Q: What is the reason for CCL's anaemic performance over the last 4-5 years? What is your outlook on the company? How would you you view a switch to RPI or IFX in today's market environment?
Thanks

Q: I am more than happy with the long term performance of this company . However the last two quarterly reports issued by the company have been somewhat pessimistic regarding growth prospects as the economy recovers from the covid pandemic . Cash flow is good , and the company will be buying back shares . I wonder if the are now an acquisition target for a larger competitor . What are your thoughts -- are they a buy , sell or hold?

Q: Hi Peter &5i team,
If Amazon is building warehouses in Canada, will any Canadian companies benefit? In your opinion, is this a good opportunity to invest in companies such as Richards packaging,CCL,the pulp and paper industry,or other e commerce firms.
Thanks for your thoughts

Q: Hi 5i team,

General question on the following accounts. What is the best way to view holding
Richards Packaging keeping in mind the effective yield and stock at 52 week high but seems stable in this market. Or sell taking tax hit on the non reg account, and investing in Enbridge or something else you might suggest that might provide yield and some capital gain.

Thank you
Mike

Q: Hello 5i,
As a pensioner who requires dividends for my income, I have been looking at the above names to potentially add over the next year or so. It is my belief (uneducated guess) that it might take that long before we see any solid bottom and subsequent recovery begin.
In that vein, out of the above, how would you rank these based on the following:
1. Safety of company through a one year to 16 month recession.
2. Safety of the dividend through this same period.
3. Confidence in management team
4. Sector vulnerability
5. Value at current levels
6. Any other considerations, warnings or caveats for any of these ??
i.e. some of these have a decent 5i rating (B or higher), but the rating dates back to 2019, some as early as the summer.
And, finally, are there any suggestions you might have that are not on this list that deserve serious consideration in place of any of the above?
I am in no rush for an answer so take as long as you need to consider this question and deduct as many credits as you see fit - I should have enough to cover it. I hope that this question might also prove beneficial to other 5i members who rely on dividends for income.
All the best to everyone in this very trying and uncertain time!!! Be safe above all!!
Thanks to all at 5i!!
Cheers,
Mike
