Q: Hello 5i Team,

I am holding fairly large position for a while on TOY and down 20%, they will have thier ER report upcoming soon, given TOY ER history with most of the time disappointments with excuses, except that last ER had some encouragement from mgmt that things were improving both on top line and DC operation side. Could you highlight your thoughts going into ER, street seems to be cautious given the selling last few days.

Q: These are my biggest losers across my accounts. What are their prospects? Are any worth keeping, or is just time to move on? I don’t mind some risk, but don’t want to hold the hopeless ones any longer.

Q: I am still holding Spin Master and hoping to recoup my substantial loss ($42 per share cost). I was my own fault being hesitation to sell when 5i removed it from the portfolio. It`s share price has recovered nicely from the low.
Please evaluate the current status of the company and recommend buy, sell or hold. Thank you for your great service.

Q: My TFSA is about 2% of my portfolio value. Should I invest in just 1 stock or should I diversify and buy about 5 different stocks? I purchased 5 stocks last year and most are down considerably since March. (NFI, SIS, TOY).

Q: I asked a question about TOY the other day and you kindly answered. But, I have had a nagging doubt about the transaction that you may be able to clarify. The plan is to buy it in rif and in 30 days sell it in my margin account, where I hold it. It seems counter intuitive but I believe I may have read that it is not 30 days that I must keep it before selling but 60. Thirty days before and thirty days after. I can't really see clearly on this and wonder whether you could clarify
thanks

Q: Good morning 5i
And thanks for the continuing good advice in this difficult time. I know that you lack confidence in Toy's management following their errors during the best selling season and their failure in estimating future revenu. But, i have, now a small position, in a non registered account. I am thinking about buying the same amount in a registered account and in a month selling in the non registered account. This will allow me to take the tax loss selling, without fear that the stock shoots up in that time. i take seriously your concern about toy. But, i imagine nothing catastrophic will happen in a month, would you agree?
Thanks

Q: The TD report on TOY earnings says:
Q4/19 Results: A Self-inflicted Trip to the Penalty Box
(owing to an ill-advised transition to a new DC during its peak selling season).
TD is famous for using acronyms in their reports. DC?
Confusing. Can you explain what transition they are talking about?
Thanks
