Q: Good morning
I like that FRU does not have direct exploration and production risk, and was considering FRU for 'safe' income and some growth in dividend and capital over time. The surprise resignation of the CEO gives one pause. Does 5i have any information on why Thomas Mullane resigned? Does 5i see underlying red flags here? How does 5i rate FRU's overall position in the industry for 'safe' income and some growth in an industry under pressure?
Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i Team
Is there a readily available website listing the subordinated voting shares on the TSX?
With the recent takeover offer for Cogeco / Cogeco Communications, a spotlight has been shown on multiple voting / non-voting shares?
What is 5i opinion on whether multiple voting / non-voting shares are beneficial for the small retail investor?
This might be a suggestion for a blog entry similar to Canadian companies paying US dollar dividends.
Thanks

I have about 2% of RCI.B in my portfoilio, and it seems keep going down. And I have lost some 20% of it. Should I take the loss? I also own GIB.A with a gain of 68%, I wonder if I should take the gain on this one.

Please take enough points for my questions.
Thank you.

Q: ON 11 September I asked you to recommend several Canadian listed health care stocks, which you provided, thank you. I should also have asked you if you agree with David Rosenberg that this category of stocks could be "the next big stock market winners"?

Q: In the balanced portfolio, there are 25 Companies. Of these companies, which do you anticipate raising or restoring their dividends, and which companies do you feel are ripe for M&A, either way, to buy or be bought?

I see that TFII has been active, as well as SIS raised the dividend by 4.3% yesterday.

Thanks for taking the time to provide the insight.

Q: Hello 5i Team
A new IPO was announced on September 04 for Flagship Communities Real Estate Investment Trust, a Canadian REIT for US Manufactured Home Communities (proposed TSX symbol MHC.U).
Other than a press release, a marketing presentation, the preliminary prospectus and an appraisal report (all available on SEDAR), I could not find any other information.
The estimated price range will be US$15 - US$17 as per my broker's IPO center.
What are 5i's thoughts on this issue?
Given the scarcity of information, would it be better to wait for the issue to start trading, before initiating a position?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team,
Following PBH recent buy of ALLSEAS FISHERIES, do you think it increases or decreases the probability of PBH buying CLR? CLR could now be a good fit to increase vertical integration of their increasing seafood business. CLR maximisation of shareholder’s value process seems to be stretching over a long period. Do you see it as a bad sign, or simply a sign of a complicated process due to rules on Canadian ownership of quotas? What is your guess probability that CLR is ending up being bought? Is a combination with High Liner a good/natural fit? Which Canadian companies do you perceive as potential buyers?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Honda has been a bit under the radar in my perception with all the recent news going to the developments in the electric car or battery segments for GM, TSLA, et al. One financial site, Yahoo Finance, has their highest "buy" rating on Honda despite their relatively quietude. What are your thoughts on Honda's current value?
