Q: Hi Peter,
My rationale for buying Becton Dickinson (joint replacements) still makes sense to me, and I understand that these types of surgeries are down now, but looking forward should surge. That said, it has performed very poorly over recent months and Stryker, which I understand to be a similar company, has done quite well. Can you explain the divergence? Would you suggest I hang onto (or even add to BDX) or should I admit that I picked the wrong stock and would be better switching to SYK. Thank you!

Q: Hi team,
I recently sold a stock at a loss in my TFSA. Can I buy the same stock in my non-registered account now or do I have to wait the 30 days period required by CRA to avoid a penalty ?
Gratefully,

Q: I noticed you recently added AC to your portfolio.
Is there a chance that creditors will ask for a restructuring of capital structure?
Or the government if they start pumping money in AC?
Like a bankruptcy form,where shareholders will be left "holding the bag"?
How strong is AC financially at this moment?

Q: I have held on to BB for a few years. What will it take to get this stock to move significantly? Maybe time for a tax loss sale?

Q: Was considering buying CSU in the near-term, buy am wondering if it is better to wait until after the Tropicus spin-off? CSU will drop once that occurs correct? I would not expect to be buying enough shares to receive any Tropicus shares so seems like waiting may be best?

Q: Hi Team,

Q: Hi 5i Team - With the very big jump in The Score share price over the past couple of days. I am considering trimming my position. However before I do this could you please send me an update on its fundamentals. In particular what are its present revenue and earnings and how much of that, if any, comes from the gaming sector. How much increase in revenue/earnings might occur should the new legislation go through.

Also how long do you think it might take for this legislation to take effect, once it has passed. It is my understanding that each province will then need to make their own decision on whether to allow single sport gaming. Is this an accurate assessment?

Finally I'm not quite sure of what single sport gaming means. Could you please elaborate on this and what it means for The Score.

Thanks again for the excellent service that you provide!

Q: Good morning 5i: I would like to have a small position in a US vaccine company. Both Moderna and Novavax had great run-ups these past few days. Should I wait for pull back or jump in? And which one would you prefer? Thanks so much.

Q: My income is much lower this year. I own 40 Costco shares with an ~$4500 gain. I’m wondering about selling them post dividend to solidify the capital gain. Do I then need to wait 30 days before re-purchasing? If you sell a stock and re-buy within 30 days, then you can’t claim the capital gain or loss? What is your opinion of this strategy?

Q: Hi team,
What do you think of this recently created ETF ?
It looks good to cover Covid-19 vaccines, but also other epidemics diseases after the present pandemic. Any better ideas ?

Gratefully,
