Q: Hi Guys

NWC has had quite a decline from over $38 a month ago to a little over $30 today. What are your thoughts about the company at this point. Is it a buy with the price drop, is their market dominance in their markets somehow altered, will they return to form in the next year or so, and is it a buy at this price?

Much thanks

stuart

Q: Your comments on the increased taxation on the dividends for this equity are noted but does that apply to US persons holding shares in their US domiciled account or just to non-US shareholders holding in say a Canadian equity account? Also the capital appreciation of this equity over the last 3 years dwarfs an Enbridge. What do you think of this obvious discrepancy moving forward should interest rates peak and hold at current levels - would the outperformance likely continue in your view? What concerns might you have surrounding PAA compared with Enbridge? Would you buy this one for a longer term hold if high taxation of dividend isn't considered? Thank you for your input.

Q: Looking to clear out some holdings that are not performing. AND is near its 52 week low and going lower highs and lower lows. HLF is a flattish chart and is about where it was 2.5 years ago. I’m down 9.5% and 11% respectively. Could use to put the money someplace else?
Thanks

Q: Hi Folks,


Retired income investor.
I recently disposed of FSZ and am now thinking I should do the same with RNW and NWH. All down considerably since acquired!
Do you think it is best to eliminate these two or hold?
Also please suggest your safest alternatives with reasonably good yields.

Thanks very much.

Q: your thoughts on Bitcoin? Not that they are right but it seems many huge asset managers are becoming interested again. For now, I believe Bitcoin is a store of value and is yet to make the tranition to unit of account. In terms of asset allocation, would it make sense to allocate a small percentage of one's portfolio 'in case it catches on'? Do you see an asymmetric upside vs limited downside and would that not justify a small position?

Q: Hello 5i team,

Here is a recent answer you provided on BN: “Given its strong management team and fundamentals, we feel that BN is currently at an attractive level. It appears to have found some support around the low ~$40”. How do you explain that TD’s Webbroker shows a P/E Ratio of 79.1 for BN?

Q: I took a survey of younger family members in Canada and United States and they spoke very favourably of Artizia and said their stores aver quite popular. Their Aventura Florida store is a big hit according to my my sister in law who is a manager of the Banana Republic in the same mall. They are also putting in cafes in their stores.
For what its worth.
