Q: Hi Team,
I am holding TWLO, and down 12% on it as of today. It has been showing some strength lately with the other tech names, but perhaps not as much as some others. What do you think of this companies growth potential? I am wondering if I should hold it, or if you would recommend switching the holding into a different US tech growth stock that you are much more convinced of (was noticing ROKU or DOCU)? I currently already hold NOW, AYX, CRM, SQ,TTD,FB. Thanks for your advice.

Shane.

Q: Good day, 5i. I was given a small # of shares of BIPC by their spinoff; also have shares of BIP.UN. If I consolidate these shares in a Canadian RIF, which way should I go - all BIPC or all BIP.UN? Are their any advantages either way?

Q: Good day,
Torstar has about 75 million in cash and no debt after a recent sale of a building in Hamilton. It has huge losses to carry forward, it owns 50% of Vertical scope which it paid about 200 million a few years and other small assets. I believe it is also getting some help from the government and the family trust must not be happy with no monthly dividends. At 26 million market cap it appears like its grossly undervalued and a possible takeover target by Fairfax Financial which owns about 40 % of the Class B be shares. What is your view of this scenario and the stock today?
Thanks,
George

Q: Hello 5i Team

My wife and I are looking at our investments, and although we rode the market right down with the majority of people, we are not looking to spend anything/withdraw any time soon. We are young professionals in our mid thirties with two young kids, so lots of time for our RRSPs/TFSAs to bounce back.

Do you think this is a good time to leverage to get further into the market? I'm thinking that we can borrow $50k on a HELOC and get some solid stocks at a steal. Earn some dividends and get some quick capital appreciation, with the expectation of selling off and recovering the cash by the end of the year.

Looking at perhaps going 1/3 each to things like CAE, RUS, and RBC. I'm new to making my own decisions on investments. Is this an absurd idea? Let me know if I'm crazy. I see all my friends jumping in at the moment and the temptation is high.

Q: With oil Storage at a premium , and contango in the futures market
is relatively strong. the value of these oil tanker companies is fairly cheap and they have been able to increase their oil storage price.
This seems to me setting up for some very profitable earnings .
If you agree which companies would you prefer in this situation ?
Thanks

Q: Hi there,

There are some high quality names that have not been beat down in the downturn (ie: KXS, DSG, CSU etc) which have not participated as much in the rebound, which makes sense - but if someone was looking for high quality names that have been beat down that would present a good entry point and a great opportunity at recovering and outperforming in a rebound, what would you recommend looking at?

Thanks!

Q: To Peter's question regarding exchanging Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Exchange LP units to BIP.UN:

I got info from BIP investors relations late last year:

1. LP units are exchangeable to BIP.UN 1:1 for 7 years,
2. The exchange is deemed disposition, i.e. taxable on gain
3. The exchange is no fee, can be done by brokerages

I emailed BIP investor's relations couple of times in the past, they are quite responsive and detail in their replies.

Hope this helps.
