Q: Could you comment on the latest contract signed by VHI which equates to about 7% of their market cap? Thanks as always.

TORONTO, June 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX: VHI) is pleased to announce that TREAT has been licensed for an initial six-year contract term and an option to extend for four additional years, to better track the essential medical information needed to effectively treat inmates in provincially-run adult correctional institutions across Ontario.

For VitalHub, this agreement is an important and meaningful event. The six-year contract value is comprised of recurring license revenue and professional services delivered over a six-year period, totaling approximately $9 million (CAD) in the initial term.

Q: Hi 5i,
Do you put any weight at all on takeover rumours? This morning a Seeking Alpha article said that ROKU employees had a cease trading order put on them internally in the past couple of days. NFLX is rumoured to be circling. What do you think is the likelihood here?

Q: How do you feel about NXRT? If you remember the Big Short this was a favourite of one of the principal investors in that movie - and paid off for him in spades.

Thanks, as always, David

Q: Can you list some CAD companies that are down big right now and would be good long term positions?

Q: Question on Norbert’s gambit that I’m hoping you know or the community might.

I have a TD RRSP where I accidentally bought Roku in my CAD section of my RRSP. I have a USD portion of the same RRSP, can I have this moved in kind to the USD section?

Thanks!

Q: There are several opinions and blurbs in the media (Barrons, WSJ, CNBC, Bloomberg, and the London Financial Times) that opine on, or point to the probability of, semis having been over-ordered by OEMs in the last couple of quarters. The thinking, if I have understood correctly, is that the revenues of semi conductor companies (designers and foundries alike) will rapidly slide down for the next 9 to 12 months.

What is your own view on this? Would the above— if true— not be priced into stock values already? I am overweight in semis but am reluctant to trim in down markets. Nevertheless I would definitely do so right away if you believe it more prudent to trim (even in taxable accounts).

Q: Would you have a proxy for ILMN and UPST for tax loss selling? Would you buy them back after 30 days or keep the proxies. All within the same risk/upside potential.
Thanks for your service!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Lundin Gold, its fundamentals, insider holdings and trading, as well as potential. It is free cash flow positive but doesn't seem to be moving beyond a fairly narrow trading range. Thanks.

Q: Hi I’m a long term investor, and currently very heavy on Tech. I’m currently searching for a non tech name for an RRSP for a long term hold. I’m more focused on growth as I have time on my hands. Outside of tech, I hold ATZ, HON, BAM, GSY, SQ, COST. Can you please list your top 10 favourite US companies?

Thanks for everything

Q: Pennymac would, at first glance, appear to be on the "road to nowhere" in terms of stock price and prospects. However, in Point & Figure terms it is currently in "Triple Top Breakout" mode since May 24 and its cash flow seems more than adequate to meet dividend payout requirements. Is this a decent income stock?

Q: I heard a rumour about the Federal government's threat to REIT flow-through taxation status. Is this something that is actively under consideration? Remnants of the Halloween Income Trust debacle come to mind
