Q: Hello. I purchased Nuvei when it was trading at a low price. Currently, I’m up 28%. However, I’ve come across some negative news about the stock recently. Should I continue holding onto it, or would it be better to switch to another company? If I decide to switch, which new stock should I consider? I’m open to both US and Canadian stocks. Thank you

Q: Can you give me your opinion on which would give the most toque as share price rises.? The regular amazon stock is trading at roughly 164USD and the Amazon CDR is a 20ish CAD. I like to be a bit concentrated so buying the CDR would allow me to buy many times the amount of units than the actual stock purchase, but if the CDR is bought will I still get the same amount of upside as the stock moves higher? I hope my question makes sense. Also what is your general view of the 5-10 year outlook on this company? Thanks

Q: Hello,
I own some FFH and have been concerned by the Muddy Waters report (it's description in the press as it was too specific and complex for me to read and assess) and am wondering if you think it will affect the performance of FFH in the long run and if it is intrinsic to the manner FFH usually does business, compared to, say to another insurance co such as IFC which is more transparent in it's reporting?

Q: Hi Peter and 5iresearch team:
In your answer to Gerry's question on Feb 16, you mentioned that CSU and ATB have been the best Canadian compounders over the last ten years. You added DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI based on historical performance and you are expecting LMN.V, TVK, HPS.A, TOI, GSY to be potential Canadian compounders in the future.

1. Would YOU still invest in CSU, ATB, DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI with the same conviction and weighting?
2. Could you please provide a similar answer but for the US market? Please provide 10 or so best US compounders based on historical performance that YOU think investors should keep investing in and 5 or so US companies that YOU would buy as potential US compounders in the future.

Thank you for the great service.

Q: Everyone, for more than 30 years I have used ‘good’ debt to buy good assets, such as my house and stocks. My maximum debt to equity ratio is 50%. My thought was if the asset depreciated by 50 % I would still be even. Additionally, I only buy top quality assets such as AAPL, AMZN, etc. Also I buy assets to hold forever. For a retail investor what range would you suggest as a debt to equity. Clayton
