Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i,

In Sept 22 you gave NFI a "B" rating. You commented that it is a little on the risky side.

Do you think the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow are strong enough for an investment in their convertible debenture (NFI.DB) which is due in 2027? I realize their would be no conversion possibility with the bond.

Thanks for your opinion on NFI.

Q: In a prior question you mentioned that Goeasy's "funding may slow down or cost more if investors get nervous in general, but it can't really experience a 'run' on current funding like a small bank can". I am trying to understand why Goeasy can't experience a 'run'. What is different with this company? You had also mentioned that it has a different funding base. Thank You.

Q: Regarding carrying charges for etf investment income are you allowed to use fund fees.
For example. $40,000 on Dec. 31 X .0069 management fee = $276 carrying charges, or
$40,000 X .0076 mer = $304

Thank you

Q: Hi guys...great service...any really undervalued stocks you think are fantastic buys at the moment? perhaps 3-5 names on both sides of the border? Perhaps names that have been unfairly punished for any reason. Thanks.

Q: Hi there, you mentioned this name in an answer to a question Monday as one to consider buying on the dip caused by the svb blow up. I had my eye on it because it seems to have strong earnings growth. I hesitated because it is up about 100% already this year and there was a short report on it. Can you comment further on why you like this name? I am afraid to buy something that is already up so much as I worry that it could fall a lot in a profit taking environment. The short report has also scared me off. Thanks as always for the comments.
