Q: your current thoughts and future growth potential of bfly.

Q: Please comment on recent results and forward looking growth and potential. Would you buy at these prices?

Q: Can you explain Dreams announcement at the close today. It seems DIR has done a bought deal of 12.5M shares at a price of $14.20 (a little below todays close) to raise money which they will then use to buy back 12.5M A class preferred shares? This is a confusing one, why would they do this? Also will this hurt the regular DIR share price since its diluting the shares? Would you buy or is this a bad move? Thx

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!!
I bought some TSM just about the time Buffett bought his stocks in TSM. Unlike Buffett, I did not sell mine when he did, which was shortly after he bought them, citing geopolitical concerns. I find this a head scratcher. Why? To approve of an investment and then quickly disapprove, it seems someone at Berkshire was asleep at the wheel . This was rather sloppy of them. Just like the Fed, you don’t want to bet against Warren, but still, my inclination is to hold onto the stock since I am a long term investor. What are your thoughts on TSM?
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Hi!
I just read piece about CIX in the Globe here: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-ci-financial-us-expansion-leave-canada/ .

It is a far from flattering description of CIX (says the CEO is overpaid, and the CEO overpaid for the US businesses, too much debt).

I have a couple of questions.

1) The article said that the CI will delist from the NYSE and be listed only on the TSE,
This seems like a bad development. What do you think?
2) Also, there is the talk about the IPO. Well, what does that exactly mean for share holders (ideally)? Would the IPO lead to a pop in CI's share price?
3) Would it end up being a dilutive transaction?

Maybe I am being pessimistic, but the outlook for CI seems...unprofitable...and I fear the worst (permanent loss of capital).

Q: in laymans terms why are a lot of the regional banks in the u.s. dropping like a rock.
will this affect the canadian banks in your opinion .
