Q: hello 5i:
I understand you look favorably upon LNF, looking back at questions asked and the weighting in the Income portfolio. But, looking at Operating Cash Flows: I see $2.51 for 2019, estimates of 3.93 for 2020 and a deceleration to $1.96 for 2021. That is a big drop, and should mean that the stock is currently, at best fairly valued and at worst, going to see a large reduction. Can you comment please, as I am interested in adding the company.
thanks

Q: I have WAY too much Shopify in my TFSA only because I hate giving up on a winner! I bought some at under $200 but my average is $534. I know you like it and everywhere I look it's rated as a buy so it could fall a fair way before I'd pull the plug . Do you think it's wise to still sell some and if so can you suggest something to buy in my TFSA for a 5-7year hold.

Q: In the 5i blog of Feb.9 detailing quality stocks the lifecos are listed. It seems to me that IAG stands out as having better past growth & fwd p/e numbers than SLF with way less debt. Has 5i changed its tepid opinion on IAG, particularly considering the stock price is still well off its 2020 peak compared to SLF's though IAG has been on a bit of a tear lately?

Q: Looking for some sage 5i advice,,. ! own warrants that have yielded a good return and want to continue to own BRAGG shares. Accordingly, from a capital gain (tax) perspective is it better to exercise the warrant to own the shares OR sell the warrants, trigger the capital gain then buy the shares? When is the capital gain recognised if I roll the warrants into shares? Finally, how do I redeem the warrants for shares on TD WebBroker?

Q: As I type this question ILMN is up 13.68% today. I believe they reported yesterday so they must have been strong numbers. I'm thinking of selling my PFE to buy ILMN because (not including dividends) I'm slightly negative with PFE over 3 years. I know you like ILMN and I would be buying a higher risk company and cutting back the dividends but ILMN just seems an excellent company. It would be about a 2% weighting. Any comments would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: I am planning to buy BEP on this dip. BEPC has dropped from a high of 80 to 64. BEP,UN has only dropped from 63 to 59. In the last few days, BEPC has dropped by 5% each day while BEP.UN only dropped by 2%
Can you explain the difference?
Which one should I buy given the difference in price drop?
I can buy in either my RRSP or my corp, doesn't matter. I guess if you tell me BEPC, I'd put in my corp, and if you say BEP.UN, I'd put in RRSP, would that be correct?
Thanks.
