Q: Hi, Higher yielding equities, like Utilities, Pipelines and Telcos seem to be hit more and more, everyday. Do you see these sectors to come under more pressure, as FED/BOC is not likely to relent and continue with the rate hiking cycle, may be even into 2023. We are sitting with 15-20% capital loss situation, for above two companies bought in Aug/Sep, this year. Would it make sense to sell/harvest the capital loss and buy back later with the assumption that there is more downside to come ? Thank You

Q: Looking at EFN and TFII to deploy new money. EFN has done better the last 6 months and appears more expensive. RBC rates them both outperform. How comparable are their businesses and which one do you consider more attractive at present? Thanks for your help.

Q: I am curious if your opinion of these two firms has changed. I am interested if you see any catalysts for significant growth from either of them. I do realise they are - or at least were - high risk. Just looking for some play money attempts at a 10 bagger plus! Some of my comments are below.

1) In the last couple of years ZDC has managed to move in to something we might be able to call profit, and their market cap has grown from your $4 million estimate in 2019 to about $30 million today.

2) AMI you called a sell in 2020. Their fracking sand was supposed to be a hot thing for them for years now, and I do see "some" movement in that direction, but slowly indeed.

Q: Hi 5i team.

Looking to add a few penny stocks to my play money account.
When do they (ADCO) report next and what is expected please.
I have patience. Do you see a future for this company and it's stock price.
Can you suggest 3-5 small caps similar with better potential from here?

Many thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

In your recent article you highlighted that it would be a good time to start stepping into purchasing bonds. I am in my late-30’s so I have a longer term investment horizon and a medium to high risk tolerance. I have never purchased bonds in the past so what would be the best approach to purchasing bonds (ie. is it best to buy an ETF or individual bonds) to capitalize on the current depressed pricing?

Do you see this as being a long term trade or a purchase that should be exited when the conditions begin to reverse?

Thanks in advance,
Jon

Q: I am losing patience with SWP and would like your advice if it is time to move on? Other names I hold in my small cap speculative holdings are STC, DND, EGLX and AT. If I was to sell SWP, can you rank these 4 from most attractive to least. Are any of these 4 in danger of going bankrupt?

As well, has there been any update on TV and has it started trading OTC?

Many thanks
Scott
