Q: Hello 5i,

Sorry to add another question on Withholding tax. If the proposal goes through, is there an advantage to hold CDR's instead of US stocks directly?

Q: Sensio Technologies was purchased by Nordic Capital in July 2024.
The stock is still listed as S107678 but never shows trading.
Is there still value for those shares that were trading prior to the company takeover by Nordic Capital?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
Thanks for your update.... I dont really understand the mechanics of how a deal like this unfolds....24 M share + another potential 4M as you said thats a lots of shares, especially compared to daily trading volume... I imagine this deal would not be feasible if only listed on TSX...

ie: So Who takes these shares, and then how do they sell their shares, are there conditions to meet and what determines the purchase prices for these buyers?
thx

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
QST is up 25% today...why do you think? Thanks for your assessment which is always helpful!

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

Realizing that there are a number of catalysts that 'could' boost the share price of PBH, we're concerned that it will take too long. It was purchased several years ago for a TFSA at an (ugh) average cost of $122. The last time I looked, it was trading at $80.23.
Even with the dividends received (thank goodness for dividends in this case), we are still down $17,300.

Here's the question: Even with all the positive catalysts going forward, do you think that the share price will increase enough to at least break even when accounting for dividends? Or do you think that we should swallow the loss and move to something else that has a more attractive valuation and greater upside?

As always, your comments and insights are very helpful.

Q: What do you recommend for an ETF or actively managed fund which holds high quality (blue chip) stocks, and pays out some dividends?
