Q: I would appreciate your expertise on Stelco current valuation; I have read your notes. STLC report states that current profitability results from both volume and price increases, and your notes indicate that the recent ore price fall and equity valuation hiccup is in response to fears of reduced demand. The question I have is whether the STLC recovery is likely to be sustained/built upon, for a significant number of years, or whether the industry earnings and prospects are simply volatile in the short run. We have Biden’s infrastructure program to which should bolster steel demand all around, STLC presumably has to purchase iron ore so their raw material costs should offset steel pricing variations, and current opinion seems to be that we are looking at positive momentum for commodities in general, which I assume is a long cycle event. May I have your take on these issues please and the outlook for STLC.

Q: In my growth portfolio I have a full position in NVEI and a half position in TOI. When I really like a company’s prospects, along with 5i’s positive sentiment, I am comfortable going overweight. Both of these companies are on my radar for an overweight position. I’m wondering in which order you’d add and would you add today. Please provide a brief explanation.

Q: Hello 5i I own 2000 shares of IPL and am confused with the 4 options that the shares must be submitted to in the BIPC 20.00 per share takeover. My cost is 24.00 per share. I think BIPC has room to appreciate in share price and there yield is around 3.5% what do you think about BIPC as an investment. So I have to maybe report a tax loss depending on the option I pick. Could you comment on each 4 options the pro's and cons. Also what is the clarification of "Eligible Electing Shareholders Only" which is stated in option's 3 and 4.

Q: Hi team. Sorry to say I am -74% on SGY, and -38% on CJ. Both in a non-registered acct. With the recent reverse stock split on SGY the stock would need to go to ~$12 to get me back to even? Needless to say I don't think that is going to happen any time soon and I am ready to capitulate.
On CJ, the stock has been moving in the right direction but would need to hit $5.32 for me just to break even. Both stocks together = ~2 .5% of total portfolio. If I were to sell both and move on would you have 2-3 recommendations to re-coup with both dividends and growth. I presently have ENB at 2.5% and WCP at .34% of portfolio. I must state that I bought both SGY and CJ before I joined 5i, wish I hadn't. Regardless, appreciate and need your help to move on. Cheers. Bill

Q: Hello team,

In your last response about Thinkific you mentioned that $14 would be a great entry point. Has your opinion Changed.give the soft guidance and slight miss last quarter? Or do you see lots of future growth ahead. Increasing ARPU and higher AAR. The BMO analysts initiated coverage stating this was the “Shopify” for content creators.

If you had limited funds how would you rank new dollars comparing converge and sangoma in the mix. In fact, I’m interested in why you haven’t taken more of an interest in converge given your interest in CSU, TOI, WELL, OTEX, etc.

Their acquisition play book has been incredibly effective, simple and repeatable. Their mandate around management stock purchase and decentralized structure is setup very similar to CSU.

Sorry for the long winded question(s)!

Already own AQN. Looking to add another renewable play. Can you rank the above in terms of dividend safety and growth. Any others I have missed that you might include?
Thanks for your service!

Q: Saturday’s Globe quoted ADN’s CEO as taking a look at selling carbon credits on a small portion of a piece of land that had already had a conservation easement. The contribution to cash flow is expected to be modest. Do you think this help reduce stock volatility? Will there be insurance costs to mitigate forest fire destruction? The west coast seems to be getting dryer and the east coast getting wetter so forest fires may be less of a problem with ADN’s woodlots largely located in New Brunswick and Maine. If carbon credits become a larger business this should help the lumber companies increase prices for their dressed timber...in essence by reducing supply. In a way it could develop into a bit of a squeeze against the US timber companies by removing “surplus” Canadian supply. Domtar, which is being privatized, with their large land holdings could see a good benefit. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
