Q: Hi, it seems that for several months, many analysts have considered Dollarama to be overvalued. However, the price is about 5% lower than when it hit its high in June. I already have a half position, and wonder what you would consider a good entry point? Thank you for your service!

Q: The price of HSAV is the same as 2.5 months ago and the premium shrunk to 0.14%, which seem to be extremely low considering the tax advantage of HSAV. Is it because there are a lot of sellers and nobody wants to keep money in cash these days? Does it have something to do with the CDN$? Or there are other reasons for such a poor performance of this fund lately?

Q: I am in Germany at the moment and see a lot of advertising from Ebay. Given ebay’s current valuation, competitive position, and industry outlook, do you think the company is well positioned to deliver strong shareholder returns over the next five years?
Ebay has been aggressively buying back its own shares — do you think this capital allocation strategy will continue to create value for shareholders over the next five years?

Q: Good morning 5i
You recently answered a question from a member asking how to set up an etf portfolio in which you mentioned holding QQQ as well as a US s&p etf and a couple of outside North America etf’s. It got me thinking about my own mix. I am retired and hold voo as well as vwo and a European etf. I also hold a few teck stocks such as nvidia, shop, google directly at full weight. Because of this i didn’t want to put too many of my eggs in the Technology basket, thus avoiding QQQ, thinking that i have enough exposure with voo and my individual holdings. Do you think that it would be prident to hold more QQQ?
Thanks

Q: Questions on KBL:

Can you please comment on:

- Balance sheet quality

- Management

- Current valuation relative to its history

Considering its 12-year dividend-raising drought, is there a history of companies going long periods without raising before resuming once again. Wondering if there is any hope.

A somewhat related question.......
KBL is rated B+ in your reports. Does your rating system take into account any risk profile? For instance, I believe PRL is also rated B+. So from an overall risk standpoint, would you see these two companies at roughly a similar level of risk?

Q: May I please get your views on the most recent results from CCI ? I didn't think that the report was particularly impressive but the stock price has been appreciating slowly recently. It pay a 4.3% dividend but over the longer term I'm not getting a great return. Do you see it as a hold or should I let it go and move on to something better?
Thanks for your advice.
Ian
