Q: I currently hold positions in two drillers - CET and HWO. I am looking to consolidate my holdings into one driller. CET and HWO are pursuing very different strategies going forward. CET is acquiring firms and HWO is divesting assets. In your opinion what is the better company to keep or is it too close to call?

Q: Minto and apartment REITS in general like Killam and CAR-UN.TO have fallen substantially Minto for example trading at about 53% of its one year high and a P/E of 1.56 which I know is not the best metric for reits AFFO looks good that being said do you think they have more than priced in the interest rate rises at this point and are a good buy here.

Q: Date of Record and Ex-dividend dates….
If planning to sell a stock while qualifying for the dividend, may the stock be sold on the ex-dividend date (given the two days to settle trade) or must it be after the ex-dividend date?
Are there exceptions to the general rule?

Q: From time to time, your answers about certain equities suggest that the stock "is not one we worry about". Are there any names in your Balanced and Growth portfolios that you are worried about?

Many thanks.

Q: QCOM has been dropped a fair amount more in recent weeks, perhaps due to news about a US policy about chips to China. While big on chip manufacturing, does QCOM in fact have more (eg IP assets) that would make the large drop because of the US policy announcement overdone?

In any event, does QCOM have good potential for a recovery in the next short while? Otherwise, I might take a tax loss and add to, say, MSFT; any comment about that move?

thank you for your excellent service

Q: Hi 5i,

Is there a straight-forward way of determining the price that management/insiders of a publicly traded corp. purchased their shares? Is there a service you are aware of that quickly provides this information, or does an investor always need to dig through SEDAR filings to do this to find out.

Same question for institutional holders of a co. - is there a straight-forward way of finding out how much they bought into a corp. for?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Q: Hi 51,
Thanks for your thoughtful answer to my question earlier this morning asking which sectors you expect to recover more quickly, and for some names you like in each.
The names you listed in the two sectors you identified (tech and consumer discretionary) were all US companies. Do you see the same sector recovery pattern being followed in Canada, and can you provide some Canadian names in the sectors you like that you would expect to 'lead the charge'? Thanks!
