Q: Hi 5i,
I wonder if the market is (and will continue) reacting quite negatively to the new federal cabinet, out of a belief that economic growth, national self sufficiency and real prosperity for Canadians is not currently high on the list of government priorities. Nothing can hinder economic health like obstructionist government policy and I sure see lots of that in Canada these days. I'm feeling like I should concentrate hard on moving as much as I can into US and international names.
Would you say I'm overreacting to what the next 18 months to 2 years (the usual life span of a minority government) might bring to Canadian business? Are there sectors that are likely to thrive during that period, other than maybe the banks, do you think?
Thanks for any insight you can offer.

Q: Hey Peter,

I am confounded. Ctc.a is down approx 10% in the past few months. HD and LOW are up approx 15% similarily

That's a disparity of approx 25% and they're all in the same business.

I know its not the B of C announcement today that caused this.

What is your thoughts on why and MOST IMPORTANTLY would you suggest I still hold?

Up only 6% on my position currently.

Thanks

Q: What is causing the current weakness in Methanex ? I have had success with it in the past and your fairly recent comments are positive so am considering picking some up at todays price. Any benefit to buying in US$ other than retaining dividends in US$ without losing on currency exchange ?
Have been with 5I since inception and am very happy with your insight.

John.

Q: Hi Team,
After the failed takeover rumour by pypl Pins is quickly at a 52week low. Do you see this as a buying opportunity in a name that continues to spark takeover interests from big names like pypl and previously Msft? I hold the stock and am currently down on the name. Average down or simply hold? Or ….is it time to sell? Thanks
