Q: In the past you have noted that CSU is one of the best managed companies in Canada and there can be no argument there. Are they getting tired? In round terms CSU is up 20% in the past 1 year while ENGH is up 100%. Is it time for me to get off the CSU horse which has served me well. What would be your recommended replacement if yes please?

Q: My 27 yo son has just had $36k CAD deposited into his LIRA. His portfolio is reasonably balanced, so don't let sector influence your response.

Plse give me some names to consider.

Q: What do you think of Innovation as a new sector? Here is a quote from a white paper published by Ark Funds:
"Based on our analysis presented in this paper, we believe innovation should be considered as a strategic allocation, if not a sub-asset class, in global public equity portfolios, much as emerging markets have evolved during the last 40 years. In our ever-changing world, as industries are disintermediated or displaced, and lifespans of companies shorten, investors should capitalize on alternative sources of growth by rethinking traditional asset allocation. Specifically, we think investors should ask themselves whether they sufficiently have incorporated disruptive innovation into their portfolio construction." From https://arkinv.st/3lJMsrl

Q: Good day. If I have 1000 shares of company ABC, 200 in one account and 800 in another account, can I just sell the 800 in one account, wait the 30 days and then buy back the 800 after the 30 day period? Tx
Q: Hi All,
With the help of 5i research, my portfolio was well diversified and full of strong named well positioned to withstand the pandemic. The two exceptions were small positions in AC (which I fortunately sold half of @ $45/share) and CAE. Would you hold these depressed names in the hopes of a news based pop or move the immaterial amount of capital into stronger names for the next few years? If the latter, any suggested replacement names? (Please feel free to deduct multiple credits here as i rexognize i asked two questions)

Q: I thought I had asked this earlier to day, however haven’t seen a response.
My question relates to the usable life of solar panels and the blades used for generating power via wind. I don’t know of anybody recycling the panels or the big blades. Is there a way to economically recycle or use these things at the end of their usable lives. Or are we setting up our children to find an answer to a mess we created like we have done with radioactive waste.

Q: Good afternoon 5iR,
I am requesting help with understanding why Manulife would trade 22,000 boe/d for 12.5% of Whitecap’s and NAL’s combined 82,000 boe/d, which amounts to 10,250 boe/d. All numbers from Whitecap’s August 31, 2020 press release. Why is a barrel of Whitecap’s oil worth over 2 barrels of NAL’s oil. Are NAL’s reserves much lower than Whitecap’s. Otherwise Manulife is to be lauded for taking the long term view for value of a growing, progressive Whitecap and Whitecap is to be congratulated for making a great deal especially with respect to deleveraging the balance sheet.
I do not own shares in WCP or MFC either directly or indirectly.
Thank you for your highly valued assistance.
Cyril

Q: How can a small investor get stock in a new IPO OR DO ONLY THE BIG BOYS GET TO PARTICIPATE.
Q: Can you comment on reasons for recent weakness. Would you hold on or take a loss ? I’m patient and willing to wait 12-18 months if you feel this is worthwhile.
Q: Hi,
How are the very large gov't deficits ($3T + US / $300B + CDA) being financed at such low interest rates. I understand the FEDs are buying a fair share but how can this be sustainable long term? How can private investors accept long term rates lower than inflation? I know this coul fill a book. Your general comments are appreciated. Thank you!

Q: Good morning team,
I'm looking to start a half-position in a financial company with the best prospects for total return over the next 10 years to augment my current holdings of TD and SLF. Given a choice between BAM and GSY (or another name if you think there is a better option), which would you select?
Thanks in advance,
Rory

Q: I really liked your answer about 'dead money' to Jason's question about riocan today. I'd like to get your impression of other reits: IIP.UN, BPY.UN, CAR.UN, and DIR.UN. Are they like dead money for a while? Are they good buys considering their book value per share is lower or close to their market value or do you think they can go down further? Are there any in this list that you would not recommend?
thanks!
thanks!
