Q: Dear 5i,
Do you think the CRA will have any concerns with Horizons change from a Total Return Swap structure to a Total Return Corporate Class structure implemented in Nov. 2019?
I understand that Horizons changed all their Total Return Swap ETF's to this new structure late last year. I would like to avoid any future CRA tax issues if I purchase one of these Total Return Corporate Class ETF's. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: Hello, I received a tendered cash offer of USD $12 (so, about CAN $16) for the units of this security from the corporation for cancellation). The tender deadline is August 26 and there is no date noted for the purchase..

Is there a reason why this offer is not immediately supported by a price hike to CAN $16 (or thereabouts) as $CAN 16 is the floor price in the near term?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i team. Is it unusual for trading to be halted for over 6 hours today (so far), with no communication from anyone why?.. and no indication when trading will resume?

I see nothing in my TD Webroker news feed except for the news of the trading halt itself, and nothing published today on the Nuvo website.
Based on your info sources, are you able to discern and share what the reason for the trading halt may be? Typically where else would such information be available?

Q: I am still holding Spin Master and hoping to recoup my substantial loss ($42 per share cost). I was my own fault being hesitation to sell when 5i removed it from the portfolio. It`s share price has recovered nicely from the low.
Please evaluate the current status of the company and recommend buy, sell or hold. Thank you for your great service.

Q: If my first objective is capital appreciation, how would you rank these three? Second question, my perception is that FTS isn't as "renewable" compared to BEP and AQN. How would you compare FTS to the other two in this regard?
Thanks.

Q: I am holding this name, but at under 2% of RRSP. I also have a position in XGD, which obviously has not risen as smartly this year. I'm bullish on gold over the next year, but also don't want to be greedy, so I'm asking if I let PRYM run or churn out to XGD or elsewhere in this space? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Research,
I have read the news on July 28, regarding for the QNX operating system (OS), seem like the new trend will have auto pilot in furture and it said: "The global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach nearly $600 billion by 2026." Do you think BB can successfully turn around to start making big profits, also now the price around $6 is near the bottom? Would you please kindly advise.

Q: I have a 3% position in GC in my TFSA and still am up on it having bought in at $25 per share. I am wondering if I should consider selling and move onto something else and keep this one on the watchlist for conditions to improve (i.e., back to full operating capacity). Also what is expected for the upcoming earnings report and any guess on how the market will react to what will likely be a bad quarter (or is the bad news already priced in). Are there other consumer cyclicals you could recommend as a replacement or prefer better in either Canada or the US?

As always, thanks for the fantastic service!

Q: I see the last question asked on this equity was in 2017; I assume things have progressed since then. I have two questions - do you have any insight into the efficacy of this technology, are there competing interests etc.? I have read the adv literature; it sounds promising and they appear to quote legitimate sources - but maybe that is the art of promotion - and .... your site refers the reader to Creating Alpha whose value is not known to me. Do you have an opinion on this service, and of course on this equity? Thank you.
