Investment Q&A

Q: Looking in to your crystal-ball, do you see SYZ's dividend being cut or reduced? I am looking in to the company and know they're trying to transition to a more growth-focused company. Any predictions??

Q: between these 3 pipelines, how would you rank them for adding to my investments, on a capital and dividend increase over time.
Thanks

Q: Earlier this year we created an equal weighted 'balanced' portfolio of 30 Canadian companies in a non-registered account. Most were chosen from companies either covered by a 5i research report or included in a 5i model portfolio. The remainder were chosen, based on the 5i Q&A section, from what appear to be 5i sector favourites. All purchases in the portfolio are made with the intent to be long-term holds (10+ years).

Our intent is to increase our investments in the 30 companies over time. We have recently increased our positions in BIPC and MG. At this time we would like to increase our investments in 10 of the remaining 28 companies. The intent is to increase the remaining 18 in approximately 6 months. Which 10 would you add to today? Please rank them, include a small blurb explaining each choice and indicate an approximate buy price. Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter,
If you sell a stock in a TFSA or a RRSP account, you can purchase the same stock in a non-registered account the very next day and do not have to wait for the 30 day rule?

Q: What causes the SP of STLC and LIF to take such a big dive today?

Q: Curious about your thoughts on VZIO as they approach their all-time low. Do you consider the company undervalued at sub $18-$20 per share?

Q: Since the special dividend announcement of $7.50,ECN has dropped to $10.10.Does this mean the market only values the stock at $2.60, post dividend?

Q: Stlc is getting hit again today. Is there a reason for this?

Q: Further to previous questions on BAMR

BAMR has an outline of the characteristics of BAMR which after review makes BAMR different that the previous Brookfield spinouts (i.e. BEPC and BIPC)

https://bamr.brookfield.com/stock-and-distributions/tax-information

BAMR is a Bermuda Corporation, not a Canadian Corporation
BAMR is considered a foreign holding requiring reporting under T-1135
BAMR dividends are NOT Canadian Eligible Dividends

This information was not well presented during the initial spin out and came as a bit of surprise to me after review.

Thanks

Q: Hi, what do you think about this reit for income and a little growth? Would you pick this or suggest something else with 5%+ distributions.
Thanks as always

Q: Have some new money for the tech sector. Would you chose ENGH or SYZ and why? Thanks Ron

Thanks.

Q: HI, 5i team,
What are a few of your best Cloud Companies.

Q: Both Sierra and Aura have excellent financials but seem evenly matched on their current “race to the bottom” vis-a-vis their stock price. Would your recommendation be to:
A) sit back and take Aura’s occasional dividend payout
B) sell
C) buy more should the decline finally hit bottom?
Thanks for your perspective.

Q: I was given TOI shares for owning CSU. I am not selling, but when I do , what is the capital gain on the shares? Is it 100% because they were free? My bank shows them as all gain.

Q: I have read your recent report on this company and reviewing with the possibility of taking a position.
My concern is that in the history of questions you were not particularly in favor of this company for various reasons.
Can you review and be more specific to your apparent change to your view.
Thanks John

Q: Interested in buying semis here…can you give me your thoughts on TSM and QCOM? Is there a preference and is there much/any overlap in their businesses? Thank you.

Q: When does MRS next report and what is expected? Also, what is the situation with DND? Any further word on management's offer? When does it next report and what is expected?

Q: Good morning,

It looks like NVDIA posted excellent results - would like your take on the results and also your advice for someone who wants to start a position. Do you think it is wise to invest now or wait a little, and what would be a good entry price? The markets seem a little jittery as of late.

Thank you!

Q: In Feb. 5i was asked to pick TOI or U for growth since then Unity is flat and TOI has doubled. At that time Unity was preferred. by 5i . Would Unity still be preferred or is TOI better for growth going forward? Looks like both companies put up good #s recently.Thoughts please? Thx
