Q: This is just a big thank you to 5iResearch. I thought I had a nice basket of solid stocks with many dividend payers, including a whole bunch recommended by 5iResearch. My stock portfolio was down 40% in the COVID-19 world and because I'm nearing retirement, I was getting worried and thinking about selling so that I'd least have the 60% left and maybe put it into GICs and try to live off that. But, your team kept advising me and others to hang on, suggesting that selling at that point was the wrong thing to do. I held on. I'm now back up to 100% and more. Thank you!

Q: Hi,
To enhance growth potential in the low-interest and slow-growth environment, I am thinking of selling JPM to buy either V, MA or PYPL. Any suggestion and comment? I already own half position of V in my other account.
Thanks,
Martin

Q: How can I obtain information on what price warrants can be exchanged at and for what period of time? Currently, I would like that information on AESEW, but I would like to find sites that provide that information on other warrants. Thanks for you help.

Q: What are your current thoughts on PBH? I'm looking at my holdings to evaluate what should potentially be cut for a better performing company. I've only got a couple laggards and PBH is one of them, after basically breaking even in the last year. I do feel its undervalued and could do better if some of their problems of the last few years go away and I think mgmt is pretty believable and optimistic. Not to mention the Canada Pension plan investment. Question is should I continue to hold for better days or maybe bail on this one and top up LightSpeed. I'm up overall so no tax loss consideration here. Thx

Q: Looking to deploy excess cash, mainly for dividends and some growth. I have room in both utilities and telecom sectors. If I compare the Utilities and Telecoms listed, it would seem from current valuations (Fwd PE versus historical PE average) and looking at share appreciation the past 5 years ( history of generating shareholder value) , 5yr dividend growth rates and expected revenue growth, the utilities group easily wins on all counts. Based on this analysis, I should be buying from my list of utilities before I start buying from the Telecom list. Do you agree with my conclusion? Should I add any additional analysis? Thank-you.

Q: I hold BAM.A at a 1.6% total portfolio weight. Would you be comfortable adding to double the weight to 3.2% or even 4% or 5%? Or is that too risky?
Thanks

Q: Hey Guys, been a few months since we've heard your thoughts on MCR. I'm flip flopping on this one because its clearly underperformed due to being tied to the o&g sector. But we've seen other o&g companies and even service companies (drilling not pipeline) recovering, while MCR still heads down. However I still see potential here, very high insider ownership, trading below book value, still profitable, reducing shares, decent roic, and 2020 guidance has been updated twice in the last 6 months to 250M. Yes the share price still heads down. I feel this one has the potential to increase dramatically or am I holding on to this one too long? Thx
