Q: Hello

Can you please comment on Laurentian Bank. I am very disappointed in this company as the price has fallen significantly in addition to dividends cut a few years back.
its in my registered account, so cannot utilizes the losses
My question, Do you think that they are a potential take over target? Perhaps TD?

With BCE, again very disappointed in this company. With their recent dividend cut, do you think we have seen bottom on stock price? I do see that it has had some growth lately, but it has a long way to go

With CGO, Do you think that their is an opportunity for both Telus and Cogeco to merge? Or see CGO as a take over target now?

Thank you

Q: Please rank according to current buy rating. All of these equities are dividend aristocrats with current dividend/distribution higher than 4.5%. Thanks

Q: td analysts see this going up 100% this year and also dividend raises. It has done well compared to other canadian telcos and pays a 6.5% dividend and has been raising some 8-10%[just raised 8%]. Am i missing something since bce drops 30% for year and will not raise dividend or possibly cut in future. what is your take on cogeco for future as a dividend investor

Q: Hi Team,
Would you choose Rogers or Cogeco to get exposure to the wireless sector?
I would lean towards CCA due to CDPQ "partnership" that could limit the drawdown in my opinion and the high leverage of Rogers.

Second question ? Would you prefer CGO vs CCA to get exposure to Cogeco and why?

Thank you !

Q: Hello 5i Team

I currently hold shares in Cogeco Communications Inc. (CCA) which currently have a capital loss.

Can I sell Cogeco Communications Inc. (CCA) and book the tax loss and concurrently purchase Cogeco Inc. (CGO) as a hedge for the next 30 days and then re-buy CCA.

Would this keep me on-side with Canada Revenue Agency and the superficial capital loss rules?

Thank you

Q: I currently hold BCE, and I was wondering if it might be worthwhile to sell BCE to purchase Cogeco, as there was previously an offering by Rogers and Altice to buy the remaining shares at what sounded like roughly a 60% premium to current prices. I know the offer was explicitly rejected, but could this mean that either another offer is on its way, or perhaps that there is significant untapped potential in Cogeco? If this is a worthwhile trade, shares of CCA do more volume than CGO - would that be the more prudent purchase? As always, I appreciate your insight, and look forward to reading your comments. Thanks again!

Q: Hi 5i team,
Rogers and Altice are back again with a higher offer for CGO and CCA. The Audet family, who hold the controlling interests, have rejected it again and have stated that this is not a negotiating ploy. The revised offer will be submitted to the Boards of CCA and CGO. What in your view typically happens in hostile bids with a controlling shareholder? Does the controlling shareholder really control how these events unfold or do the minority shareholders start applying pressure to start negotiating and then it becomes merely a matter of price?
Thanks for the insight.

Q: Hi 5I
Looking for some growth + income. Given the recent drop in cogeco share price would you consider this to be a good entry point to initiate a 2- 3 yr position or would you consider Rogers or Bce as better options?
Thanks

Q: Hi,

You just responded to my question but you didn't really answer it. I am trying to understand some potential reasons WHY Cogeco has erupted this year. Can you go a bit deeper in your response?

Thank you
