Q: My timing in purchasing was terrible, and now I am just watching my investment lose value every day. Should one expect a timely turnaround here ? I fear Tyson’s mega chicken plant in Sioux City will have the same issues as the Waterloo pork facility ... I feel like I am waiting for more bad news to murder my investment ,.. please advise .

Q: HI Team
I see that Auspice has warned investors about buying this unit, since it winds up may 22 and it is trading way above it's net asset value, trading about $5 and net asset value about $ 2.50, would not shorting the stock at this price be a good move. I understand it is a gamble, but as long as oil dosn't move up in a big way, it's a "sure bet"
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

I have about 30k in some terrible mutual funds (don’t ask) but would like to keep it simple and put this into one ETF without concern to sectors or risk. I know they are very new but are you able to comment on DXN or DXW? I’m also looking as DXG and DXF. And an advisor recommended moving some money into DYN800 – is there any good reason for an investor to put money into this fund? Please take as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks for this great service.

Q: Whenever we recover from the current Covid-19 crisis, and business starts to return to some semblance of normal, how much growth do you see in
- New Store Openings for CTC's various retail franchises?
- In growing the membership in Triangle credit cards?
- In growth in sales through e-Commerce?
Collectively, does the growth potential post-Covid 19 look sizeable, or do you see CTC as pretty much a low-growth business?
Thank you.
Edward

Q: I have positions in both companies in my TFSA. With the turmoil in the oil industry, the damage to oil companies and the likelihood that it will continue for a while, I have been thinking about selling QST and buying more XBC. Individual stock weightings is not an issue. Your thoughts ?

Q: Hello 5i,
Thanks for all your great work.
I've been impressed with the unique way that Aritzia has carved out a place for itself in the Canadian retail sector. I've been thinking about stepping in and buying some discounted shares. Can you please comment on your overall thoughts on the company, it's financial strength and it's ability to make it to the other side of the virus disruption.
Thanks so much,
Murray

Q: So apparently dog shelters have few if any rescues available and breeders also are without puppies now that folks are homebound and seeking furry companions. What do you think about Zoetis as an investment at this time from a risk reward perspective - would you recommend it as a buy, is its debt a problem - any other cautions. It hasn't dropped very much in this environment so would you average in gradually? Many thanks for the help. Ken

Q: When I go in Florida in the winter I really like this restaurant chain, They have the best steaks for a really good price ! They have over 500 restaurants in all the states and they have no debt and over 100 millions in cash. They cut their dividend and the big bosses have all cut their salaries for this crisis. Do you think it is a good investment at the present price and do you prefer other chains for investments ? Thanks
