Q: In Saturday's Globe and Mail, Rob Carrick recommended investing in target maturity bond ETFs which, unlike traditional bond ETFs, pay the initial investment plus interest i on the maturity date. After having seen my bond ETFs go down dramatically over the past year, this seems like a good alternative. I would like your opinion . Do you see any potential negatives for these types of bond ETFs? Are if there are any such ETFs that you would recommend?

Q: “Has sold shares in company.
Company has too much retail orientation (very hard business).
Auto-body shops require large capital investments.
Strong franchise - but would wait for shares to fall before investing. “
This is what a recent guest on bnn said about Boyd recently. I have to say that I am quite surprised and pleased with the way Boyd has risen from the ashes in the past year. But, like the above mentioned guest, i wonder if it is in a bit of a hard business. It is difficult for me to really judge, though, so i thought that I would lean on your wonderful slogan that diy investing doesn’t mean you have to be on your own, and so i ask your opinion on this.
Thanks as always

Q: Please comment on today's earning. Would you step in to initiate a position now? Thanks.
Q: Rick Reider at Blackrock has started a new income fund listed as BINC on NYSE. Would ask you to examine this fund and provide any views, concerns, etc you can at this early stage. Am I correct that it has no yield such that it would only produce capital gain or loss once sold and therefore no tax while held from dividend income. Aside from its lack of track record at this point does the intended approach of this fund and the reputation and history of the manager lead you to a possible positive view of this as a worthy income investment for an investor preferring capital appreciation over yield. Thank you..

Q: Hello 5i, Could you comment on Electrovaya as a company to invest in.
Q: Can you comment on the ballooning Stock based Compensation given to the CEO
I assumed this compensation was in the form of options which could be said to incentivize management, but that is not the case. They are being compensated in Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), meaning units that could be converted to stock at market value after a certain period, without management having achieved anything. This compensation is in addition to their equity, existing options, and salaries, all of which are substantial. The board essentially gave them free money, no strings attached. I don't know how this could be seen to benefit shareholders. If you know, please tell me

Q: Is BDT a good buy at this time?
Q: If you didn't own any banks but are realizing they are getting to attractive price points that have div yields only seen one other time in the last 25 years (covid), and you were considering TD or RY. TD looks attractive because of its bigger pullback due to US M&A mishaps, while RY has not pulled back nearly as much and has been stable. TD having the bigger div but RY outperforming TD by a pretty big margin over every time frame. Which would you chose today, TD for valuation or RY for long term outperformance? This is for a long term hold. Thx
