Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Voluntary lock-ups - Why would early stage investors or VCs, voluntarily extend lock-ups periods in pre-ipo or early ipo-ed companies?

Would they typically receive warrants in exchange for this restriction in liquidity?

Is the motivation by the company to prevent sales of large blocks since they are anticipating a rapid rise or fall in share price?

I know this is hypothetical, but trying to understand the concept/reasoning.

Thanks!

Q: I have be holding Carebook stock for over six months. The stock dipped over the past week and bit from 79 cents to 60 cents, but I cannot seem to find a driver for the news. Am I missing something? Is it a good time to buy more? iA Capital Markets just put a 'Buy' recommendation on it with a $1.60 target due to some new acquisition and other moves, but the stock has been tanking. Again, what am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Q: What are your thoughts on the recent Canadian Depositary Receipts that are now being made available through CIBC. Seems like an excellent means of gaining exposure to the large u.s. caps for the average diy investor. Any thoughts as to when other sources than CIBC will come into play.

Thanks

David

Q: As retirees with moderate risk tolerance, Telus is a 4% core holding in a mainly conservative dividend portfolio. We realize (and like) that Telus Health is a small part of the company. We are considering a 1% position in Well for diversification in Health sector, and would appreciate your thoughts on it. Is this an opportune time to buy, or does 5i expect tax loss selling to put more downward pressure as year-end approaches? Thank you. Edward

Q: Hello team,

Which one would you add to at this point, and why? They are both very tiny positions but equally down from the time of purchase a year ago. I appreciate it if you can reflect on their financial situation right now, and say which one you expect to grow better. I am a moderate-to-high-risk-buy-and-hold investor. So, I love growthy stocks.

Thank you for your impeccable support.

Q: Hello Peter,
You are positive on AbCellera Biologics Inc.but the stock continues to tumble.. Other than Merck's announcement, i dont see any other news to create the decline.. .I am thinking of averaging down. Also, Greenlane is taking hits as well .. Do you think it is worth averaging down on this one as well?

Q: I received a message from my broker stating that I have three options regarding Redemption of these units, basically redeem or don't (and take part in the transition to Algoma, I guess).

1. Why would you need/use the redemption offer rather than sell on the exchange (at least while trading above the redemption price as it is at the moment)?

2. The message included this: WARNING: RESTRICTED, PRIVATE OR NON-QUALIFIED SHARES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN YOUR RBC DIRECT INVESTING INC. ACCOUNTS AND FOR REGISTERED ACCOUNTS MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO PENALTY TAX.

Does this actually apply to these units, or is it boilerplate?

Q: Hello 5i,

What do you think about the companies above? Is the risk worth the reward? How long do you think these stocks get hot? You think the uranium, cobalt and gold markets are cooling down and getting ready for another long hibernation?
