Q: Hi Guys,

Three Part Question:

1. Is there anywhere that summarizes current NCIB's outstanding for TSX companies? Or what is the best way to find this information? Surely there is a better way than diving into each companies latest earnings release?

2. Is there anywhere that summarizes current CEO/Executive Board Salaries and Stock Options / Share Issuance? Again, hopefully not having to dive into each company?

To tie these questions together -> If a company is engaging in an NCIB, but at the same time, granting huge stock options to it's CEO/CFO, is there a possibility for CEO/CFO's to game the system here? i.e. - CEO/CFO accumulates stock, then makes decision to buyback shares pushing price back up and CEO/CFO then sells at higher price?

Thanks,

Q: In the LIRA account which is quite small the holdings are SJ, FSZ and TOY. TOY is only a 2% weight, SJ and FSZ both 3.6 % weight and all 3 are in a loss position. Would you add to any of these or look for a new stock to add like GDI to the LIRA? I have a long time before retiring.
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I hold a large position in TELUS. But I'm concerned about the impact of a possible decision by the Canadian (or other) governments to refuse to accept the Huawei 5G system. Your thoughts? If I believe that Huawei will be rejected, would it be better to exit, or at least reduce, TELUS? Thanks in advance.

Q: Between Nov 15 and Nov 18, one director sold 41000 shares of SIS , reducing his holding in his personal account to 76500 shares. proceeds $592000. He also divested 23667 shares from an account in which he has indirect ownership, eliminating this account position, proceeds $341000. Does it mean he has no confidence in this company? Could I have your comments please. Thanks a lot

Q: Hi there, thanks for your reply to my question earlier. Just a follow up: if you were a KL shareholder, would you continue to hold? trim? sell or buy more on the dip? KL is 6.5% weighting in my portfolio and I'm a long time holder of KL thanks to 5i recommending it - and thanks very much for that!

Q: I have read that Canadian banks this week are gearing up to report their slowest annual earnings growth since the global financial crisis.
Do you anticipate a negative market response to my holdings listed above? With all 3 at 52-wk highs, how would you rank them for a continued "Hold"?
