Q: When the Gamestop frenzy was active Wednesday the market dropped 600 points. When it was restricted Thursday the market recovered. Now the market is plunging again. Is this mere coincidence or are funds which have to cover their shorts being forced to dump shares in other stocks on the market in order to get the cash to buy gamestop? In other words, how much of the fall the last few days is due to the actions of the reddit gang?

Q: Protection question: I hear and see many of the "pros" talking about protection .... especially the Najarian bros. In the absence of their talent and knowledge of options trading, what choices do us "little guys" have to protect ourselves - other than selectively selling off some of our holdings; and ensuring proper diversification?
As usual, thanks in advance for the outstanding service 5i provides. So many of us would be poorer $$$'wise and knowledge wise without you fine folks.

Q: With the recent acquisition, it seems that Sangoma is issuing 22 million shares now, and then an enormous number of shares (88 million) issued in slow quarterly chunks between 2022 and 2026 to the acquired company. How will this affect the share price in the future, ie. are these going to be quarterly share price dilutions that current shareholders need to dread? Or overhangs? Please explain.

Q: Silver. Why has silver been going up. Is it a play against a SHORT by Robinhooders

Q: Hello all,
I'm really overweight BIP.UN and BEP.UN. I'm thinking of trimming back both and buying Topicus when it begins trading. I realize they are in different sectors. I will have some Topicus because of my ownership of CSU. Just thinking of adding more TOI. Your thoughts please?

Thank you,
Brent

Q: Hi Peter,

How do you see the hedge funds unwinding their position? All the data says that there is still over 100% short interest.. if "the people" don't sell and keep buying it will drive the price/daily margin calls higher and higher until they are bankrupt (and they are already probably close due to the $2.75B injection Melvin had to get, which was before the price was as high as it is now and is probably all gone).

But if they start unwinding the massive short position it will just squeeze them harder. Am I missing something? What do you think their plan is here? Are they all calling each other saying "don't unwind we need to hold off?" Seems like a big game of chicken and the masses are not backing down - people were already pissed off before hand, but I think people got extremely enraged on that day the retail guy for restricted and could only sell but the hedge funds could trade freely.

I think they were already on the brink and it would have been game over if robinhood didn't restrict trading that day last week. But even now they only allow 1 share to be bought. If it wasn't for the restrictions "the squeeze would have be squoze" they say! What do you see as likely scenarios for this ending?

Q: Please tell me about this situation

Q: Hello 5i

Could you please let me which option below you’d select and what would be your favorite dividend grower with stock appreciation to add new money to? BCE is yielding 6% and is either

1. A great gic as it pays a solid 6% return but business is flat and will not grow.

2. A shrinking business and will lower in value going forward.

3. A growth and income stock that provides a great yield, continues to increase that yield and will growth the business business (worst days behind it)

Q: How long of notice do these short squeezed companies have to give to issue new shares and shore up the balance sheet? If AMC was to issue new shares at the elevated price it would be a win for them. I see executives are cashing shares in - why not? I would.

Q: Hello Peter,
What does the acquisition do to the stock price in the short term? The share count nearly doubles. Do the newly minted shares lead to some selling pressure specially by the new owners or the promise of future drive the price higher immediately?
