Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just read the earnings report for ECN . Looks like they had earning of zero per share which the market appears to like .... Could 5i give an analysis and opinion on the two businesses and thoughts for a catalyst going forward ? Also comment on the management changes. I believe management was a large part of the company's original attraction . I also received the " Management Information Circular " in the mail which has comments on the strategic review. It mentions someone called " Skyline " . Could 5i explain who they are,what they do, and translate the explanation of the strategic review from " Business gobbleygook " to " Business for dumbies " so I understand it and what you think of the results of the review ? ..... Thanks for your always sound analysis ..... Garth

Q: Hello 5i Team

Are publicly traded companies responsible for preparing the transcripts of quarterly earnings call and/or annual meetings? If not who prepares them?

I have noticed some companies post them on their website and others do not.

I have seen some third party websites post transcripts, but it is often hit and miss

Do you have any recommended web sites for transcripts?

Does your data provided offer this service and could it be incorporated into the data you provide for companies?

Thank you

Q: I had purchased this in a Canadian TFSA. Just reviewing my investments and I must have asked for this to be transferred to the US TFSA due to dividends being paid in US currency. However, the cost is listed as the Canadian amount! No wonder it's showing I'm underwater. but I don't think it correct. Have you or your readers come across this problem before?

Q: Is there any particular reason why banks (eg. BNS, TD, RY, etc) won't enter the same "non-traditional lending" market as GSY or PRL? Seems like regular banks have all the infrastructure for it and it sounds like there is money to be made. Do you think this would ever be a possibility in the future?

Q: For the last 10 years, SLF has been the better stock to own. Since December 2023, MFC has been better. In their most recent earnings MFC beat and SLF missed. MFC's PE is a little higher, dividends are about the same, SLF has better ROE, MFC has a much better profit margin. If buying one of them today, which do you think is better going forward? Or with the chance interest rates will be coming down in the next year would it be better to buy a bank instead?

Q: Hello 5i Team

Are US "mortgage reits" similar to Canadian Mortgage Investment Corporations?

Could you please provide a few ideas of US mortgage reits for me to research?

These would be held in an US$ RRSP, to minimize any tax considerations.

Would the distributions be similar to US corporate dividends and not US MLP distributions (K-1 tax form) which are problematic to hold in RRSP accounts?

Thank you
