Jim

Q: Dear Peter et al!

I am not good in coming up with limericks! If I were, I would somehow use Peter/Ryan and TD/BNS/BN in a limerick ! If I said you folks sound like a broken record it would be rude. May I say you sing that lovely tune that consists of notes TD/BNS/BN/RY always! Faithfully endorsing a buy on the above mentioned stocks.

But here is my question based on my mild bewilderment! On one hand your faith in BN is linked strongly to Mr. Bruce Flatt's managerial skills. But on the other hand BNS's CEO didn't meet your approval and you were at best very tepid in welcoming him! TD's foray into the M&A domain was a disaster!

Having said that my faith in your suggestions is unshakable! With this in mind, can you rank order these stocks in terms of priority of buying at this stage. How long do you think one has to wait for these stocks to return to decent price range. a year or two or three? Your crystal ball is lot clearer than mine!!

These are going to be held in our TFSAs and plan to buy and forget about them for a while! Keepers and not traders!

Q: Hi 5i,
I own HTL and hope you can provide your thoughts on the long term prospects for this company. It seems to be stuck in a trading range for the last year but did very well during 2021 to 2022. I thought the business was very interesting. thanks

Q: I have a small position in MDB and I'm uncertain to add to or just hold. After reviewing past answers I wonder if your views have changed. Are you more positive? Analyst reviews from Scotia McCloud are so so. To my eyes, the technicals look good - actually better than its peers. Does MDB have an advantage in the market? Would you prefer another company competitor with more torque? Thanks..........Lionel

Q: I know that Five Below is one of 5i's favourites. SP has come off handsomely over the past 6 or 7 weeks. Any particular reason to sell, or change in company to justify drop?

Q: TIXT stock has been in a steady decline in recent quarters. Does this reflect a decline in their business fundamentals (slower growth) and prospects going forward?

Q: Received from RBC Direct Investment:

A Tender Offer for: Dye & Durham Limited. Common***Dye & Durham Limited

This offer is made by: Dye & Durham Limited.

Unsure how to respond?

Thank you.

Q: I compared the 6 month stock price performance of the following as Nasdaq stocks and as CDR's:: AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, META, & NVDA
All stocks showed better returns on the Nasdaq.
than as CDR's probably due to currency fluctuation but I am puzzled by the huge discrepancy in the gains between the 2 exchanges. eg. AAPL & NVDA show a 25% higher gain - AMZN 12.4% - GOOG 16% - META 1.7%
Can you explain?
Thanks, Hugh
You can treat as a private question at your discretion.

Q: What are your thoughts on this dividend growth ETF?
Thanks

Q: I would like to sell either one of NTR or CJT, both had been slipping this year. I would like to lock in the gains before they slide any further. Which one of these two names you would recommend to sell and not likely to regret later? Thanks.

Q: Commercial real estate is in big trouble. Do you have any recommendations how to take advantage of the declining fortunes of this sector, in Canada or the US? Is there an inverse commercial real estate etf? Have the stock prices of the sector already been priced in?

Q: Dear 5i,
In regards to BEPC:CA, BEP.UN:CA, BEPC:US, BEP:US and stock Beta.
Your web site reports: 0.80, 0.76, 1.09 and 0.87 respectively.
Does your web site report 3 Year Beta? If not, what is it? What is a reasonable Year Beta statistic to consider? Can you help explain why the Beta varies quite dramatically with the four different Brookfield Renewable tickers? There doesn't seem to be any obvious correlation between the Corporate versions and the different Currencies?

Q: Hi, Telus stock has shed about 8% of its value over past 3 weeks and is trading very close to its 52 weeks low of $25.95, back in January. Is this the " higher interest rates for longer fear " for Telcos/Utilities or, there are business issues specific to Telus. If none, does it male sense to add at these levels for income/growth ?

BCE has also declined by about the same %, during the same period, but is still well above its 52 week low.

Thank You

Q: Hi, Does Mason Capital Group - Hedge Fund still own 19.5% of ATS shares, or shares were divested at some point ? So, is Capital Group, the largest shareholder with about 10.05% ownership ? With ATS Insiders owning 20% of shares, what is the total Institutional ownership ? Thank You

Q: I have both of the above ETF's. Thinking of selling all of ZWB and adding to ZEB . While I like the high yield of the covered calls I think there is better opportunity for capital appreciation. with ZEB. as the values of all the banks are down. This would be aa long term hold. Your thoughts .

Q: As much as I’d like to buy all three, I can only buy one right now. In what order would you purchase for a two to three year hold?

Q: Do you recommend purchasing any of these banks right now, especially with those with foreign investments?

Q: Hi Peter,

I’m wondering if IXL Learning is publicly traded?

Thanks,
Jim
