Investment Q&A

Q: Good Morning 5i Do you have any idea as to why Tilray is rising so fast? I'm holding long on Canopy for this sector and not intending to sell this year. And not intending to buy Tilray. Is Tilray's rise likely to pull upward sp of WEED up faster? Also talk of large short positions in the sector. Any background thoughts on what is happening as we approach Oct. 17th. ?

Q: I have set 8% sector target and have invested 50% - GUD 15% of total target, TD Health Sciences 11%, and 9% each to ISRG, ILMN, and COV.
If I drop TD Fund, then 60% available to reinvest - what names and allocations do you advise?
Thx for your excellent advice,
Sam

Q: Hi, I'm a new subscriber and am really benefitting from the Qs and As you post.

I was wondering if you have any insight on Optiva (previously Redknee). I bought it in 2015 and am wondering if I should bite the bullet and sell.

Also, any thoughts on starting a small position in Blackberry as a growth stock in my TFSA?

Q: You have mentioned that you dislike companies that tend to put out too many press releases. I own Reliq Health Technologies and am often surprised at what they consider worth communicating. The other day the press release headline was "Reliq Health Technologies receives second hardware shipment". Today they put out " Reliq Health Technologies Kick Off Patient Onboarding at Rio Grande Valley Health Alliance in Texas". I'm not sure that these qualify as huge milestones that the public and shareholders really need to know and they seem to be self-promotional. Would you consider RHT as a company that does too much self-promoting and does it cause you any concern?

Q: I have never liked the "bought deal" type financings that seem to be the way things are done in Canada, but I have to admit that as a holder of DOO watching the steep sell-off after the recent secondary offering priced in US$ was no fun. TD was offering the shares to clients with the price "TBD within the context of the market". The shares dropped about 15% in the days following the announcement when the issue was priced. Can you briefly explain how the pricing is determined for offerings such as this one. Do they simply wait for the market reaction and then set the price where the shares end up on the pricing date? What are the sellers and buyers obligations? Can the sellers just change their mind if the market reacts too harshly and say "thanks but no thanks, we will keep our holdings rather than sell at a 15% discount?

Q: Been getting hammered any thoughts?

Q: I was going to sell my position (loss) in TSGI for the tax benefit but with the drop in Dollarama I now am considering selling that instead (also loss). Intention is to buy back the position after 30 days (or more).

Am leaning more to selling DOL but which would you let go?

Thanks

Q: I believe Gluskin is reporting this week. What are the anticipation results (earnings, revenus, aum, cash on hand)?
Thank you

Q: I have a question about 1255
We know a little more with today’s press release, but not enough, my take is that it does not bold well for shareholders, they are making it difficult for me not to sell. Am down over 60%, what would you do.
Thanks.

Q: What is the breakdown of insider ownership? In particular, I’m wondering how much stock company execs own

Q: Hi Team,

Can you please comment if this is a good entry point for this new IPO? I keep hearing people saying Chinese Tesla so wondering if this is a buy opportunities. What's growth outlook for this stock for next 3-5 years? Is this one very risky?

Thanks!
