Q: I'm down 70% on HLF. Any chance this company could go bankrupt? I don't mind hanging on to recoup some of my losses but I would rather not watch it go to zero.
Thanks
Q: Hello I was wondering what you thought of HLF earnings.? The stock is down so much this year but it has been here before and came back. Do you see this being an entry point for a long term buy for another ride up? Do you think it will need to cut it's dividend 8% + currently? Thanks again for the great service.
Q: Good Morning 5i
Can you comment on Constellation investment of 5 Billion CAN$ into Canopy Growth? How you see this playing out in lead up to Oct. 17th. legalization? How do you see this playing out to late 2019 when I would consider selling? Constellation is a Major US backer who obviously believes in the future market - Canadian, US & International - both medical & recreational. You have supported WEED as a speculative best pick. Is it now rising on that scale and if not, why ? Please direct question to 5i person most knowledgeable on this space. Thanks.
Q: I hold the above and they all had favorable comments from 5i on growth at one point. Is growth still intact? Do you see anything that's changed in the companies or the environment that would affect any of these? They are inside an RSP for long term growth. TIA!
Q: Your thoughts on this particular company? It looks very cheap and with interest rates rising, why has this company been beaten down in terms of its share price?
Q: Another Stars question. The weakness in the stock is attributable to UK competition review - CMA has 40 days to issue preliminary findings. Stock has now lost 30%; those of us who follow 5i recommendation are down 25%. What are thoughts from here? Does Uk green light the merger - require divestiture or - kill the deal? Management has authored its own demise with poor guidance statement - why do this? Is this an attempt have the company taken out? What do you recommend we do with this holding? Next support stop looks to be $29 ish after that is free fall to $20.

Q: Your thoughts on BHF? It seems to be trading at a very low multiple in terms of its price to cash flow. I'm thinking there may be an opportunity here as rates begin to rise. How would you compare it to other life insurance companies in the US?
Q: What would you think of adding this to a portfolio today for a long term hold for growth. I keep hearing about the stage of the cycle we are at and how healthcare performs better towards the end of a bull cycle. Do you share that view?
Q: Interesting article in Globe re Softbank. I am looking for some international growth prospects (especially outside of US). I hold Alibaba (which Softbank invested in recently according to article) and Tencent, the competition to Alibaba.
Would you add Softbank at this juncture given its current price?
Hold or sell Tencent?
Hold or sell Alibaba?
Thank you.

Q: What do you think of the mix of REITS I am planning to buy to represent the real estate portion of my portfolio which would be 5% total? Any suggested changes?
Q: Could I please get 5iResearch’s thoughts on QCOM’s offer to shareholders to purchase their shares at a price ranging between $67.50 & $60. The downside of the offer is that the US government will treat the payment as a dividend payment, subject to a 30% withholding tax. To get the withholding tax back there will be forms to file with the US government once the sale is completed. Presently my shares are in a non-registered account, have a 4% gain & pay a 3.5% annual dividend. Would you recommend just selling the shares now on the open market or holding the shares for future growth. They account for 23% of my US info tech sector & 3% of my total US portfolio. Thanks … Cal
Q: Please comment on the recent results for Birchcliff. Also, are you still relatively positive on this company going forward given that their Q2 report did not meet analyst expectations. Where would you rank it among other mid-size gas weighted names on the TSX?
