Q: Hi there. I'm looking at selling my position in Propel and adding to GRID and FORTIS. I am seeing some cracks in the economy and think these other two companies may benefit more in terms of share price appreciation going forward. Does this make sense?

Q: SLF & IFC: I have held both forever and by far - not even close, IFC has out performed SLF in terms of capital appreciation and dividend growth. Yes, the yield is less with IFC at $1.33 per Q vs SLF at $0.92 per Q with a yield of 4.21 vs 2 for IFC; but, I will take both dividend growth as share price appreciation any day. I know, not a question; but, when you report yield comparisons about companies should you not include the whole picture? I bought IFC at $44 and SLF at $30 for example.

Q: A number of your past favourites are getting crushed in the market. Based on fundamentals do you see red flags with any of these companies or do you feel it’s an overreaction by the market? Do you consider these companies Buy/Hold/Sell?

Thank You
Tim

Q: To receive US funds I have 23 shares of ABBV, 78 shares BIPC, 62 shares EMA and 74 haes of QSR in a US TFSA account with TD Webroker in Canada.
1. Since the witholding tax is not recoverable should I switch these holdings to a non-registered US account?
2. Though I like the US funds received as dividends, would it be more efficient to switch these to Canadian holdings for the tax credit and hold them in a non-registered Canadian account? please use as many credits as required.

Q: Last week you rated SHOP as a top growth pick among Canadian companies. The past 24 hours has been a roller coaster ride. After pretty good earnings and then the sell-off, do you still rate SHOP as one of your 2 top growth picks? I might suggest a quick report bringing all the information from all the questions into a single brief document. An overall assessment would be helpful as a lot has happened with their financials and the market reaction. Quite puzzling.

Q: Here is an enterprise which presents ver good results above forecast and its shares plummet in the markets (more than 20%! ). What to think and what is the perspective for the future of this enterprise and also for the investor who owns some shares? (I know there is not and automatic correlation between good results and appreciation of shares, but in this case the gap is so large...). I will appreciate your comments in this case

Thank you very much in advance

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have a small position in Super Micro Computer but am not sure whether to add to it or sell it and use the proceeds elsewhere. Could you provide an update on fundamentals, insider ownership and your opinion on its potential going forward over the next couple of years.

If I decide to sell, is there another similar company that might have better prospects.

Thank you.
