Q: Hi Team,
I have recently bought roughly an equal amount of holdings in both CAE and REAL. Currently I am up approx 4% with CAE, and down 9% with REAL. I was wondering if it would be a good move to perhaps trim say 1/3 of my CAE and use it to average down some on REAL at this time. Or, should I just hold the course? I bought CAE as a recovery play, and REAL for its growth its currently experiencing. Which do you see as having more upside in the next year or 2? Thanks

Shane.

Q: I hold a 5.9% position in ZWU in a registered account. I have surplus US cash in a non-registered account to put to work and was thinking of XLU which yields approx 3.4%. I realize this distribution will be treated as income by CRA [I am retired - low tax bracket] but it seems better than letting the funds just sit. If you could offer other suggestions I'd appreciate them. Thanks.....

Q: Hello,

My partner and I heard about 5i from a friend whose been using you for many years. You came with the highest recommendation.

I feel like I should be copying one of your portfolios, especially due to my lack of knowledge, but it is very important for me that my investments to follow my ethics.

I would like to know which companies on your balanced and growth portfolios would be highest on positive environmental, social and corporate governance, which are low and should be switched and for which companies. I'm happy to do research, but I'm struggling to navigate the important statistics and feeling incompetent in finding good resources. I have seen your ESG scores (https://www.5iresearch.ca/blog/ESG-tsx-companies) and would be keen to know where to find information on how they are created. I would also appreciate other resources that you think would assist in building a portfolio, or simply which companies you would put on it.

Thank-you,

Q: Hi Peter.
What is your thoughts on Evertz business and the current valuation.

They generate alot of free cash flow, have no debt, post high returns on invested capital and have shown modest growth.

Why does the market not give this tech beauty a little more love ? Seems like the price gets "stuck" and there is not a fundamental group of investors behind the equity who will bridge the value into the price. Your thoughts please.

Respect

Q: I understand the US is moving forward a bill that may cause the delisting of Chinese companies currently listed in US exchanges. I am holding BABA and ZTO (Cayman) for a few years now with good gains. What is going to happen to these currently listed companies if I continue to hold these stocks? Thanks.
