Q: Hello 5i
In March of this year you thought HRI looked pretty good. It has risen 40+% since then. Do you still like it or has it become too expensive? Any other name in the same space that you like more?
Thank you so much!

Q: hello
regarding preferred ENB.pr.U
I see it matures June 2022 and if renewed, will pay 3.05% + the yield of the 5-year BOC bond. Where can I find the current real time yield of the 5-year BOC bond?
Knowing where rates are today, and what they will likely be in June 2022, is this a good time to buy or is it safer to wait? What's your PRO vs CON on it?
Thanks

Q: Hi,

I have a general question of small cap vs large cap. Since the start of the year, there seems to have been a move out of small caps into large cap. Given that large cap (using LSPD, SHOP, CSU, TOI, NVEI etc as proxy) have moved so significantly in the past few months - what do think the odds are there will be a move back into small cap?

thank you

Q: When considering an content of fixed income portfolio would you favor splitting it into bonds and money market funds OR putting it entirely into bonds fund or entirely into money market fund? Both funds are managed by Public Employee Pension Plan with good records as to the benchmarks and low fees. The question is asked considering current market conditions and likely a correction in the near future anticipated by investors and money managers. Is such adjustment a reasonable approach? Timing the market with certain adjustments in one’s fixed income portion of portfolio?
Thanks for insight and advice as always.

Q: The following is from a CNBC article on Monday September 13th,

“ Now, Toast says it was serving more than 48,000 restaurant locations as of the end of June, up from 27,000 in 2019. Annual recurring revenue surged 118% in the second quarter from a year earlier to $494 million. The bulk of Toast’s revenue comes from what the company calls financial technology solutions, consisting primarily of fees paid by customers for payment transactions. Less than 10% comes from subscriptions.

In its updated IPO prospectus on Monday, Toast said it plans to sell shares at $30 to $33, raising over $700 million at the top end of the range. That would value the company at $16.5 billion, based on its outstanding share count.”

How does that compare with LSPD and it’s 150,000 client locations.

Q: Hi 5i, this is in response to Paul's question on getting historical dividend information.

I've been using this link: https://dividendgrowthinvestingandretirement.com/canadian-dividend-all-star-list/, I find very informative especially if you are looking for dividend companies that have survived the last two recessions with increasing dividends.

Enjoy!

Q: Good morning
VRAR started trading this week as a spin off Victory Square. Before this company started trading, I noticed when I googled a name there was another company in a similar space with a similar name that had been trading. The stock symbols were not active, so I assume it must have stopped at some point. When I googled the name to-day the other company could not be found.
My question is this company a resurrection of a former company that for some reason stopped trading? If So, will the resurrected company fair better than it predecessor?

Thank you

Steve
