Q: What’s with the wild drops on GCM with no bad news and gold effectively flat? Record q1 gold production and trading at 3-4x forward p/e with quarterly debt reduction and lots of cash generation I figured this is a good bet. I guess that’s just the market ... Thought on GCM please. Thanks

Q: Could you comment on vet dividend. In this environmental world were in, the sector is not the best. I find when the dividend is 6%+ it usually results in lower stock prices eventually.
I ‘am fine with 4-5% dividend and a well run company with a increasing share price ( hopefully). Is vet not sacrificing a more stable share price for a high dividend? I have always felt that too high a dividend 6-7%+ was always a problem in the long run.
Having said that would you consider vet a long term hold?

Q: I am wondering what you think of the recent results for Alta Gas and whether you would consider it worth an investment. Considering it relative to ENB would you still prefer the later for better investment performance?
Many thanks.

Q: I am a long time holder of this stock and have enjoyed the juicy dividend although I am down slightly on the stock price. What do you see for the future of this company in regards to the dividend and growth prospects.
They report this week and what are the expectations and do you see a meet or beat? In your opinion what do you see as potential head and Tailwinds? Would you buy, sell or hold?
Thanks as always

Q: For my small cap portion of my portfolio I was thinking of adding one. Both have run hard and have good growth. For a long term hold what company would you invest in. I consider management and debt management a priority.
Or should I buy a little of both? Would you have a better alternative? Thanks

Q: Would you kindly provide your ranking for these 3 companies for a 1 to 2 year hold from 2 perspectives, first with regard to growth with the "growthiest" first and second with regard to safety with the safest of the three listed first. Your view specifically on the Intel miss and whether you think it impairs the stock longer term or whether the miss is more of a shorter term impediment to the equity price. Thank you for your help.

Q: Morning 5i,
I'm wondering what to do with my shares of BUS that are putting a lot of red on my statement, and so I also wonder if that company might be an attractive acquisition for NFI or any other acquirer out there? Seems like BUS could be gotten pretty cheap.
I look forward to hearing what you think. Thanks!

Q: It was noted in the recent quarterly release that Constellation has "lowered the hurdle rate for deals of $100m or more". Does this mean that the company will accept/expect lower rates of return on these larger deals? If so, will this not reduce the profitability of those deals and finally, does this imply that CSU has indeed started to "hit the wall" in terms of growth? I hope I am wrong as this has been (thanks to 5i) one of my best investments!

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i team, Regarding my question on Apr 26 on foreign properties to be reported on T1135 to CRA, your answer was “If you are buying Canadian-based ETFs that hold foreign securities, then no. If the ETFs are US-based (US domiciled, US management companies) then yes.” Please expand and clarify your previous answer so I am not making assumptions. Are you saying if I buy ETFs from Vanguard or Blackrock then they are considered ‘foreign’? How about if I buy ETFs from Canadian subsidiaries of Vanguard, Blackrock, iShares? Or are you saying all ETFs listed on the Canadian exchanges are Not considered as ‘foreign’? Examples would be useful. Thanks for the clarification.
