Q: Good day, 5i. I just read your note about Madison Investments and I'm not sure what to take away from it. The funds appear to be highly diversified (30 top holdings only make up 40% of Public Investments), far more so than the level typically recommended by 5i (roughly 30 total). Is that the point?

Q: I currently have Manulife in my RRSP account, I am thinking of replacing it with Sylogist for a little more growth. I have no Tech stocks in my account but do have TD and BNS. Can I have your opinion on whether the switch makes sense. I appreciate your advice.
Thanks

Q: I still have $60,000 in a mutual fund with Canada Life with an MER of 3% ($1800) that i want to transfer out to my group pension that has much lower fees. The mutual fund still has a DSC of $1200 until the Maturity date of December 2021. How or when is the MER paid out? Is it more beneficial to me to transfer out now or to wait until the December date, (are there other factors to consider?)? thank you

Q: What is your opinion on Evolution Gaming? It is the the top holding in one of David Fingold's funds which leads me to believe this company may have excellent growth potential if not already baked into the price today. Your analysis please.

Q: I have two holdings that are not acting as I had hoped and am looking for your advice on replacing them. I'm thinking of replacing WELL with TDOC and XBC with PLUG. According to PA I'm low on US exposure as well so that is part of my idea. I'd appreciate your thoughts on both of these trades or if you have a better suggestion I'm open to ideas. I'm retired with a moderate risk profile and looking for some growth.

Q: Hi Guys
In regard to Tricon obviously most of the homes they bought in the USA after the 2008 crisis have gone up significantly in value. On Tricon's balance sheet would the original cost be reflected or what they are now all worth? Just trying to get an idea of possible upside in terms of book value. Also in regard to Tricon it seems over the years management have bumped around a bit in terms of what the company focuses on in terms of real estate investments. Do you think going forward they have found a focus that should deliver results? Also in comparison to the Industrial REIT's, like Dream or Summit, how would you rate Tricon - better or worse value and upside?

Thanks so much
Stuart

Q: How would you rank the above 3 stocks for growth? CTS is much smaller but valuation appears to be better than the other 2 - can you please comment? Is debt a concern with any of these stocks? NVEI seems to be about the same size as LSPD - do you feel it is currently over-valued like LSPD? I recall 5i recently decreased the rating on LSPD from B+ to B.
Thank you!

Q: i have not seen any analysts increase targets on gsy as as a result of the latest deal.
previous targets were in the 140 range.
after doing my own analysis, i assume it will be in 170 range now.and its strange but gsy is still inexpensive, it never gets that recognition it deserves because of the high interest it charges, i think it changes now.
whats your opinion.
dave
