Q: Hi 5i
I was going to ask a specific question but this one pretty much was it "What general question has not been asked ..." so I'll alter mine a bit.

What questions are you asking internally between yourselves or put another way, generally, what questions would you ask 5i Research if you were one of the members ?

Thanks
Mike

Q: Hi 5i team,

From this evenings news:

"CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Highlights (all dollar amounts US dollars, unless otherwise noted):

Parex Resources Inc. (“Parex” or the “Company”) (TSX:PXT) announces today that its strategic repositioning review process has been completed and did not result in an acceptable proposal;"

The article goes on to discuss 2018 results (good) and 2019 guidance (good) and plans for massive share buybacks at what mgmt appears to believe is a hugely discounted stock price.

Considering the beating this stock has taken lately and the above news, how do you feel about a new position in this company?

Q: It appears more and more likely that there will be a 2nd referendum on Brexit. I predict the Brits will cancel their exit. I also think a deal with China will be had. Finally the Fed may signal no more rate hikes until stronger signs of inflation etc. This week may prove to be a great time to deploy cash to buy the bargains.

Further to my earlier question on this company, if this security is held in an registered account, is the dividend still taxed differently?

Q: Hi guys,

I look to hold companies that are able to maintain a reasonable ROE despite being debt-free. Some of the companies that I currently hold that meet this criteria are ENGH, TOY, CSU (pretty close), RCH, VCI (very small cap).

Can you suggest 5-10 more debt-free companies that screen well to you guys?

Thanks!

Q: I own shares in BMO in a DRIP account held by Computershare. If the shares are redeemed, how is the ACB determined. Does Computershare track this or is it the shareholders responsibility?

Q: Recently, I asked about adding to ECN.PR.C at $21 and you replied it was fine to hold but not to add (thanks). Now it's $17 and paying 9%. It is a rate reset preferred and I thought the guaranteed floor was 6.25% upon reset but you recently said otherwise in another reply.
Should I buy it now and what is the reset minimum?
Thanks.
