Q: What are 5i’s thoughts and analysis on $CAD vs $USD?

The Financial Post article below highlights forecasts of 5% upside (loonie towards .80c usd). What do you expect? Time-frame, certainty in closing the gap, etc.

Would now/months from now be a good time to convert some $USD to $CAD (i.e. moving over US equity index/stocks in USD to the same holdings in $CAD).

Q: BNN's Lightspeed earnings headline featured the $100M loss without mentioning the adjusted loss is $15.6M and better than expected.. Not impressed with their negative recap.
The stock is down 13% at one pm - is this short selling or anxiety about the headlines? They doubled their sales and have a billion in the bank! I'm a buyer!

Q: I'm liking Information Services Corp. dividend and it seems their earnings look pretty good as well. I'm guessing not a huge growth potential, but wondering about thoughts of company in possible recession and dividend security.
VCM seems to be on a positive trend, thoughts on this company as a potential addition at this time.
Thanks

Q: I have held S&P Global for about a year and of course like the recent market this stock is lagging. I would like to hold on but I understand the recent earnings were not stellar. Your comments on the recent quarter as well as your overall thoughts on this holding would be much appreciated. I would like to hold for the long term. Thank You.

Q: Would you endorse a switch from PEY to BIR at this time? Which has greater share price appreciation potential assuming gas prices remain stable to increasing? Would it be worth foregoing PEY's dividend for better outlook with BIR. Thx

Q: Hi team,
I own Fortis and Emera for dividends and safety. Given the higher dividend and recent better performance of Capital Power, would it be reasonable to replace either FTS or EMA with CPX?

Q: Dear 5i crystal ball.
Re recent comments on a market rallying just before and/or after announcement of a recession. The merits of which said recession seem to be debatable, but the market rally is in plain sight. Much of what I'm reading suggests that with increasing rates, the economy will slow, as intended, inflation will succumb, and a real recession will occur sometime in the next 12 months, accompanied by a market downturn. Accepting that the market is forward looking is the market currently looking beyond the real recession yet to occur, and therefore the current rally is sustainable, or are we to expect another market dowturn in the near future?
Thanks.
Peter.
