Q: Do you ever see activists coming in to deconglomerate power corporation? After they rolled power financial into Power Corp I would have thought the stock would have done better.
Or is it too tightly controlled by the Desmarais family?
I think spinning off their companies would see a massive pop in the stock.
Any thoughts on the above?

Q: Hi team,
Real has been a falling knife since the last earnings release. I own it in 2 different accounts and are down 20-30% on them.Should I continue to hold out for better days, or should I sell one of my positions and replace it with something else? My plan was to hold for long term as it seems like a good company with good growth prospects. If you do suggest selling part of my position , what would be your top stock to buy today either US or cnd for growth to replace it with ? Thanks

Q: Not a Q but a comment. My biggest winner (not by $ which is SHOP - thanks for that!) is RPI.UN which I bought at 2009 bottom. A 1600 bagger!
Most of it came from dividends. I would never have guessed that possible.

Q: I bought BCI on April 18 2018. We're coming up to 3 years of zero performance in a very bullish (record highs) market.

If after 3 years nothing has happened plus the online eye care market is booming (Warby Parker, etc) do you see any reason in the not too distant future of this stock showing any significant upside?

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: Yesterday I sold BEPC in my RRSP as the stock had a huge run. Now I am underweight in Utilities. Is it a good idea to buy BEP.UN now as a replacement now or wait for the price to go down. Would you recommend XUT ETF instead? Currently own small position of AQN in utilities. Sincerely appreciate your opinion.

Q: Hi still hold all 4 of these stocks but would like to consolidate them, the BIP shares are in an RRSP of BEP in a non-registered account which is more income oriented. I am mainly concerned with which have more growth.
Thx

Q: Both funds hold BTC only, no other alt coins that I can see. The current price has a premium to NAV of 27% and 3% for QBTC.U. Why such a huge spread ? I know GBTC is much bigger but still it makes no sense to me. Do you have an explanation ? Also am I correct to assume the price of these 2 stocks will move pretty much in line with the price of BTC ? If you had to buy one which would you buy ?
Thanks

Q: Dear 5i,

I have questions about BABY listed on venture exchange.
This appears to be a holding company listed on the venture exchange but, the company resides in Israel. Can you explain why they might have this structure? The company doesn't look like it makes money yet and it seems heavily promotional and they also appear to do a lot of equity issues. Should one be cautious about these stories? It sounds like they have a licensing agreement to sell and existing product already in Israel to the North American market. If one were to invest 2% would you purchase in a NonReg or TFSA account? Please deduct points as required and thanks.
