Q: Hello 5i research team,
What is the probability of a higher bid? Based on a 50,5% cash and 49,5% bce shares bid, I understand that shares closed the day really close to the bid value: 16,02 vs 16,04. Would you recommand I sell at this price or tender sometime in January? Especially if I use margin? Another day, another takeover: does it feel like the last innings of the game (recently : AF, PJC, HNZ to name a few)? Which companies you cover could be the next ones? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Based on the recent quarterly results for ZCL, what are your thoughts surrounding the stock's target price over a 2-3 year term? I'm trying to decide whether to cut my losses at this time or hold long term in hopes for a recovery. Your input and insight is greatly appreciated.

Q: If I purchase a Cdn ETF that tracks the DOW or S&P 500, I am confused about what it means if it is "hedged to the CDN Dollar".
For example, if I think the Cdn. dollar will fall against the USD, which ETF will do better, the hedged or unhedged?

Thank you!
