Q: Good morning 5i,
I have a loss in Gild and have been waiting for a time to claim it and buy a replacement. It seems to me that the recent drop in Abbivie might provide that opportunity, unless there is something I don't see. Would you think that this would be the best opportunity in this field at the moment?
thanks as always for your great work

Q: Hi Peter,
Do you see anything "funny" about this redeemable reset preferred?
Current price is $21.98. Resets on 2022-09-30. Resets at 5YR + 2.92%. Currently the reset is then 2.83% + 2.92% = 5.75%. If PPL didn't redeem then you'd get a dividend rate of 6.55% based on the @21.98 price. If they do redeem then you get a $3.02 gain for 5 months.
Do I have my facts correct or am I missing a detail or two?

Q: Hi 5i Team -In a question recently asked you mentioned that Shopify is still not cheap. At what price could it be considered a decent valuation. Also in your answer to a previous question you mentioned Shopify has $6.7 Billion in cash. How much per share does this work out to be and is it a significant amount in this context. Do you see them deploying some of this cash to make an acquisition or even to buy back shares. As a summary, are the fundamentals much the same as they were a few months ago when Shopify's share price was much higher. Thank you.

Q: Is the sell off in industrial and multi-family Reits reached full on insanity levels? Seems massively over blown to me. Do folks actually think rates are going back to 1970’s levels (I don’t). Thanks

Q: 5iteam: Retired income seeking investor that anckored my portfolio with VRIF for reasonable stability with a 4% yield. I am down currently 8% and maybe counting. Can you give me your perspective on what and why with a 50/50 split to stocks and bonds performance has suffered? Would you consider it a good hold for my needs or suggest another prospect with more potential and security worth tacking a loss for the switch? As usual much appreciated Larry

Q: I see the VIX is around 35 today (May 2/22). I seem to remember that it was reasonable to consider to start buying again when it hit 40. Your thoughts?

Thanks...Steve

PS...Please remember to ring the bell when we hit bottom.
