Q: Can you please provide your latest thoughts on this company. The stock has been performing very well.
I am thinking of making an initial investment in a TFSA. Looking for some growth in both stock price and dividend. It appears that the stars may be aligning for this company with capacity increasing and sadly the loss of many smaller restaurants.
Thanks for all your insights and ideas over the years!!!

Q: My 28 yo son has $6k USD to invest in his RSP. I have considered many good companies, and whittled it down to 4 choices. I could not find a site to learn the ROIC on these companies. Could 5i provide please? Could 5i rank these 4 based on their growth potential? No requirement to comment on sector allocation within portfolio as that is in hand. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi team,

What are your thoughts on these Canadian beat up tech cos (AT, WELL, WE, STC, CTS, SFTC)? How would you rank them in terms of quality and your favorites at current price?

I look at AT and 12x F22 ev to ebitda. That is 5x less than TTD!!! Seems insanely cheap.

CTS also seems to be out growing their peers and have an attractive 10.6x F22 ev to ebitda.

And WE has Bill Ackmans backing!

Q: Brookfield Companies.

They are a comfortable base holding for me.

If the intent of your (5i) investment strategy is to “beat the market,” is it time to sell these holdings and look for better growth and/or income?

Q: I am a Canadian citizen who resides full-time in the U.S.
Just recently, my Canadian bank (CIBC) restricted my Canadian-domiciled RRSP to only sells, rendering it virtually useless.
I am under the impression trading a non-registered account is not illegal.
I understand this is not in your wheelhouse, but do you know of any financial institutions which allow foreign residents to trade their RRSPs?
You can post this on the public portion of the Q&A in the hopes it helps others in my situation.
Thanks, I really hope you can offer some assistance.

Q: Wondering how to lessen tax on dividend income in a cash account. I gather using a DRIP doesn't do anything in that regard?? If not then is there any holding, individual equity or ETF, that provides a utility, telecom or reit type of relative safety with dividend that somehow lessens the tax one would normally pay on dividend income. Thank you for your help. Ken

Q: I am a 74-year-old, retired, conservative investor. Please advise if investing new money into REITS and Preferreds would be advisable at this time when it is likely that interest rates will be rising in the near term.
