Q: Can you comment on the latest news update on NUVEI? Would you consider it a BUY at the 91/3% decrease drop at the open?
Thank you

09:56 AM EDT, 03/18/2021 (MT Newswires) -- Nuvei Corporation (NVEI.TO, NVEI-U.TO), a global payment technology partner for brands, was at last look down 9% after it announced that funds managed by "Selling Shareholders", and the company had entered into an agreement with some big banking institutions to complete a secondary offering on a bought deal basis. Under the agreement, the underwriters have agreed to purchase 8.2 million subordinate voting shares of the company at a purchase price of US$60.22 per subordinate voting share for total gross proceeds to the Selling Shareholders of near US$494 million. Fayer Holdco will also be donating 600,000 subordinate voting shares to a charitable foundation.

Q: Hi guys
I have a small portion (under 2%) of my portfolio in preferred shares (CPD and PPL.PR.M ). I bought these for a safe steady eady type of return but as you know investing in Preferred shares the last few years has felt like a roller coaster. For example PPL.PR.M is still $1 below where I bought it about 5 years ago, and has dropped to as low as $14. So I am wondering why not sell my preferred holdings and just buy more of a nice dividend stock like BCE where I am actually getting 6.2% yield - more than I am getting from my preferred? I know I am further down the chain if the company defaulted but I also get more upside. Your thoughts on selling my preferred holdings and buying some nice safe dividend stocks instead?

Thanks

Stuart

Q: thoughts on the acquisition announced today?

Q: I recently purchased Portfolio Analytics and I'm severely underweight internationally.

For international (excluding US) I am thinking VIU and VEE.

Any suggestions on how I should decide an appropriate weighting ratio of these two? Does it make sense to have equal VIE and VEE... more VIE?

Are there other ETFs I should be considering for international exposure?

And finally, these ETFs would make up a substantial portion of my portfolio. Would you suggest buying in one go or over time and if so what timeframe would you suggest?

Thanks for your service.

Q: Good morning!
I have owned this stock for about 6 months and made money. Over about the last month it has trended down. I still like the stock & there doesn’t seem to be a reason for the sell off. Should I take advantage of the lower price & buy more? Am I missing something?

Q: What do you know of XBC's management? How would you rate them, both excluding what is happening now and including current affairs?

In your report on the company in December 2020, you state:
Management is well-seasoned and has public company experience, including former top executives (CEO, CFO, COO) of various energy and industrial companies like CAE Inc (CAE) and McPhy Energy North America. Have they ever experienced anything like what they are going through with XBC now? How important is the involvement of CDPQ who invested $50M?

5i advanced XBC as a top growth company, as recently as March 10. Your report outlines your reasoning back in 2020. Obviously it's a different picture today. Any lessons learned?

Q: How would you expect the healthcare sector to perform in inflationary times?

Q: How likely is is that the Feds permit the merger of Rogers and Shaw but then allow foreign ownership of telecoms in Canada. If so, which of the two, Telus or Bell, is likely to be bought out? Even if they are not bought out, Bell and Telus might still do better with less competition. Or the Feds may impose conditions on the merger that benefit BCE and Telus. In any event, I am not sure there is any downside to owning Bell or Telus, and the real possibility of capital appreciation. I leave out Cogeco in my analysis as the controlling family appears not interested in a takeover.
