Q: Hello 5i
I stumbled across a recent article by Ryan in the Globe and a member made reference to another article by Peter in either the Globe or Fin. Post. My question is: Is there a link or can you provide a link to all articles written for non 5i publications? I feel this would be a benefit to all 5i members.
Thank you
Dave

Q: Without knowing details of my portfolio, would you recommend selling some SQ at a profit and buying some BOX today?

Thanks, cathy

Q: I have some extra cash to invest and am interested in adding either TEAM, SQUARE or BOX to a well rounded portfolio. With a relatively high risk tolerance, which of these do you see as having a greater upside over a short and long time frame?

Q: Further comment about press releases sent directly to investors from Covalon CEO Jeffrey Mandel: I own that stock. If memory serves, the stock hit a high of 9.15 on August 6 and then appears (in my naive understanding) to have become the victim of a short attack. Trading was halted and IIROC then asked the CEO what material change(s) -- if any -- might account for the abrupt drop -- which hit a low of 6.26 (nearly 40%). As an investor, I took Mandel's first direct emails (which began at that time) as reassurance to investors not to panic and dump the stock. COV has recovered somewhat since then, but I'm assuming that Mandel might be sensitive to the potential of another assault against his company (e.g., SHOP) and may want to inform investors directly of positive progress being made -- which include the last couple of messages that just arrived in my inbox.

Q: Hello
You consistently say Pizza Pizza is good for income but little growth expected. But I see John Heinzl is selling it out of his model portfolio in the Globe and Mail. It is now down 30% in my income portfolio and I now wonder at the advisability of just continuing to hold. Just how sustainable do you think the dividend is over time? Would you expect the company to react positively to restore growth? If sold what "safe" dividend stock would you buy with a comparable dividend?
Thank you .... Paul K

Q: I am looking for a bond fund in the US and just trying to sort out all the options. I have been looking at this one for awhile and seems like a good option. Any comments. This is for the fixed income portion of my portfolio looking for US retirement income.

Cheers

Q: Greetings 5i

In my TFSA I have enjoyed a nice run with PHO. I am thinking of selling my position and using the funds to buy TOY. My reasoning is that TOY is larger and thus more stable.

I am interested in taking less risk in my TFSA. I am not concerned with the balance allocation of the portfolio as my PHO is not a high weighting.

Your insights are always valuable

Thanks

Peter

Q: Hi team, Given the latest results, would you recommend averaging down today or wait? What would be a good entry point?
Thanks!

Q: Dear 5i,
If I were interested in starting a position in Alphabet (assuming it fit with my sector allocation) would it make sense that I should go for the C class rather than the A class of shares? I would get a moderate discount and still share in the (potential) company's fortunes. The only draw back is that I would have no voting power.
Is my thinking correct? May I have your thoughts?
Thank you for your time.
