Q: Any rationale why these solid dividend growers are unloved right now? They are all well off their highs and 3 of the 4 pay very good divs. Is it 'risk on' causing these to be ignored? I am tempted to add to all of them with the expectation that at some point in the next 2-3 years we will hit a 'risk off' market and these will recovery nicely

Q: Hi 5i - I was very interested to read about Lightspeed's new partnership with Latin American fintech dLocal. It appears that this new partnership, will enable LSPD merchants to accept local payment options. It appears it's live in Mexico now, but given the breadth of dLocal's operations throughout Latin America and other emerging markets, do you not think this may be a major accelerator to scaling and growth for the company outside Canada & US?

Q: Now that there has been shareholder and court approval of the "strategic combination" of these two companies when will I see my TOG shares become WCP shares? I can't find an actual date for this to take place. It was finalized yesterday so I thought perhaps it would have happened today. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Q: Apartment based REITS seem like good value yet their stock price is declining. Can this be explained by the fact that their future performance will be impacted negatively by expectant higher interest rates?

Q: With lots of chatter in the business press about reflation, how likely are we to see a rise in interest rates? Governments worldwide are cranking up their spending and this is adding to their debt burdens. If the central banks are the ones who set interest rates, why would they willingly increase the interest rates since this would have a perhaps catastrophic effect on the ability of governments to repay their debt? Or can interest rates jump simply because lenders demand higher rates because of the risks of default. I can certainly see that in the municipal and provincial /state borrowing. I suppose the answer to my question may require an article rather than just a reply reply, (hint, hint).

Q: The question is what ETF is the best match for me based on

1. my normal stock selection is large blue chip dividend paying companies
2. this ETF is in my RRSP, I am assuming it should be purchased in American funds. (unless you say otherwise.) US or Canadian ?
3. I am thinking a broad based ETF, possibly a "dividend aristocrat" or just whole market but not sure of what the difference would be.

thanks

Q: LSPD has 115,000 locations (74,000 in third quarter report on February 2020 and 47,000 in third quarter report on February 2019) serviced by their SaaS. Dax has indicated that there are 49 million SMB and there are targeting 7 million of those. My question is what is the projected number of locations in five years? If they are targeting 7 million SMB then those businesses have 1.5 locations per business (my estimate) gives 10.5 million locations. What is the probability they can get 10.5 million locations - zero chance. What is the probability of getting 5 million locations - zero. What is the probability of getting 1 million locations - 100 %. If they have 115,000 locations today and they will get to 1,115,000 locations in let’s say five years that is a 10x increase. I understand the metric will change from price per sales to price per equity because they will be profitable. Is it possible to say that the share price increases by a factor of 10?
