Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Investing in high yield securities involves assuming the accompanying risks of course ... One can own an individual stock like ENB, a covered call ETF like QYLD or even a mortgage backed security company like NLY . Looking on RA's website it appears the major holdings are 40% global infrastructure and 38% real estate with a mixture of investments to make up the balance . I recently read an article on Seeking Alpha which called it a " Widows and orphans " security which kind of shocked me for such a high yielding stock ..... Could you give me a comparison of RA's price movement in comparison to the S&P 500 since inception ? An assessment of the risks in comparison to the three securities I have mentioned ? As well as a breakdown of how 5I views their investment strategy ? ...... { in the normal font size if possible }

Q: Hello 5i Team

Inter Pipeline according to the TMX website has 429,219,175 Listed Shares Outstanding and 429,200,000 Total Shares (All Classes) outstanding.

Inter Pipeline according to Q2 financials has 429,200,000 shares outstanding.

Brookfield in their press release dated July 15 states the Brookfield entities own 41,848,857 shares and have an economic interest (but not voting control) through Total Return Swaps in 42,492,698 shares.

1 – Why is there a discrepancy in the shares outstanding on the TMX website and IPL’s financial statements?

2 – What is the actual number of shares that are required to be tendered to BIPC’s offer to meet the 55 % requirement set by the Alberta Securities Commission?

3 – What happens if the percentage of IPL shares tendered to BIPC offer is greater than 55 %, but less than 90 % (where BIPC can force the takeover of the remaining IPL shares)?

Thanks for all you answers during the saga of this takeover.

Q: Could you enlighten me about just why ECN is selling off a big chunk of their business and then paying a special dividend to shareholders? From what I can see and what you've said so far it will go from a $2.5 billion dollar company to a half billion dollar company. It will pay us $7.50 a share in a special dividend, but then the value of the shares we hold will likely drop by the same amount, if not more, since larger investors will probably abandon the newly shrunk company. So where is the benefit for shareholders in this action?

Q: Can you please comment on a special dividend that would be paid $7.50. Stock is only up .22 cents right now. The stock should go up by at least $7.50. Do you think the stock would move up by at least $7 to 7.50 once the date is announced? Do you consider buying the stock to collect the special dividends?

Am I missing something here? Do you expect the deal would not be completed?

Thanks for the great service

Q: With something like 2/3rds of ECN valuation coming back to me as a dividend (!) I will be losing a fair bit of my financial exposure within my portfolio. I do like the smallcap Fintech space. Do you have any suggestion on where to start looking to gain more exposure? I have GSY on a full tank and so not an option. Should I buy more ECN now or wait?

Q: Crowdstrike has fallen just over 10% in the last 10 days. Is this a prelude to their upcoming (Aug.30th) report. Are you aware of any news that would cause this drop. They have several analyst recommendations with a target slightly over $300. Do you still feel that this is an outstanding buy or is it getting too costly to recommend at this time?

Q: Everyone,
A BIG thanks for recommending: SHOP, LSPD and NVEI. I am up 40x times on my original SHOP investment - only recently sold a small piece to by CSU. LSPD is now 4x my original investment after two years and I will not sell. And only up 70% for NVEI investment since I bought it this spring.
Thank you!
