Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

We need to raise some cash in our non-registered account. Please rank in order of which stock/ETF to sell a partial position first: BYD, CNR, IHI, and TRI . All four of these holdings have done very well, thanks to the continued good recommendations from 5i.

Q: I don’t have any REIT exposure at the moment and am looking at DIR.UN. Although the yield is good and revenue is growing fast, it doesn’t appear to have a great track record on growing either earnings or the distribution. Forecast EPS is expected to rise significantly from current levels, however the ’24 and ’25 forecasts are still only about 1/3 of what was earned in 2021/22. The payout appears to have not increased since 2013(!) What needs to change for this REIT to restore earnings to past levels and to grow the distribution? Recent high rates I expect were/are part of the problem but likely are not the entire story.

Q: My grandson's TFSA has done very well, in large part due to excellent advice/info from 5i Research. He now needs to raise some cash to make a down-payment. Of the following stocks (ordered by size, i.e. NVDA is his biggest holding and LMN is smallest), which would you be most inclined to sell, given he is in his mid-20s and has a growth focus? Top 5-7 sell candidates would be sufficient.
Thanks again for the excellent service!

Q: Hi, Oil is steadily trading above $80 and NG is up 75%, from its bottom recently. Summer driving season seems to have already started strong. Both CNQ and SU are still trading, close to their recent lows. Why have Oil/Gas equities failed to respond ?
Any thoughts or concerns ?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i, been watching TMO for a bit, any news as to why it's off 2.5% today? Does it have to do with markets view on Olink purchase? What are the next few years forecast for growth and what would be a good entry point? Thx

Q: Payfare is currently under a CTO as (quoted from their press release):

"The delay in the Annual Filings is due solely to the delay in receiving the System and Organization Controls (" SOC 1") auditor's report from its material vendor (the " Vendor ") which is required in order for the Company's independent auditors to complete their required audit procedures to issue their opinion"

How much of a concern or potential red flag do you view this to be?

Thanks

Q: Hello. I used to rely on a Canadian stock total return calculator available on the Canadian stock channel. It allowed me to calculate the returns for Canadian stocks from the 1990s up to the present day. This tool was incredibly useful and helpful. However, recently, the site has become completely blank, and the calculator is no longer accessible. Do you know the reason behind this sudden change? Additionally, if you’re aware of any other platforms where I can find a similar stock return calculator, I’d greatly appreciate your insights! Thanks
