Q: Good morning, I kept almost all my growth stocks thinking I'll ride it down as usual but it's a bit worst than I thought, instead should have trimmed more to the like of NVDA and SHOP and a few others. Down over 12.6% from high so far. Everything seems to being priced for recession. Panic selling has not started yet just a slow drift down. Market could go down considerably more from here. Like 10 to 20% and we won't hear the bell.
Starting to get jittery. Your view on this assumption please?
Thanks for the great service!

Q: Would appreciate your views on this morning's blockbuster announcement. The SP has been very lethargic over the past year but this could finally move the yardsticks.

CINCINNATI, April 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quipt Home Medical Corp. (“Quipt” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:QIPT; TSXV:QIPT), a U.S. based leader in the home medical equipment industry, focused on end-to-end respiratory care, is very pleased to announce the execution of a national insurance contract with a top five health insurer in the United States1.

Management Commentary

“The execution of this national insurance contract with the largest commercial payer in the United States is a major milestone for Quipt and serves as a further accelerant to our ambitious long term growth plans. The national contract is expected to be meaningful as we continue to expand into new states, broadening our operating footprint over a much wider geography. When we make an acquisition, we will be able to immediately leverage the national contract, which is extremely powerful in terms of capturing as many eligible patients as possible,” said Greg Crawford, Chairman and CEO of Quipt. “Moreover, we feel there's still a lot of opportunity for us to go after more national contracts, which would provide the opportunity to add additional payers, and we will continue to work with other large commercial payers to help them better understand our strong patient centric model and the benefits to patients and payors alike. The new national insurance contract, extremely favorable demographics, and our robust operating platform, put us in an industry leading position to provide high touch at home clinical respiratory services throughout the country.”

Q: I have too much cash and too little fixed income investments. We are facing inflation headwinds and the GIC rates I'm looking at ( sub four per cent) don't come close to this years forecast inflation. My pref shares are slumping. Can you suggest any inflation adjusted investments that are as safe or nearly as safe as GICs? In the US the treasury offers i-bonds in limited amounts. Do we have any equivalents here in our fine country? Thanks, al

Q: Inflation/recession fears are putting pressure on stocks. Rising interest rates, with even more increases to come, are putting pressure on bonds. Looking a few years out, what would be your stock/bond weighting today for a balanced portfolio with the hope of earning 4+% per year? And of your bond weighting, do you still prefer short vs long? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5I,
I recently bought $GSY on your recommendation as I thought it was a good fit for my portfolio. I then came across some comments it was a predatory lender.. I wondered is this accurate or just a disgruntled ex-employee or customer? I know they deal with less qualified borrowers and get paid more for that risk but is it not a necessary service that is policed by the government?
Thanks

Q: I noticed the question about "phantom" distributions. I was very surprised to see that the capital gains distributions at the end of the year which are rolled back into NAV show up as taxable but without the Return of Capital adjustment that is needed. So a RoC distribution that requires the ACB to be decreased is shown on T3s but when a phantom RoC distribution that requires the ACB to be increased to the benefit of unit holders is not shown on the T3. How many people are going to pay twice the amount of tax as they should on these distributions?
