Q: Hello to the great 5i team,

Any website where i can verify how many shares are repruchased by a company ? Thanks !

Q: Like many 5i customers my bond ETF's have been whacked over the last 6 months or so. I bailed on a couple of them in January (good move as it turns out) but am still exposed in my RRSP. Bonds still seem to be dropping but yields in general are up to the 3.5% range. My question is "with inflation running at around 6% at what point will the numbers (yield/market value bottom) make sense to start buying bonds again"?

Q: your outlook and thoughts on pinterest after earnings.

Q: Could you comment on their earnings report and your opinion of the future for Acuity Ads. Many thanks.

Thanks for sharing your experience, wisdom and judgement. We recognize that it has been a tough slog for 5i over the past few months.

Q: What would be your top 3 stock recommendations for natural gas heavy energy companies?

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.

I allocated almost same dollar amount in Meta (FB) (formerly known as Facebook), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG), NVDA and others. I invested a bit heavily in tech stocks and got hammered. I was disappointed in the business model of Meta lately. Today after trading hours, Meta released earnings and the price jumped. I think this may be a good opportunity to sell tomorrow and switch to some non-tech sectors. How do you think? What one or two names would you recommend to invest now to diversify away from high growth stocks?

Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: I sold out of all my PXT around $30 since it had a nice run but more impotantly the in coming president in Columbia is very anti-oil even though his name is Petro (kind of ironic). I have not been able to find any recent news as to whether the new president is going to follow through an policies that are not extraction industry friendly (Even though they are one of the few bright spots in the world economy in 2022). Is there anything on your radar about PXT and the Columbia geopolitical situation? I like PXT because of its net cash on the balance sheet and that is profitable even with WTI in the mid 40"s but government intervention by Latin American governments can destroy a lot of share holder value. What's your take on PXT?

Q: I am confused and would appreciate some of your knowledge on the mechanics of the type of transaction Mr Musk is doing in buying Twitter.

a) I thought that stockholders were the owners, so that buyout would mean everyone's shares were being purchased. Is this the case?

b) Then Musk said that the Board were refusing to consider his offer and they weren't aligned to Twitter's performance because they weren't big stock holders. Can a Board actually block a takeover? The press seemed to think so. Isn't there going to be a vote by shareholders on the offer?

c) Then there's the purchase price. If it's going to remain a public company, then that $49B goes where, into whose pockers?

Thanks for your guidance on these questions.
