Q: Hello 5i,
I sold NFI, PSI and CCL.A as tax losses on October 25. Should I buy them back now, just add to the positions I now have or are there other equity opportunities to consider in replacement. I am a retire, value, dividend investor, 60/40, evenly distributed with many from the INCOME MODEL PORTFOLIO.

Q: Pason Systems has been currently trading below $18 mark and its close to hitting its year low. Do you think it is a good value buying opportunity?
What are the risks you foresee for this company?
I recently read form company website and that they are also exploring new sectors (non-oil) such as power, etc. Whats your view on that and how significant are they or how capital intensive are they. Will these new business lines change the revenue mix (away from oil) significantly ? If you can throw more light on these new initiatives it would be helpful. Thanks.

Q: Hello,
I just read your report on this company and have a few questions:
- Revenue from 2014 to 2016 went down substantially (from $500M to $160M), should we expect the same correlation to oil price going forward in case of an oil downturn or was there more to it at that time ?
- Are their customers mostly low cost producers ?
- Would you consider EDR as a long term competitive advantage ?
- You mentioned long term contracts in your report. Would you know if they are for a considerable portion of their revenue and how long and guaranteed are they ?
- Is the insider ownership related to the founders? Are they managing the business?
- Any idea why the stock did not recover with the oil price ?
I have had bad experience with oil servicing cmies in the past. I am tempted to take a position but worry about the downside if oil price is going lower. I will do more research but I always appreciate your comments ! Would a 4% position be too high ? Thank you

Q: Consider the following ETF portfolio and associated weightings:
ZSP 20%, ZWH 5%, ZDV, 5%, SDIV 5%, BOTZ 5%, XT 5%, DGRC 20%, ZRE 5%, ZDH 5%, VEE 5%, VAB 10%, XSB 10%, TCSB 5%

The question has to do with SDIV. Given poor performance of SDIV, I am contemplating switching SDIV to PSI (Invesco Dynamic Semiconductors ETF); would 5i support this move? Or would you rather I add to one of my existing ETF positions, or can you recommend another ETF altogether?

Thank you.

Q: Good Afternoon 5i,

I'm looking for companies that have little to no debt, high growth in Canada or the USA.

Some companies I hold include (which I believe meet this criteria): SHOP, KXS, NVDA, SQ, MU, GOOS.

Can you provide a few more that you like that meet this criteria?

Thanks!
Dave
