Q: Even though LNF had a good last quarter, I am having a hard time understanding why Leon's is holding up as well as it is. When you build a house or do major reno's, you need to buy or upgrade your furniture. However, if the economy and specifically the housing industry are slowing down (as they are now), your need for furniture should follow suit. Shouldn't Leon's stock price follow suit and drop off more? I must be missing something. Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: MG: really low debt., low P.R., great ROE, beat EPS estimates by a fair bit 3/4 Q reported so far. Down a lot. FPE of 4.2 x. This thing looks like a good long-term buy: suffering over fears of shut downs - COVID-19? Even with electrical vehicles coming they would be involved and gas/dis. vehicles will be the majority for a long time still, don't you think> Is this a good buy for the long term?

Q: Is it likely that when the dust settles after this crisis, with all the government spending, that we may enter into a period of hyper inflation? In your opinion, would I be better off sitting on cash or gold?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
It is my understanding that MDI is one of the best drilling companies in the world. I realize that a recession would reduce the demand for minerals, fuels etc. and reducing income. However 50% of there contracts is drilling for gold which does look positive for the next several years. Larry Berman on BNN predicts gold will hit $1900.00 within 2 years. So I am wondering if this might be a good contrarian investment at all time low prices or is this just another value trap. Your general assessment would be appreciated. Thank you immensely.

Q: Hi,
A question about this company was asked to your team sometime in January and you mentioned that it was an expensive stock at that time, based on certain metrics.
Since then, DT has fallen significantly but I was surprised that on Friday (March 20th), it bucked the trend and closed up over 9%.
Has the stock reached a point whereby it is now cheap?

Your opinion is appreciated.

Q: Good Morning,
There has been a lot of talk about the value of owning gold in a portfolio recently. I was wondering if you could let me know how I can go about owning gold inside my TFSA? In addition, would now be a good time to buy gold, or would it be better to wait until markets rebound. In other words, is gold a better buy when markets are doing well.

Regards,

Ryan

Q: Am I right in thinking that I can carry forward any tax loss I incur? Given that I've no current gains to offset, I'd like to prepare for some selling later on. Is this wise?

Q: Hi there,

I'm sitting in all cash currently and am looking to rebuild my portfolio over the next 6 months. I prefer concentration of about 15-20 names. Which names from your Balanced Equity Portfolio would you start nibbling away at here in order from first to last? Or what would be a good 6 names to start with? Also, would you buy any full positions here, or would you start with half or quarter in these economic times? If you could share some information on the best way to rebuild a portfolio using individual equities at the time, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i team
Thanks for working through this mess.
I have BCE, ENB, EIF, FSZ, MG, PBH, SPB in a non registered. I can sell these for a tax loss presently but should I, and if I do should I replace them with similar dividend players or risk 30 days to buy them back? This might fall into the personal decision category but if there is any comments or advice that you could provide please.
Thanks
Jeremy

Q: Re A.T.&T. (symbol T not in your database) states in cancelling a large share repurchase "impacts of pandemic could be material & unable to estimate impact on results."
I would have thought a telecom would see increased business from its various services and not be in a bind like this. What is the 5i take on this and would other telecoms be in the same boat as T?
