Q: Hi 5i Team, I have RAY.A and SYZ in my TFSA for some time now. Both pay a decent dividend of 4+ percent but growth has been underwhelming.. Outside the March crash RAY.A for last 2 years ranges up to 8+ then typically quickly drops down to 6 or lower 7 dollar range. SYZ follows similar pattern ranging over 12 but drop back below it again. Are these stocks you would support to continue holding in a TFSA or can you suggest 5 stocks in order of priority in the similar sectors for replacement. Looking at Canadian Options at this time.

Thanks for you help..

Needed your fundamental input to its upcoming earning expectation, debt and business prospects post covid...Thanks

Q: FYI No investors'love,but did well these 2 days after Q results.However co.loves as bought back 3m shares =$17.6m during the year.This morning Desjardins recommends Buy with a TP of $7.50,the CTP is %7.13.Its reasons are cheap,6.12% div(recently increased),diversified sources of revenue & big cut in costs which will generate free cash flow..Also co states a recent agreement with DOL for in store music & digital display solutions for its 1300 stores.

Q: hello 5i:
I'm considering selling RAY.A, just to get rid of a really weak stock, and something that has become a very small holding in the portfolio. One thing is holding me back, and that is the dividend and its safety. Can you discuss how RAY.A has been impacted and look forward? I believe that a company that can continue to pay a decent dividend will be (even more) valuable with interest rates falling. That might be double edged if interest rates begin to rise quickly.
thanks

Q: Could you please give me your thoughts on Stingray Group (DRA.A) and its potential growth over the next 3-5 years. I am impressed about their cash flow generation which should be used to reduce the debt and pay decent dividend. Do you recommend this stock with medium tolerance risk ? Am I missing something ? Thanks a lot.

Q: Basing on u top pick on market call on Aug 8/18 I bought it @ $9.10,a drop of 24% to current 1.5% position.I think this is not in U portfolios.Despite recent increase in dividend,co's buy back of shares,recent insider buying by Chairman(300k shs @ $7.30) who is very motivated & ambitious,& decent results last Q,it gets no investor love.After results on Aug 6($6.15 then) it rallied nicely to reach $7.94 on Aug 26,then declined to current $6.95.Please advise if I should continue to hold,& if not,suggest a replacement(can be any sector).Thanks for u usual great services & advices

Q: FYI. 2 articles in The Van Sun on RAY.A. E Boyko,its ceo has a vision to become the biggest music streaming co. in the world.He has 2 main policy concerns.Our government should have a policy of buying local.He dislikes Finance Minister's plan to tax stock options more heavily,even thogh the government indicated that fast growing cos like RAY.A will be exempt. 2nd article states that Bombardier & SNC are being replaced in the public's consciousness by digital economy outfits such as RAY.A, LSPD & Stradigi AI,all of which talk about becoming world leaders,but without the sort of heavy government support received by older champions of Quebec Inc. RAY.A has risen $1.09 since Aug 6 Q results.
