Q: I own both of these stocks and was considering consolidation, but only if there's some sense in doing so. The market liked the EXAS results. Are they different enough that owning both is fine? If only one, which one is better long term?

Q: Can you comment on Killam’s recent quarterly results and how they compared with street expectations please. Also how do they compare to similar sized peers like inter rent? Is it a good buy for the multi-residential space? And what do you think of adding to this space now in the macro cycle? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team,
I currently hold BNS in my TFSA for income. I wanted to add more given the recent downgrade of some CAN banks. Is the downgrade given as a result of US banking turmoil and recession anticipation (South American exposure in BNS's case)?

How stable is the dividend very long term? Do you think there will be an increase in the coming quarter/annual results? I have asked this before but would like to know what the pulse is for it's payout.

Thank you,
Andrew

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Realizing that HEB is a new fund, but given its low MER (0.19%) and its equal weighting strategy for the big six Canadian banks, I am considering buying some for our non-registered portfolio. 5i's Portfolio Analytics indicates that our Financial Services sector needs to be raised. In this sector, we already have some TD, NA, and GSY in our RRIFs.

In a recent G&M article, David Berman wrote about this ETF and other new ones. He was pleased, as we all must be, that ETF fees are dropping.

Would you buy some HEB at this time?

Thanks as always for your valued perspective.

Q: I'm thinking of selling my shares immediately at a small discount as it appears there can be no new bidders due to ;
"61% of NeoGames’ outstanding shares, have executed a support agreement with Aristocrat pursuant to which they have irrevocably agreed to vote in favor of the Transaction."
Your opinion please.
