Q: What are your thoughts on yamana gold notwithstanding your preference for B2, kl, and agnico. I understand yamana has diluted itself as well as put its focus on a single mine, as well as the brio disappointment, not to mention the price of gold which has languished. Yet.. with favourable gold seasonality approaching, and the backdrop of geopolitical issues, if this mid-tier stock were to move downward toward around perhaps $3.30 again could you make a case for purchase of yamana ?

Q: Hi 5i,

People on social media (myself included) are trying to understand why there is such a high short position for AUPH, best guess is around 12mm. Also, there is confusion regarding the growing institutional holding of around 45% (best guess), are they taking shares from retail. Further, no one seems to fully understand the implications of the options traded (puts and calls). Can you help clarify, is it possible to read anything into these activities?

Many Thanks,

Q: I know you liked this company in your last update.Since then the company has reported their first quarter results.The stock has been performing very well recently and has appeared to have broken out technically. Can you provide your latest thoughts on this company and has your opinion become more favorable to taking an initial position.
Thanks as always for your wonderful insights!

Q: Many analysts on BNN are recommending owning US banks vs Canadian, as dividend growth looks better for the US banks.. Would the benefit of owning a US bank be worth sacrificing the dividend tax break Canadians currently get,and the currency conversion to US dollars. Thank you

Q: Hi, was just thinking of Efn as a buy? I have half a position now. Was looking over the questions and it looks like you seem to think in the long run it is a good buy.
My question is,what do you think of the mngmt, and debt,do you like the sector,and is there growth in the next 2-3 years?
Thanks, doing good since I joined 5i, Brad
