Q: Hi,
In Dec 2021, BMO announced to acquire Bank of West from BNP Paribas for US$16.3-bil. This is a big amount. Normally companies finance these kind of huge acquisition by issuing debt and equity. Whenever new equity is being issued, stock price of issuing company falls during that time. Do you think BMO will issue new equity? Is there any place where someone can get information these kind of news?
Thanks

Q: OSK took a heavy hit today. This would appear to be connected to a news story that the joint venture agreement they had to develop their property was terminated with their intended JV partner. I am inclined to speculate that the partner saw some bad results and pulled out. Can you verify that or provide any other explanation? The story reports OSK is going forward with that project on their own; what is the outlook for their project? And for OSK? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Good Day My question is about the earnings of SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust. They seem to have their core as retail but are branching off into residential, storage, and senior complexes. I have always liked this management team and they have done us good over the years. Can you comment on their earnings and your thoughts on the direction of other real estate assets?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I would like to ask about the GOOG fractional shares traded on the NEO exchange.

Do you views these shares any differently than their underlying share?

How they would be treated in light of the upcoming split of the common shares?

Are these types of fractional shares subject to withholding taxes if held inside a TFSA?

Thanks for the great service!

Colin
