Q: hi,
I own both GOOGL and CRWD. I am considering selling CRWD for a tax loss, and buying more GOOGL since the AI (or is is AU for artificial unintelligence?) chat thing mishap has driven price down more. question is do you think this is wise, or do you like CRWD as much as GOOGL right now? I am a long term investor, and certainly don't need to get (another) tax loss benefit. appreciate your thoughts, chris

Q: Good morning 5i. I appears that I am the first to ask a question about D-Wave. Quantum computing intrigues me but this looks like a sad story. The stock has gone from about $12 to $1 in roughly 6 months since initially listed. I watched the May 2022 webcast and my non-financial analysis view i.e., looking at body language, the team, etc. was not good.

What is 5i's view of any potential financial positive outcome, realizing that Mrs. Market has expressed deep concern. I don't own but would love to hear your analysis/view.

Q: Good morning,

If the onus is on the taxpayer to adjust one's ACB on mutual funds every year when there is a return of capital ("ROC"), how likely do you think it is that the CRA has as good a handle on what your ACB is on a particular holding?

I am fine to do it, and have been doing it annually for years. But as I started the process yesterday for the 2022 tax year, I could not help but wonder if it really is worth it. It is such a manual process that I struggle with how the CRA could track something like this for every individual tax payer.

Q: Good evening, 5i team

I appreciate having your thoughts on keeping 2 out of these 5 for a pretty condensed portfolio. I sided with BNS & CM among the big 5. Thank you!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have owned this bank for several years and am aware of all their problems. I know they are in transition and restructuring. I realize they are at risk but am wondering if at this point it could be viewed as a possible contrarian play. It seems so cheap to what I paid in the past that I am thinking that maybe I have nothing to loose in buying more and at least recovering some of my money back. Of course that means that they will survive and not go bankrupt...even a take over might lift the value. Or do you think I am just in dream land? Thanks for your opinion as usual.

Q: Holding AQN in a dividend portfolio and down like many others. Pondering a switch to BEPC and looking for your thoughts on this move based upon prospects for total return over the next 2-3 years. I understand that in these situations looking forward is what matters but must admit I think my bitterness at the fall of AQN might be clouding my rationality a bit.

Q: Hi

BN is 3.6% of our portfolio.

Financials are 19% of or portfolio and our Real Estate is at .50%.

Thinking of selling half of our BN and buying CIGI to reduce our financials and increase our Real Estate.

Does this make sense?

Thank you

Mike
