Q: In reviewing the XBC 2020 year end financial call, a few things jumped out during the Q & A that I would like to hear you opinion on. (1) CEO Kurt Sorschak said he would be buying shares the following day at this depressed price. However I can't see any insider transactions according to Yahoo finance. Is there a lag time on that info being released or would he maybe not have followed through? (2) Someone asked them to comment on the departure of COO Prabhu Rao and there was essentially no response or additional information given, which would make me believe there is more to it. Is that a concern?
Thanks for the great service

Q: Hi 5i,
I want to increase my exposure to international equity through ETF. Assuming the Canadian dollar gains further strength against USD, should I buy ETFs in CND or in USD (assuming a similar ETF is available in both currencies)? Thank you for your guidance in advance!

Q: PINS where it is today; TWAIWAN SEMI-CONDUCTORS where it is today;
3 months from where they are today - which one will be higher? Second time around with PINS it was a pick on Market Call a couple of years ago and so I am thinking of taking the loss again and moving on. Answering this question will provide me guidance. I notice a lot of stocks have a big pop after earnings and then give it all back (eg. SHOP). What is your take on this? Relying on your good advice.

Q: I own GSY on your recommendation. I also own ZEB for simple exposure to all the Canadian banks. I'm interested in finding other niche opportunities in the financial space, whether on the income side or the growth side (or blended). Someone mentioned Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corp (FC) for income, recognizing this also entails some real estate exposure. What is your view of FC, and what other suggestions would you have? Thanks.

"Choice Properties had a net loss of for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to net income of in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to an unfavorable change of in the adjustment to the fair value on the Exchangeable Units, partially offset by a favorable change in the fair value of investment properties, including properties held within equity accounted joint ventures."
I do not understand the Exchangeable Units. Will you please explain what the Exchangeable Units and what they mean?
Thanks as always for your valuable information.

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on Altagas. Had a good quarterly report today with beats on utility and midstream businesses, but fairly tepid analyst outlook. It pays a good dividend and I wonder if you feel there is some growth expected as well. Also, would you categorize as utility or energy?
Thanks for your advice, and thanks so much for your past recommendations from which I've benefited including WSP, GSY, TFII, AQN to name but a few.
