Q: What are your thoughts please, thanks.

Q: Do you think spb has bottomed, or do you speculate that further downside will prevail due to tax loss selling?

I have a half position near current sp. What do you think about adding a little bit now, or wait for a further dip in the next 2 months, or simply just hold.

Thank you

Q: Any update and your analysis if this company will ever be going to be reward its shareholders with good working. So far it only dilutes it shares every 3 or 4 years by merging or acquiring other small companies.
Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i
I noticed this morning that there was a question showing concern for the election and stocks. I am not thinking about selling out completely. But, I have considered selling everything that has to do with green energy. While I think it is important and necessary, it doesn’t look like Trump thinks so. And there looks like a strong possibility that he will be given another chance to see what he can do. So, the question is not about selling all but certain things, such as icln. How would you see that?
Thanks for your great help

Q: APPF recently received a downgrade due to concerns about future growth that led to continued decrease in price. Interested in hearing your current perspective on APPF. Is their software and services something that is needed by the real estate industry? What are the current practices and options other than APPF products? What is the potential for expansion for APPF within the industry?

Q: In response to a question on Oct 10 regarding your top 10 Cdn stocks you did not include BN. Has your enthusiasm on BN faded?

Q: On October 1st, 5i answered a question which including this line "Historically, once the election results are in and the uncertainty has been removed, the markets tend to move higher into the rest of the year, regardless of the outcome." I can understand this happening historically but this is anything but a typical election compared to past elections. Trump is now speaking to the Economic Club of Chicago and again threatening high tariffs across the board. Sometimes you have to take what he says with a grain of salt but his Chinese tariffs in 2018 saw quite the pullback and that was nothing compared to what he's proposing. I'm up 20% this year with much credit to 5i. I know you don't like timing the market but I feel a need to safeguard much of my gains somehow (maybe 50% cash into CASH so it at least gives me a monthly dividend until the dust settles). Just looking for more of your thoughts here especially seeing there's a decent chance he may win. Thanks!

Q: I plan to invest $100000 in the US market.
Please advise if there is a way to minimize foreign exchange fees.
Are some brokerages better than others in this regard?
Is using Norbert’s gambit a good idea on large transactions when there is no rush on having the trade completed?
Thanks for your always helpful advice.

Q: Hi Team,

What are your thoughts on the company's current valuation and it's future prospects?

Do you believe this could be a long term compounder? Would you be comfortable buying it here?

Thanks,

Q: I plan to buy 1 or 2 of the subject stocks in a TFSA for a term hold (5 years or more unless something changes). I see each of these stocks as medium risk with good growth rates. Would you agree with my risk assessment? Please rank in your view of highest to lowest potential growth rates.

Q: XTRA This company seems to totally fly under the market’s radar. It develops and produces AI tech to provide physical security access at large venues and events. Financials are out soon and optimism is high. Recent multiple new contracts with major sports franchises, arenas and stadiums. Some major player customers (Tesla etc). The technology ought to be deployed at every school entrance across the US. Its major competitor is facing multiple lawsuits over its inferior product and is now embroiled in the New York Mayor/New York Subway contracts scandal. Seems to me the stock price should be on a steep upward projectile, yet it has remained stagnant for ages. What it is about Xtract that the marker doesn’t seem to like? Or is there something more nefarious at play to keep the stock price stifled? Thanks for all your advice and mentoring.
