Q: Good afternoon 5i
I have noticed that recently you have been recommending stocks like Nvdia as having the possibility of short term growth. I have sold call options on Nvidia on a regular basis but wonder if I might be better holding off on this strategy for a time, beause of the possibility of short term growth you mentionned. I do only sell a small portion of my Nvidia for options and keep some in reserve, so I will not completely miss an upside move. But, still we hate to see the stock move well above the strike price. How do you approach a situation like this?
thanks

Q: Hi team,
Since it's been a little while since LMN announced it's acquisition of some Nokia assets, has there been any more information found on perhaps more of the financial details of this acquisition? I was thinking that somebody must know some details? Perhaps analysts that had been familiar with Nokia might know the revenue estimates of the assets that were sold to LMN? The stock moved up dramatically since the acquisition; almost like someone was in the "know" . Just curious here. Also...at what point would you consider LMN a "buy" again (I had thought it was previously mentioned that the shares might pullback some after the quick run up). The shares have pulled back some in the new year...should I be patient before adding or just buy now? I was debating on either buying either LMN or BN for a long term tfsa contribution and cannot decide which one,

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: If FFH still attractive given its recent appreciation? On Nov 11, you said, "If rates stay where they are for longer, FFH could perform well from here" - agreed, but won't there be a point at which the market starts baking-in the implications of their decline - that is, at which it expects FFH to become less profitable? Or is this more of a Brookfield situation, in which we should expect FFH to capitalize on its interest-rate-driven windfall by, say, pivoting to growth opportunities?

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on the above minimum rate reset preferred share. Please confirm the dividend receives the dividend tax credit , the new dividend rate and the security of the dividend. Also do you have any thoughts about why it appears to be trading at a discount to its peers especially when it has just reset at a higher rate. Do you have any concerns about these shares?Thanks Brian

Q: BNS has been a big disappointment for many years. With every year that passes, I say to myself to be patient and give it more time. The new CEO needs time, the acquisitions need time, the valuation is attractive, reversion to the mean is a powerful force, 5i really likes it etc etc. Yet each year, there is no improvement.

I just looked at TD's EPS Consensus Expectations for 2024, and they are less than 2023! Earnings for 2023 were poor, and considerable lower than 2022 and 2021.

Please tell me why I should continue holding on.

Thanks
