Q: Hi 5i team,

I have a 2% position in ATZ and 1.5% in BYD. Both did well, but I'm thinking of more concentrated names in my portfolio. Considering that they are both in the same sector, would it be a good move to have all allocation in ATZ?

Happy holidays!

Matt

Q: Hi Peter and team, The entire renewable sector was down substantially in 2021. What is your current view of the sector? In this sector, you seem to favor BEP.un. Interest rate is expected to rise. What is your view on the stock against such an economic backdrop? Is this a good entry point? Appreciate your insight!

Q: Good morning. I have had RBF7280 for decades. It yields 3.43% and has an MER of 1.43. Would it be comparable to XHY which has a higher yield and a lower MER? Is there another alternative that you can suggest?
I don't trade or worry very much since I started with 5i a few years ago. Thank. John

Q: dont really get why tax loss sellers wait until last day to sell acuity.
assuming analyst is right and it is too cheap too ignore along with 5i, by the time the sellers can buy it back 30 days later the january bounce will be long over, does not make sense.

Q: Yesterday eit.un announced the following special distribution of 44¢/share

"The estimated special distribution will be paid by issuance of the same class of units of the fund, and immediately thereafter, issued and outstanding units of the fund will be consolidated such that the number of issued and outstanding units of the fund will not change."

Why do they not just pay the unit holder the cash? Do I end up with more units/fewer units? Why do they do it this way?
Many Thanks

Q: I am tired of having to figure out which companies will do well. You, yourselves produce 3 different lists (i.e. grown, balanced...) of about 20 stocks each. You must be tired yourselves.

I/we don't need to have many stocks. I/we only need one. Please provide us a stock that will go up forever. Only one.

Happy holidays!! :)

Q: Good day and best of the season to you. I am trying to get my ducks in order for tax time. I understand that initial TOI shares are a dividend from CSU. Do you know the value of this dividend? Also, do you know the cost base of these shares for calculating capital gains from TOI? Thanks.
