Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi,

I own SCR in my TFSA account and pleased with the recent acquisition announcement. However, I am not sure if I will receive Penn shares or Exchangeco shares when the deal finally closes.

I am assuming I would receive Penn shares as tax is not a consideration while holding this security in my TFSA. Is this a correct assumption?

Also, would I have to make an election prior to the upcoming special meeting on October 12th or would 'no action' allow the process to unfold as recommended and I end up with cash and Penn shares in my TFSA.

Thank you again for your insight.

Q: There are 101 experts out there from the U.S. giving advice wanting you to subscribe to their products so you can make millions - but the only one I take time to read is Seeking Alpha. A commentator Paulo Santos from Seeking Alpha is very bearish on NVDA. The Ethereum 2.0 Merge, set for early 2022, will create a sudden destruction of demand for GPUs which will likely be felt by Nvidia. I spend a lot of time trying to unsubscribe to many of these unsolicited emails about these financial products but have been unsuccessful with respect to many.

Q: All 3 are down today (Wednesday) when market is up. LSPD down a lot, no longer muted. Can you comment more on what's happening to LSPD and what outlook holds? Any adjustment in your opinion? As for SHOP, it's been flat to down for a while now. Any reason why? What is the compelling story behind it? Would you buy it now?

Q: There seems to be a consensus that energy companies will enjoy a resurgence for the foreseeable future. Two part question : do you concur? Secondly, if you do, would you recommend an ETF [?] to track the industry or any individual co's. I presently own Suncor and Cenovus.

Q: There is enough negative news on LSPD that crashed its share price by a short seller spreading fear this morning and then an ambulance chaser type of law firm did a pile on later.

Has the company issue anything yet? If there is no rebuttal from LSPD by tomorrow morning I would be very concerned. Usually the quicker the response from the company the better the assurance for investors. What is your view on this situation? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,
With the short attack on lightspeed, how accurate/right has been Spruce Point Capital in the past? Are they the same firm that shorted Dollarama a few years back?

Thanks,
Andrew

Q: Just a comment...this morning BMO Investorline journaled additional "cash in lieu" to my accounts for the takeover of IPL. I assume this is as a result of the many comments I made and others that the cash portion for our shares seemed very low, about $18.46/share for me. The new amount raises the cash portion to about $19.90/share. Something went wrong on the distribution and this is much more reasonable but I wish I had taken the $20/share cash offer.

Q: Hi 5i,

Just a comment: The short report on LSPD reminds me of a similar short attack on SHOP, at a time when SHOP had attained the lofty heights of around $120 a share and the short report concluded that it couldn't be worth any more than about $60 a share. It is very difficult for investors to have any certainty in the moment but that short thesis on SHOP turned out to be garbage and it is quite possible that this one on LSPD is too.

Q: Purchased AEO anticipating strong sales with back to school, reopening, stimulus and success of their aerie brand. Unfortunately, purchased this high and now have a 20% loss. Do you see opportunity for AEO to recover and do well or time t switch to another stock. This is in a registered account, so tax write-off is not a consideration.
