Q: Hi Peter
it was closed to $ 100 and now dropped down to $ 86
it was trading at a premium to BIP.un as the dividends are eligible for tax credit
whereas Bip.un was not
now that it corrected , and also with the take out possibility of IPL

the shares could be diluted due to the above

is BIPC.ca a decent stock to buy for
1) generates dividends for income
2) slow appreciation for capital gains with safety of capital in consideration

I have a partial position, should I wait for the competition for takeover of IPL
to settle 1st before buying more of BIPC ?

Thanks!

Q: Hi, My respected 5i team
During the March 2020 market correction, your team provided a special report which was a big help for me to take advantage of the market correction. I bought some solid names at a discount as the report recommended. Are you guys still doing this kind of special report in the future?
Could you please recommend 5 solid names to buy in Canadian and US markets respectively if there is a market correction again? Do you think it is a good time to buy them now during the current market  drawdown?
Pls list the names in the order from your most favorite to the least. Thanks in advance!

Q: Hello Peter,
Whenever i look up the quote for NFI group, there is normally a news release of more orders and yet the stock hardly moves. With the EV craze, I would have expected more from this company with respect to rise in stock price.. Is there a better pick in this industry?

Q: Good morning 5i team
How much of a strategic threat does 5i feel global Fintech is to the largest Canadian banks? And, what do you the Canadian banks doing to ensure their competitive position?
The July 17th Economist article "The funding frenzy" notes "a funding round in June valued Klarna, a Swedish 'buy now, pay later' start-up at US$46 billion." They quote other similar examples. Smart folks are making these investment decisions in finch start-ups What should the small investor be considering today about their investments in Canadian banks?
Thank you.

Q: After its earnings release, would you consider NFLX is now close to the status of a mature enterprise? Still worthy of above-average multiples , but with a P/E that could be justifiable around 25, and likely not today’s sky-high multiples.

1. What is your thinking on this, after last night’s results? Would you be of the mind that NFLX share price will from now rise very modestly ,or even remain flattish, over the next 3 to 5 years?
2. At the time of sending this question, I don’t yet see any updates of analyst ratings but perhaps they will be available at time of your answer. Post latest results what do you see as PEG, forward P/E and, if available, growth/contraction in global revenues?
3. Do you think today’s sell off in NFLX is an opportunity to add? Would you top up on a half position, or liquidate?

Your opinions have always been valuable and most helpful. Thank you.

Q: It looks like around Seven AM this morning the Canadian dollar abruptly shot up a more than 1%, thus wiping out any gains I might make for the day. Any idea what the cause was? Any predictions about where the dollar-dollar ratio is headed in the near term? I hold a lot of US stocks in unhedged Canadian ETFs and am now reconsidering the helpfulness of hedged products.

Q: Hello 5i Team

BIPC in their July 19 press release quoted the Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) report that recommends IPL shareholders vote for the BIPC offer to purchase IPL.

Is the ISS report available to general investors? From what I read on ISS website (buried under the Press Center page), ISS reports are not made public, nor does ISS issue press releases.

Is BIPC being disingenuous in touting the ISS report, when small investors are not able to review the ISS report and make their own decision on whether to accept the recommendations of ISS and vote on the BIPC takeover?

Thank you

Q: ECN is expected to show strong earnings over the next 12 months and even now after a nice move in the share price shares are still selling at a very reasonable multiple. Based on the earnings projections and the nature and size of the company where would you see the shares trading over the next 12 months?
