Investment Q&A

Q: What are your thoughts on the weakness in BLK after Fidelity announced their 0% MER mutual funds?

Q: SAFM released the 3rd qtr results today which were underwhelming. I can understand a slight decline in sales but there must be something in the expenses which was not explained in the release. The company has been disappointing for several qtrs now. Your thoughts about this company going forward will be appreciated.

Regards
Ian

Q: I am buying a few junior uranium companies as speculations. Can you tell me a bit about this company's cash position, debt, cash burn, and how long it could survive until the uranium market improves? Any other comments you have would also be very much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Q: Hi there - what would be your preference between these two companies for a 3-5 year hold?

Q: I would love to buy Grubhub, Square and Salesforce to add to the FANGs that I bought a year ago at then "stratospheric" prices. Do you think these three are too expensive or in for similar one year gains? Please rank and comment. Thank you.

Q: Would you pay $53 for Canopy Growth or would it be more prudent to allow the industry to get up and running before investing? What are your top 4 cannabis investments and why?
Thank you.

Q: What are the benefits and risks of an investment in CGI?

Q: Good afternoon,
I would appreciate your opinion upon this somewhat unusual REIt.

Q: I own both of these companies and I have very good gains on each of them. What is your rationale for adding to a winning position? Should I wait for a pullback or add to it monthly for the next 3 months or so in addition to the DRIP.

Thank you,
Jason

Q: Tucows (an older pick of yours), has dropped a fair bit since it's last quarter results. Would now be a good time to enter a position for a 5 year hold ? or would you prefer an alternative ? I already hold CSU, KXS & OTEX.
Thank you once more for your valued advice
John

Q: From your income portfolio, could you please name two companies to buy today?

Q: what are the metrics,risks and a 2-4yr outlook on buying both of these?many thanks

Q: I much appreciate the US market maps that finviz.com provides, with its various options and details. Finviz does provide a small market map of the Canadian market, but it lacks relevant detail. Is there a site that provides more fine-grained maps of the Canadian markets? There is a Canadian one at https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/carpet.html?[TSX], but it lacks much detail. Thank you.

Q: Good Morning 5i

Can you confirm % of WEED owned by Institutions/Funds? How has that changed in the last month? What percent is owned by insiders? What percentage is owned/controlled by Constellation (both owned and warrants)?

Therefore what percentage of total shares are available for retail trade? What effect could that have on future SP growth? I'm trying to understand how so many shares being already committed or tied up lends itself to increased likelihood of SP to increase in 2018.

Thanks for any comments.

Q: Your opinion on MCB's prospects going forward. Is this dead money?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I have suffered as have many with losses in this sector( most of which I have crystallized. I still own HWO, SES and CEU. Assuming I want to stay in the sector would you replace any of the above with either
TCW, SHLE or STEP.
Your opinion and supporting rationale is appreciated. Please dock my questions as you see fit
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Hi 5i,
I know that speculating on takeovers is not something you advocate but do you think Covalon may be heading for a buyout? The recently announced licensing agreement with “a large global medical company” reminds me of the deal that Pure signed with Xylem, leading to the takeout of Pure less than a year (I think) later. It looks like a ‘test drive’ of marketing COV’s product and services suite. If the larger company becomes convinced it can sell the product, preserve the margins, and scale that across a larger market, a buyout is a likely next step, isn’t it? Plus, the described global medical company is presumably not Canada-based. For a non-Canadian acquirer, the perceived Saudi-Canada relations risk would likely be a non-issue. Thanks!

Q: Is this stock a buy or do you have another suggestion in the cyber security space ?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is a rather unfair question. I realize this may be a difficult comparison. However if you had to choose one of these companies based on current price for a 3 year hold which one has the better long term value? Your opinion is always appreciated!
Thank you!

Q: Hello 5i Team,
What do you think about the short report on Stars Group? The Co. seems to have countered most of the negative points raised. Also, is the short position big and/or still growing?
Thanks for your usual help.
