Q: What price would you get in for Nvei? Many thanks

Q: I think we see the method to the shorting operation Spruce Point’s madness - taking down Canadian-based but dual-listed tech firms. First Lightspeed and now Nuvei. They seem to have developed an incredibly successful strategy. Since investors seem to suffer enormous losses on the day the short is announced, my question is this: do you see any potential further targets that one should be worried about? Constellation Software and Topicus are not dual listed, so I assume they are safe, as I believe Spruce Point is benefitting from American hedge funds piling on. Is this a fallacy? I am now worried about CGI and Descartes for example.

Q: Is there any news on this stock - quite a jump today?

Q: How do I go about instructing you on my intentions regarding tendering my shares of Leon’s? I can’t find a route on your site?

Q: Hello 5i Team, Leon's announced earlier this year their intention to repurchase up to $200M in value of common shares. I received paperwork today from my brokerage that states I have until Dec 23rd to decide if I want to exercise my option to sell back shares. I'm wondering if you could provide general guidance on the Leon's buyback opportunity via the "modified Dutch auction" approach.

I think it would be advantageous for me, personally, to hold onto my shares but I've not been in this situation before so curious about any considerations that could be broadly applicable to all shareholders when something like this happens.

Any advice/information is greatly appreciated!

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

You are going to correct me where I am wrong as you should, but I am having a struggle understanding how a company such as NVEI can experience a 50% share value loss in less than 24 hours based on a report generated by a third party the contents of which may very well be exaggerated and dare I say it, even worse be false in nature purely for the purpose of profiteering on a short bet. Are there not laws in place to prevent this kind of market manipulation from taking place? How can investors such as ourselves protect ourselves from this? Maybe the first step is to avoid investing in stocks which have high multiples like NVEI @ 121? That doesn't seem to make sense considering other companies having much high multiples i.e. TSLA @ P/E 341

Thanks for all you do

Q: what does the market expect this quarter?

Q: I've tried to enter ATD.B in Portfolio Analytics but it doesn't show the current value. I've also tried ATD.A with the same result. Do I need to wait for the shares conversion from B to A or is this some other issue? Thanks in advance.

Q: Mr. Left of Citron is defending NUVEI by dismissing some of the claims about the CEO's college and driving records. But also adding NUVEI's financials were audited by Price Waterhouse Coopers, and he expects analysts and companies to defend NUVEI. Quote: Left Buys The Dip: After Wednesday’s crash, Left tweeted that he bought the dip in Nuvei. “Spruce report says word fraud 48 times..yet no proof of fraud. Easy to find cust. complaints on any company. Who cares if CEO did not graduate college or has a driving record,” Left said.

Left also pointed out that Nuvei’s financials have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, an extremely reputable auditing firm.

He went on to praise the investigative work conducted by Spruce Point but said he is betting on PriceWaterhouseCooper’s audit over Spruce Point’s investigation.

Not sure what to make of one short seller opposing the short attack of another short seller. Any brief thoughts on this. If you cover this idea in other questions, ignore this one. Thanks

Q: I own enb and presently have a 3000 dollar loss, what is the rule re selling for tax loss and how soon after selling can I purchase again. Also I have a substantial capital gain from the sale of real estate this year. Will I be able to use this tax loss against the capital gain?
Cheers, Doug

Q: Assuming rising inflation and interest rates, what are your top two or three security picks? In Canada please.

Q: Since your last comment on the stock on November 11th, the share price has declined a further 10$. Is it a compelling buy at this stage ?

Q: Hi Folks,
I have the above companies in my TFSA all at the same or so weight. I had BYD but sold it when it started to drop. I am still ahead in my sold price as compared to its current price. I am looking to add another or even BYD now that it has settled somewhat, can you give me your suggestion as to what you would add to this lineup - buy back BYD or can you provide some others that I can add. Thank you very much for your suggestions over the years.

Q: Hi 5I team,

Can you please provide your investment strategy view on sector level for 2022? Will raising interest rate put Utility and Technology sectors under pressure? TD monthly e-report recommends to overweight on Financials and Energy sectors and underweight on Utility and Tech. Do you tend to agree with it?

Thanks,

Q: Your thoughts please. It has been pretty much down down down on higher volume of late. Even on market rally days it is not participating. Thank you as always.

Q: Good morning 5i.

I've perused the Q&A section which has been extremely helpful. I'm looking to build a concentrated portfolio with growth in mind, but also a few names to balance out volatility. Based on what I've read, I was thinking of starting equal weights in the 12 positions below.

CSU, TOI, SHOP, DSG, KXS, NVEI, BAM, GSY, TFII, BYD, WSP, ATZ

What are your thoughts on the the blend of companies and would you suggest any adjustments?

Thanks for your time.

Q: Do you know the status on the Apple settlement.
Is there a new trial ongoing
If they get 100M + do you see this as a game changer. Would the stock then not double quickly.
Your thoughts please ?

Q: Hi 5I
I have $180,000 split evenly amongst above companies in RRSP. I was going to begin withdrawing $10,000 every year and am looking for strategy to draw down to maximize growth of account. Is there a ranking of companies to sell first, or take a bit from each? I like them all so tough call for me. Appreciate all your advice since my initial membership in 5I.
