Q: What 5i's opinion on Avante's Q3 results. It appears revenues was way above expectations, the majority of which recurring according to the Company and now at a $100M run rate. Should this stock be trading at 45% of revenues at this internal growth rate while other stocks trade at 10x revenues with negative EBTITDA? Seems mispriced notwithstanding debt levels are also reducing.

Q: Preferred shares fit into the income part of a portfolio and also can be a fixed income substitute if one can tolerate the extra volatility (especially now given bond yields and potential for rising interest rates). In the past 5i has suggested CPD over DIVS for etf exposure citing the fee differential. Two questions (1) what is your medium term outlook for Canadian preferred shares and (2) given complexity of different preferred share issues and an inefficient market, is there an advantage to the active approach? (Please explain why or why not - thanks).

Q: I have a small holding in Veolia and am wondering about adding more. Its environmental business is broad in scope and covers a lot of the planet. While this may be good, it could also mean that they are stretched. It looks like they have held pretty steady through the pandemic.

Any thoughts about this company? Any alternatives to suggest?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Here is a link to an article from a US based RV newsletter, which points to a severe shortage of propane:

https://www.rvtravel.com/rvers-propane-shortage-affect-you/

My question is this: Does the propane shortage provide a buying opportunity for stocks like SPB? We owned it in the past, but sold it (at a profit) when it started languishing. Are the any other propane stocks (I guess in the US) that could benefit from this thesis?

Thanks as always for your insight.
