Q: Dear 5i team.
Please provide an updated view of FLOW given recent Q results reported.
It's fall from IPO to current penny stock status is alarming. What ,in your view, does the Founder/now CEO need to do to right this ship and get the stock back to IPO levels? Can you give us a sense of the numbers they need to achieve to make this a possibility?
Many thanks for your insights.

Q: Morningstar is giving FNF a five star rating at its current valuation with Point & Figure analysis indicating continued declines ahead. What is your perspective on FNF's future growth prospects and its continued ability to pay its healthy dividend?
Q: Hi! I'm researching midstream companies. They all have a lot of debt given the capital intensive nature of the business. How do you evaluate if it is too much debt. All the ratios seems high, but they're like that for all the companies. For example, PPL has LTD of $10 billion and total equity of $14 billion, almost 70%! KEY has LTD of $3.7 billion or there about and not equity since it is in a deficit position. Help please!

Q: I am considering investment in HHL primarily for the Dividend but it has also pulled back in this market, so potential growth as well. Is Healthcare and Dividend ETF's fairly safe in this current market? Is there another ETF with good income and some potential for growth. Thanks
Q: Good day team,
First things first, thanks for your steady advice during this downturn. A calming voice is very much appreciated.
My portfolio so far is adequately diversified. Believe it or not it is still up on the year. I have some play money which Im planning on using to make a bet against commodities, in particular copper and/or oil and gas. One idea comes to mind is buying puts against TECK. Any other suggestions? Either stocks or ETFs?

Q: I am considering HTA for my RRIF. I understand the higher than dividend income received is because of their covered call practice.
Is their covered call income impacted by the recent sector decline and how so ? Does this income vary depending upon their practice and if so, how do they maintain their consistent distribution? HTA has been touted as an investment vehicle safer ( less decline) than owning the individual stocks because of the covered call strategy , has this proven to be true ? Thanks Derek

Q: Hi Ryan,
Several years ago I engaged with 5i for a portfolio analysis. I'm a recently retired investor. 5i strongly encouraged me to include a fixed income component to stabilize portfolio fluctuations and lower volatility.
With that advice and for tax purposes I purchased XBB, CLF, and PMIF into my RRSP. Now that the interest rates are marching steadily upwards I'm in a significant capital loss situation on my portfolio's bond allocation.
At this point do you suggest I just hold through the cycle and absorb the loss or should I sell and reallocate funds? Perhaps into some solid Canadian dividend payers? (eg. GWO?)
As always, much appreciate your advice and guidance in these unprecedented times. Thank-you.

Q: Hi team,
If inflation is actually such a problem (and not just supply chain/staffing issues) why do you think gold has not performed far better?

Q: I know you're not a fan of DFN but could you explain why it has held up perfectly as everything else in the market has been crushed...all the while paying a 15% yield?
Q: Is there a REIT or two that provides high growth potential and high dividend yield. Given the current market circumstances, I might be able to get something at a deflated price.
Q: I presently own Surge Energy and Tamarack Energy. Both are up multiples from their 52 week lows. Surge is starting a 3.5% dividend on July 15th.
Both are down a bit during this selloff. Would you add to either or have they gone up so much in the past twelve months that it is a bit greedy to expect either/both to continue rising. Josef Schachter said Surge could go to $13 (it did), then possibly $20 and eventually $40 in 2-3 years.
Tamarack is more solid but has had an awesome year, as well. Are they peaking now?
Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
TOI has had a rough couple days. Today as of writing down another 5%. At $62 a share today would you consider this a great buy? Is there any news that is making the stock drop extra bad today compared to some other tech stocks that are rallying some today? Also...even though oil is more in favour in todays market, would you consider selling some of either WCP, BTE, or TVE to buy into TOI weakness? And would you consider TOI a better long term hold than an oil stock?Thanks
Shane.
