Q: Hi 5i,
I have been following Sierra Wireless since mid May when it reported results that significantly beat expectations. It has moved steadily higher and today on above average volumes, it was up 6.45% on a down day in the market and hit a 1 year high and closed slightly below this high. I am wondering if SW will be a big beneficiary of the Federal Governments initiatives for a new telecom framework for resiliency through mutual assistance and emergency roaming? Would appreciate your thoughts on this perspective and what other companies could be beneficiaries?
Thank you

Q: I have a question regarding the distributions for XIU, XIC and XAW. According to Morningstar these ETFs are close to 100% equities, yet it looks like interest income can make up a sizable component of the yearly distribution. I would have thought most of the distributions would be from dividends. Any information regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Q: Hey Team, thanks for holding strong during this rough time to be a portfolio manager. I have one ticket to add to the above list that didn't show up in your database, its EVVTY (Evolution Gaming) out of Stockholm. Anyway I consider many of these to be high quality compounders, with strong mgmt teams. Could you rank for me which companies you would add to now? Or if anyones you would avoid, let me know. Thx

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. Can I have your latest thoughts on Leon's please?

I bought it over several tranches through 2021 to get to a "full" position and my average cost is $22.50. I am ok hanging on, while waiting for an upswing but also don't have a problem taking a tax loss and moving on. Not all investments work out.

Just looking for your thoughts going forward and what you would do?

Thanks...much appreciated...Steve

Q: Now that Savaria stock price has lowered substantially since the beginning of the year, I am considering it for my income portfolio with its 4% yield and some growth. Before I do, I have the following questions:
1. In your opinion, is Savaria a "Capital Intensive" company? -- Capital intensive companies don't perform well during inflation period.
2. What is the dividend payout ratio over cashflow?
3. How do you feel about the debt level compared to its free cash flow? and
4. In your opinion, to what extent will higher interest rates impair their acquisition strategy. If they can't aquire other companies, what is the risk the growth becomes anemic?

Thanks.
