Q: A PSA for all. I finally achieved my first double as a member of the 5i fan club. The stock is...... drum roll.... CSU. Bought in 2017 at the low low price of $650.00.

My next double would seem to be BYD. Bought in at $96.00. So for those out there who think that stocks like the one mentioned are too expensive, take heed. Not all work out, but the doubles help.

Q: Hi, could you please explain the impact of proposed changes to Executive Compensation plan, announced today. How does, the one time cash payment of $12 mln to the two executives, in buying out comapany's contractual obligation under the currnet cash bonus plan, impact company's upcoming earnings, for Q1 of fiscal 2020? What is the purpose of issuing 1.825 mln stock options at current market price ? Does the new compensation structure incentivise Executives for improved stock performance, over time and thus benefit shareholders ? Do you expect a positive market reaction to the NR ? Stock has recently been drifting lower, even when market/technology shares have done well. Thanks so much for your valued insight.

Q: Good Evening,

I bought Cameco stocks over 5 years ago. At the time, I thought it was a good 'bet' because historically Cameco had reached a high of around $60 per share. I bought in at $22. Despite the passage of time, this stock has stayed around the $10-$12 range. I will admit, this stock was an impulse buy. It was one of those stories where I heard a friend say something and I went ahead and purchased it without doing the proper research. I have elected to hold it because I figure I'm still getting the dividends and I will only lose money if I sell. I am wondering what 5i thinks about holding this stock. Do I hold, or cut my losses and reinvest this money into something else?

Q: I respect the opinions of Both Eric Nuttal and Joseph Schachter. Eric expresses some optimism that pipeline construction will occur. A Liberal minority is a real possibility. The Greens have said pipeline construction is a no go and Quebec (ie. the Bloc) is antipipeline, as I believe is the NDP. How can any minority government, even one which bought a pipeline ( and who has at best been a soft supporter) get a pipeline built. The positive is that, as you mentioned in a previous answer, some of these stocks are trading at 3-4 times cash flow so their stocks are extremely cheap. With all of that, would it be prudent to wait until late in the year before committing to buying oil stocks and see how things shake out politically? Thanks Bill
