What do you think about Nova Leap Healthcare? Company is growing by acquisitions and insiders hold over 30% in the company. Company increased revenues from $1M to $12M from 2017 to 2018.

Q: Even if ENB's scale of operations and growth profile make Michigan's lawsuit a small bump on the road, I would have expected the announcement to have had some impact on the share price - and it did: the price went up. What is the market's reasoning, here?

Q: Could you please shed some light on Echelon's 'special dividend'. I'm having a hard time finding accurate info. What is the dividend; when is it paid; if I buy shares going forward do I automatically get the special dividend? Thank you.

Q: I just found your section on "companies." Great site. I am interested in finding dividend and revenue growth for companies. Let's look at Enbridge as an example. You list the 3-year dividend growth as 11.01% and the 5-year dividend growth as 15.88%.
Enbridge currently pays a dividend of $2.96. In 2016 it was $2.12 and in 2014 it was $1.40. These represent growth of 28.38% and 111.43% respectfully.
My question: Is your posting of dividend growth rates an annualized rate? I assume your 3-year dividend growth of 11.01% and 5-year of 15.88% are annualized rates. Am I correct in this assumption?
The same question for revenue growth. You state the 3-year as 10.87% and the 5-year as 5.62%. Are these annualized rates?
Thank you
Michael

Q: Do you think Boyd Group has much upside potential considering that it has done so well over the last few years. Would you consider it a strong buy?

Q: Hi Peter, A question was asked about which stocks you see doubling and the answer was that you dont necessarily see a doubling but a potential moving higher of the stock and you mentioned SHOP, KXS etc. Based on past questions you seemed bullish on LSPD. Any reason you did not include LSPD in that list of stocks?

Thanks,

Q: Hello 5i team,
It seems to me that interest rates will remain low in the next year or so; in that context, would it be wise to invest in the above ETFs. I would be happy if I got a return of 2 or 3%.

Antoine

Q: Canaccord is up 10% today, which is a rare upwards move. Can you share what news was interpreted favourably. Also, what do you think of Canaccord as a turn-around play for a holding part of my financial sector allocation? Technically today's move might "fix it" but I'm curious about the fundamental side. What do they do?

Q: Hi there,

I currently own PXT and was thinking of switching to QST. What would your thoughts be on this switch. I was thinking QST could be a "better" play on the oil industry and one that is less exposed to the price of the resource and with better upside overall. Thoughts?

Thanks!
