Q: Hey 5i,
Could you comment on the upcoming ipo of green for life? Do you know a date? Projected share price? They’ve been growing very quickly through acquisition, and some lucrative public contracts. Looking at how other waste companies have done in the past (waste connection, waste management inc.) it has potential to be a great “ground floor” opportunity. Thanks for your insight.

Q: The Canadian materials ETF "XMA" seems to have broken resistance from 2017-2018. I see that 50% of its constituents are gold and silver streamers, plus, gold mining companies. I think I like this ETF as a lower-stress asset to bet on precious metals going higher, but instead of betting only on gold miners with XGD, XMA holds other sectors like metal miners. My question is.... what do you think about the other 50% in that ETF? Are those other companies also looking good/better?

Q: Hi,
Could you please comment on AT.TO. It has done nothing but go down since being listed on the TSX (I thought this would give it a boost). Does it look like perhaps the top is in? Are there any catalysts to drive this higher and why is it being sold down daily?

Thank you,
Lenny

Q: In my question on Absolute Software, you mentioned that there are better growth prospects out there. I am looking for growth. Would that be Otex, Descartes, Enghouse or some other faster grower in that field.

Q: This is a follow up question to my previous question about building a solid portfolio sector distribution.

You mentioned "If inflation picks up, you might want more consumer staples and less consumer disc (it is the other way around right now)"

Are you saying that it would be best to have more Consumer Disc now than Consumer Staples? If so, why?

Thanks again,

Fed

Q: Considering only the dividends and disregarding the other differences, what is more likely, that a strong covered call etf such as ZWH would stop paying a dividend, or that an annuity purchased from a major bank would stop making payments? Or are both extremely unlikely events regardless of the economic scenario?
