The share price worries me. Should it? Or does ROP deserve its rich price due to its growth potential? If you would buy, what would be reasonable entry price (or would you be patient and wait for the next market dip?)

Q: Hi team,
I was looking at adding to my position in Veev. However, to do that I would be looking at trimming either twlo or Now. Would this be advisable? How would you compare Veev to the other 2 as far as long term growth prospects? Note my positions in both twlo and now are approx 50% larger than my position in Veev . Thank You

Q: Safehold realty (SAFE) was a top pick of real estate expert Michelle Wearing recently. Can I get your opinion on this relatively new stock and your opinion on their business model. She likened it to a hundred year bond, yet if they can achieve their goal of increasing the distribution at twice the rate of inflation that is obviously better than a bond, safety comparisons aside.

As a US REIT the majority of the distribution is return of capital. Am I correct that this would be the same tax treatment as a Canadian Reit, lowering my adjusted cost base. And how would the remainder of the distribution be taxed?
Finally what do you think of their major shareholder getting management fees, while many don’t like those sort of arrangements I have owned some similar companies where it has worked out well for me..

Q: News from the US today on UNC going to strictly online learning has to be the first of many such stories. I know CHEGG is a prominent US name that could benefit from schools scrambling to move online but I would like to ask if you can provide some names of companies that will benefit if either elementary, secondary or post secondary schools are hastily shut down? I listed a few that might do well on the headlines and would like your thoughts on each but also would like to know who will be fuelling the transition if it happens (cloud, security etc). To put it another way, who else stands to benefit if "back to school" is quickly reversed. Deduct as you see to be fair please.

Q: Could I have your thoughts on Maxar at present ( I know it is now a U.S. company but a lot of the assets are the same as when domiciled in Canada.
The earth intelligence segment continues to perform well as it always has with recurring revenues. Since Jablonsky ( former Digital Globe CEO) took over as CEO at Maxr the stock is up 400 % plus. There is 80% institutional ownership and the debt is looking much more manageable now. Would you consider Maxr a moat type company? The list of clients is impressive. Every Google map I see has been done by Digital Globe. Moving forward would you consider this a good investment? Thx
