Q: I was told that the gov't moratorium on student loans restricted sofi's growth for the past few years. Can you see what % of business is tied to student loans? I was also told that the Supreme Court ruled against government on the moratorium and that interest charges would be payable from Sept. 1. How big of a catalyst do you see this being for sofi?
Thank a lot.

If I was to sell some csu stocks do the warants stay with the stock or do they remain in my account or can they be transferred to a tfsa if they are in a riff account?

Q: I have held SIS for a number of years and although I have enjoyed the dividend, the share price never seems to hold its momentum and drifts back to the low/mid teens where I bought it. I like the dividends but value total return more. I have never owned WELL but have followed it based on your recommendation. Can you rank the two and provide a short explanation as to your preference on the following metrics: 1) Management 2) Balance Sheet 3) Profitability 4) Long Term (5-10 yr) Return Potential and 5) Risk

I would prefer to hold just one of them.

Secondly, what is your analysis of CXI's quarter.

Many Thanks

Scott

Q: your thoughts please on the latest quarter?

Q: Can I please get your thoughts on the recent press release?

The warrants issued as part of the agreement provide Charter with the opportunity to purchase an aggregate of up to 361,050 common shares in the capital of Vecima at an exercise price equal to C$17.09 per warrant (the "Warrants") until January 1, 2031.

Q: Regarding Peter's great question on Telesat and MDA, I too have been looking further into these companies and did not see a response regarding Lightspeed and potential revenue. All I have found so far is:
"Telesat Lightspeed has the potential to transform global satellite and terrestrial communications industries, dramatically increasing the Company’s addressable market from approximately US$18 billion to approximately US$365 billion and significantly expanding its growth potential."
** from the companies Prospectus November 16 2021
and from https://spacenews.com/telesats-leo-constellation-fully-funded-after-manufacturer-switch/
"Telesat is targeting a 30% return on investment from Lightspeed, which is seeking a slice of an enterprise and government connectivity market the company estimates would be worth about 200 billion dollars around 2025."
"Telesat expects the total cost for 156 satellites to be around $3.5 billion, when factoring in launches and other expenses, including the ground systems and user terminal technology that would also be used for the 42 follow-on satellites."

Q: I am at a point in my life where I am looking to my investments more for income than growth. My question concerns how you might incorporate a strategy that are includes "dividend" stocks that pay a low yield. eg HD, TRI, CN etc. Assuming you wish to obtain an overall yield of 4% - 5% from your portfolio (in order to satisfy RRIF requirements while maintaining some growth) I would think it best not to load up only on high yield stocks and continue maintain a balanced portfolio. To achieve the necessary income should one invest in low dividend payers and sell a portion of the low yield dividend payers annually in order to achieve the be needed income; go a bit overweight on high yield equities in order to juice the income; or just forget about balancing the portfolio?

Any thought you have would be greatly welcomed.

Appreciate the insight.

Q: How big of a position would you take in BRK in a portfolio?

Q: I currently own full positions in BEP.UN and BIP.UN in a diversified dividend income portfolio. I have considered buying BN as well, but am not sure that increasing my Brookfield concentration is warranted. What are your views?
Thanks.

Q: Wondering whether you/we as a DYI, can find out if there any acquisitions going on in the above or any companies really during any quarter or do you have to wait until the next quarterly or possibly annual report?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Good Morning all,
Have had this bank in my TFSA for awhile and was waiting for some movement. However now it is looking desastrous. Do I bite the bullet now or wait for it to settle up? Some are saying the stock has an intrinsic value of close to $50 and therefore should head back toward that value. In your valued opinion, is this stock a hold or a sell?
Thank you.

Q: is it a buy at this price

Q: This was a top pick on Market Call. It was compared to Celsius Holding in its early days. Do you see this as a hold buy or sell.
