Q: Hello 5i team,

There is such a difference in Nuvei’s adjusted and unadjusted financial results. On an adjusted basis it looks like an incredible growth at a VERY price story. Unadjusted with stock compensation doesn’t look close to the same. What are your thoughts on the adjusted and unadjusted results for this story?

Also, do you have any concerns about the adjusted fcf yield that is used to buy back shares that are issued at part of comp and adjusted out, effectively making the story less profitable?

Thank you!

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Thanks to your consistent answers not only to my questions but to other subscribers, I have taken a position in RY, BN and TD. BNS may follow soon.

However having browsed through literally hundreds of questions on US Financial stocks, I don't see the same consistent answers. JPM seems to get your nod mostly. Even that doesn't get the nod with the fervor with which you endorse RY for example. In general you seem to be less enthusiastic about the US big banks.

What are the US banks that you would rank in the same order as you often do in Canadian banks? i.e. equivalent to RY/TD/BNS.

Thank you.

Q: Good morning,
Regarding the question asked by Jean on June 27 about charities and RRSPs I have been searching for general tax information at death on my RIF as well as specific information as it applies to beneficiaries and charities and have come up empty handed. I have tried the CRA by phone and website as well as my financial institution. I seem to be asking the wrong questions or want information that is kept in a black box.
Are you able to point me toward the source(s) of the information you use to answer Jean's question or must I look for a tax accountant.
Thank you for any assistance,
Brian

Q: Hi, I think I know all the positives for this company but based on the valuation would you buying right now? How does the current valuation stack up to it’s historical? Or those of their “peers”. I know a long term investor shouldn’t time things, and I hear that sage voice saying buy when others are fearful, it’s just hard for me to pull the trigger (I think I’m one of the fearful ones)

Thanks for your advice.

Q: Would you suggest some ETFs that capture U.S. & Cdn stocks - top ones that hold top DOW, NASDQ & S&P? My son is 33 YO - has RRSP, TFSA and Non- Reg acct, I believe he owns some NVIDIA stock. I realize not a lot of info. My investment strategy is quite different as I am not - as a priority, focused on growth; but, dividend growers which has served me well over the last 15 years.
Thank you,
James

Q: For a TFSA if you could pick a few value stocks that have good balance sheets and maybe provide a “margin of safety” if we did have a recession, but also show some promising upside in the medium term if the stars align what would they be? (I’m agnostic on sector and cap size, US or Canada)
Thank you
