Q: Let’s talk index growth potential, generally.

We see the S&P500 has a 7+% weighting of Apple and a 22% concentration in the top 5 stocks. Reports are that tech drives the index growth much more than the remaining companies. Other indices around the world do not have this anomaly. e.g. TSXComp, MSCI World, MSCI EAFE (all typical of locked pension funds)

As we eventually move past this period where a recession may or may not happen, and market downturns may or may not happen, which areas (and these indices) may enjoy a healthy, lower-risk yet most favourable delta over the next 3-6-9 years? Is Warren Buffet on the right track when he recommends that his wife stay with just the S&P500 when he’s gone?

Q: Hi, ATS Corp has launched a public offering of 6,000.000 ( 6.9 mln with overallotment option) new common shares in US and Canada. Pricing will be determined in market context, once underwriting agreements are complete with Goldman, JPM and TD.

Could you please help us understand the implications of this news /transaction as a current shareholder.

What is the % of the secondary to present o/s shares ?

In your view, could it result in a stock weakness - at least a temporary overhang and offer an opportunity to add to our position and if so, what would be the price range ?

Thank You

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Regarding Nutrien, I read your answer to 5i member Maureen, and also just finished today's article in the Globe and Mail:"Nutrien shares fade on disappointing first-quarter earnings" by Ian McGugan. In your view, is Ian's thesis valid, and would now be a good time to sell NTR if one has already made some money on it? What would be some better (?) and less volatile options in the Materials sector?

Thanks as always for your insight.
