Q: Hello 5i
Could you please provide me with the best Palladium and Neon play out there please? Please mention why you like the choice. Would it be better to side with Neon
as its supply from Mariupol and Odessa (Ingas and Cryoin) will be affected for a long time...or 37% of Pallidium comes from Russia and that will probably never come back to markets here. Or is there another element in chip manufacturing that you are thinking of?
Thank you

Q: Hello Peter and team,
The market is up today and the tech stocks are up considerably after the recent fed rate increase. Is it because the increase was small (i.e Tech stocks sold off on previous announcements of rate increases)? Any idea why Tecsys and ATS automation are not participating? Do you see Arc Resources and Whitecap doing better in the next few months.. On BNN, Eric Nuttal, felt oil will continue to do well price wise. Do you share that view?

Q: With the comments made by Xi this week it appears stability may return over time to the Chinese market. Thoughts on how you would play this? An ETF to capture the full market or pick 3 names with solid prospects? Investment insight Vs trading advise please :)

As always thanks for the great insight.

Q: For the past 4 years or so, DFN fund management has increased the share count via bought deal, two times a year. While it should not matter in DFN's case because of it's business model, each share increase has caused the stock to tumble. It then creeps slowly upwards until the next increase causes it to tumble again. Some months ago DFN announced the "At-The-Market Equity Program" is renewed.

What does "At-The-Market Equity Program" mean? Presumably it also means they can still do large bought deals when the price is high, just that it won't be as predictable as the past years spring and fall issuance..?

Thanks for the ongoing great service.

Q: Thinking of initiating a position in Magna for a 5 to 10 year hold at these prices. With the semi conductor and Russian issue aside any thoughts at $77.00 range ? thanks Steve

Q: I am interest in buying Maw107. When I look at the fund It seems to me there is no bid and ask and no daily volume (from TD waterhouse mutual fund section).How they determine daily price change?

Q: Hi Team,

I realize this question might be off the beaten track but was hoping you might be able to shed some light on the implications of holding a debenture issued by Cominar now that it is experiencing a change in control in favour of Iris Acquisition II LP.

I have received a corporate action notification that I have an option to receive $1010 CAD for every $1000 CAD principal amount of Cominar Real Estate Investment Trust 4.5% Series 11 Senior Unsecured Debentures due May 15, 2024 tendered. With no action on my part, debentures in respect of which the Optional Put Right is not exercised will remain obligations of Cominar under the terms and conditions of the Indenture and will continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

Any idea in plain english if the debt obligation has a higher risk profile to the holder if the option is not taken? If you were the holder, would you exercise the option or do nothing?

Many thanks.
Michael
