Q: Re: IPl takeover. I already have a full position in Pembina ,and am ,at this point quite reluctant to trigger any capital gain. In looking at both offers, it seems that the Brookfield offer could be the best for me. Is there anything that I might be missing ? Thank you for your help.

Q: Hi Guys,

These two companies, are quite similar in terms of total market cap, and both are in payment processing sector. are they overlap with each other or serve different industries? Could you help me to understand them? How would you rank them over all, future growth, and risk/reward, respectively. If to buy now, which one to start with? or divide the funds to buy both at the same time. Thanks.

Q: In my self directed margin account I have two calls:
1)50 calls of CPG C 21 JAN22, $3.00 that I paid .61c.
2)75 calls of CPG C 21 JAN 22, $4.00 that I paid .81c.
These calls don't expire till January and I have lots of room in my account to either cover them with margin, or sell another stock to cover, or sell the Calls outright. Of the choices listed, or something I am missing, is there any strategy to maximize my capital gains and/or minimize my taxes owing?
Thank you, Gord

Q: Say the capital gains inclusion rate increase from 50% to 75%. Does that mean it doesn't matter how long you've held the stock when you sell it gains are taxed at 75%? I'm not sure how the last rate changes were implemented but you may recall.

Q: Hey guys - I thought your answer posted on 7/9/21 on your investing philosophy was fantastic and very informative for a new investor. The one piece that I struggle with is not averaging down. If you like ABC at X the price and buy it, and 2 months later it is down 30% without any specific negative business developments, why would you not want to add (aside from a portfolio weighting perspective). MRS is an example of this and to me the price is dropping because people are impatient and want to see a large contract now, however the business risk appears the same today as when I bought it.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

What would be fair value and a good entry point for NBLY? Been looking at getting in since around $22. It has moved up while my attention has been diverted due to work. Seemed to not be super liquid and traded in weird quantities on small volume. Your initial comments on the IPO were to let it settle in. Is it there now?

Thanks for your help.

Q: I have heard that one of the things that is a strong indicator a stock will outperform the market is the initiation of a dividend for the 1st time. I believe it may have been Peter who mentioned this on MarketCall. Parex announced Wednesday evening that they are initiating a dividend for the 1st time. I'm wondering what degree of outperformance you typically see from a company that begins paying a dividend, and how long does that outperformance typically last.
