Q: I have some ecn in my riff and need to get some cash available for my year end withdrawal and need to know if the dividend payment is in fact to be paid before year end to cover my government obligation so I will not have to sell other stocks to meet the cash requirement. Please advise.
Cheers Doug

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

For my wife's 2022 TFSA contribution, and my contribution, and wishing to add to existing positions only, as well as noting that both sectors are low (according to Portfolio Analysis), would you be okay with adding the 6K to PBH for one account, and 6K to ENB for the other?

Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: Hi everybody,
I know you don’t trust much analysts’ price target, but I’m still trying to get a picture for NFI.

Your Market Data shows recommandations from only 3 analysts 1Buy/1Hold/1Sell. TipRanks have 7 (4B,2H,1S), Yahoo Finance shows 8 analysts (6 Buy in November), BMO Investorline gives at least 6 recent price targets (mostly cuts). This is a bit frustrating… How often are the Market Data recommandations updated ? Can we rely on up to date Key Ratios?

Thanks.

Q: Could you please rank in order as what you see as having the best long term growth potential? Or any names in the same field that you believe are even better. I’m pondering the companies that will benefit as a result of the report released today by the Canada Energy Regulator.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

Fresh off a short attack on NVEI the US government has acknowledged they are looking into short-selling. It will be the usual debacle that accomplishes nothing.

Unethical short-selling while launching documents to the general public will only stop when disgruntled investors take matters into their own hand and remove upper management staff in organizations such as Spruce Point Management. Their philosophy is to repeat the NVEI and LSPD short-selling fiasco as a strategy to make huge profits.

It is truly unfortunate that human greed exceeds logical life decisions, It is amazing how many push this limit when it comes to money.

I'll be chilling in Cuba with a few drinks next week. Hopefully Ben Axler sits beside me. Now THAT would present an interesting life decision.

Cheers,

Q: Hello 5i team,
AEM has been on a steady decline since Oct of last year (~70%). Is this around the same time as news came of the merger with Kirkland?

I was thinking of entering into the gold/mineral space since I have no exposure. I looked at the slides for the merger, and paints a rosy picture (synergies, dividend growth, etc...). The markets do not seem to like this merger very much based on the price.

Is there anything you know of that would cause this drop aside from markets in general being weary of company mergers?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hi Team,
What's your current views of MED and SWKS? I have been underwater pretty much on both these I bought them. Should I continue to hold or is there other stocks I should be replacing these with instead that stand out as screaming buys as of today? I particularly don't understand the weakness of SWKS. From what I can see it trades much cheaper valuation than most chips stocks, has good growth, has a partnership with Apple (which I know some view as a negative), is in the 5G business as well which should be a highly growing sector. The lack of interest is a bit confusing. Would it be a takeover target? You would think if chips are so hard to come buy perhaps apple would just buy them with their pocket change one day to bolster their supply chain? Thoughts? Thanks

Shane.

Q: I'm down about 15% on BIP.UN and am thinking of a tax loss sale and purchasing either NPI or BLX; and then reentering BEP in January. I currently hold CPX and AQN.

A similar question had been asked previously in June, and 5i's recommendation was either NPI or BLX. Has anything changed with these companies since June? What would be your preference for a short term hold today and why?

Many thanks!
