Q: 5iteam: Currently down about 9.5% . Would you consider GSY a decent replacement .If considering I do not currently need the better dividend and .it is looking like a tax loss would help this year , do you feel GSY at today 's price would give me more upside potential or would you suggest a better name to add to portfolio rather than add to GSY to lower my book value?Tks Larry

Q: Ever since I started investing roughly ten years ago, I've always enjoyed trying to identify companies that could become acquisition targets. Could you please name five companies (TSX only) that you believe have a high likelihood of being acquired or taken private in this current environment? Thank You

Q: Related to Kevin's question... I own U, CRWD and NVDA in a TFSA and can't capture a tax loss if I were to sell U (I'm down significantly on the position). Would you suggest continuing to hold U in a registered account or selling and moving on to something else (likely increase NVDA holdings)?

Q: Greetings 5i team and thank you for answering the phone during these rocky times.
The 30 Apr 22 Model Inc Portfolio has LNF at a 'B' whereas the 3 Sep 21 Report on LNF is 'B+'. Plse confirm LNF is a 'B+'. Also, if you were to write a report on LNF today would you be likely to maintain the 'B+'?

Q: Hello Peter,

For a mid-risk investor who just retired and has a little cash to work with in a registered account what is your perspective on:

Opening a 1/2 position of VGT or just add 1/4 position to MFST or Appl to a full position.?

Which stock(s) would you be ok with today to be 6%-8% of a portfolio for a 5-10 year hold? Please rank the stocks if there is more than one possible choice.

Thank you
Debbie and Jerry

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In reading answers to questions posed by others, I get the impression that 5i isn't in favour of averaging down as an investment strategy, due to the potential for further losses. These possible losses are of course greater for individual stocks and less so for ETFs, according to what I've read.

However, if a non-registered account contains some cash, and the holdings are ones that 5i has made positive comments in the past, in what order might you consider adding to the following?
HXS (down 8.86%)
SJ (down 18.7%)
TCN (down 12.62%)

Thanks for your guidance and respected advice.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
What do you think of Cohen and Steers and Icahn Enterprises. i am just concerned of the high yield . Is this sustainable? I am looking at these for my RRSP where the dividends don't have tax implications until i withdraw funds.

Q: DND seems to be getting hit hard again. Do you think this is people selling before the earnings later this month in combination with market backdrop? I think this company has been overly beat up. Even if their purchase in Australia is not allowed they are still growing at a good pace are they not?. Would you add to a position today to lower cost? I am down about 25% money not needed for 10+ years. Thanks
