Q: Greetings:
In your Nov 27 update report on Boyd Group Services you show n/a
for the 5 year eps growth. Please explain? Also, in the last few days
a question was asked about the viability of a company. Your answer
was that it has a Bloomberg default risk rating of I think it was about 6.8?. Can any member of the team remember the name of the
company? I understand what this rating is, I just like to remember
the details in the questions and to satisfy my memory.
Thanks very much.
BEN.

Q: Hi
I bought some DOCU stock just before the March lockdown and the stock is now up by 155 %. I want to know if you consider the stock a pure stay at home stock which will start underperforming once vaccines start to roll up and life gradually goes back to normal? EPS is in the negative sign which is not a good sign.
Or do you see the stock remaining sideways in the 220 $ range when the economy start back up and demand keep on growing?
Do you consider DOCU a good company (similar to MSFT for example) that is a long time hold?

Thanks
Kristelle

Q: Good morning looking at the e-sport and gaming space it seems to be growing a fair bit every year. What would be you opinion on these two companies? I know GSQ just went public but do you feel this space has a big future? Thanks

Q: Hi group now that we can see recovery on the horizon (vaccine) what is your present top 4 sectors / along with your top 3 stocks in each of those sectors.

Q: Hi there,
Brookfield Renewable has tumbled faster and farther in the last week or so than at any point since March. Is there a sector reason behind this (ie fears of rising rates) or is it company related?

Q: Hello Peter,
Please watch this link....it's only 1min. This is very worrisome. Pierre Poilievre suggests "lock away your money". What would you suggest? If decide they want to go after ou savings (which BTW I think it's very possible), what would they "grab"? How would they go about doing this assault?....Do you think they could go after trading accounts? Or maybe the cash on trading accounts? Maybe savings accts., GIC's, etc.
How do protect ourselves?
As you may know, Trudeau w/NDP (which represent majority) are in agreement to tax on the equity of your home (principal residence) when you sell it. Also, they are planning (maybe they've already done it, don't know) on taxing inheritance to pay for all the free money they are giving away.....BTW Canada apparently has the highest debt, by far, of the G20.
Thank you very much!
Silvia

Q: Hello 5i team,

Allied Properties REIT announced last week that they are going to raise their distributions starting January 2021. This is surprising given the uncertainty that COVID has cast over office real estate.

How should investors make sense of this distribution increase? Can we take this as an indication of good Q4 performance thus far?

Thanks!

Q: With copper prices moving higher and a good probability that demand will continue to increase due to economic recovery and possible infrastructure spending etc, what is the best way to position for an uptrending copper price? I think it makes sense to have a position in a mid or large cap producer for exposure. However, I'm also wondering if there are any companies on your radar that have "good" projects that are uneconomical at lower copper prices but could come online if we see copper above $4-$5. My understanding is that copper reserves are dwindling and demand could outpace supply into the near future or longer. So if we see new all time highs in the copper price, what companies could see the best returns in this scenario. I realize this situation has a few 'ifs' but would appreciate your insights. Thanks very much for your service.
