Q: Hello 5i team, hold Gilden in a registered act. & added more recently. Longer term hold but becoming concerned about Gilden ability to ride out prolonged recession & low product demand....

Q: Hi Ryan and Peter.
BIIB was beat hard lately. I want to buy a couple of big names in Health care and am wondering whether this is a good timing. I am watching REGN, VEEV, ABBV, GILD too. I only have cash for one stock only.

Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: I was reading an article regarding Dream Industrial, and the author indicated that DIR.UN was a likely take-over/buy-out target for Blackstone (past relationship), also, as they have said that they are "trying to meet a growing demand for e-commerce". Would you consider this a likely/probable outcome?

Q: I am wondering if there is a concern about liquidity when purchasing an ETF with just over $100 m in AUM and an average volume of 74,000. If I purchased 1,000 units, would there be any problem when trying to sell.....one of seventy four seems to me to be a potential issue. On the other hand, the underlying equities in the ETF have very large volumes; does that mitigate any potential issue? Yes, there is one ETF I have in mind but this might apply more generally, so I leave it this way. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: First off thanks you Peter and the 5i Team for the great guidance during this roller coaster market. If not for 5i I might have panic sold out of stocks instead of small buys late March.

My portfolio mimics for the most part your Balanced Portfolio. To help me do so, what percent allocation ranges would you use to put the stocks into 3 (or 4) buckets of high / medium / low / (very low) conviction. This would help me compare allocation with a +/- tolerance. Feel free to add or reduce the number of buckets as appropriate.

Thanks again,
Angelo

Q: Hello, in the June issue of Canadian Money Saver, there is a section of an article on “pooled funds” by B. Stewart that says: “Depending on the prevailing tax law and your level of wealth, you would be subject to paying (possibly sizeable!) US estate tax if you were holding individual US securities at the time of death.” I know you are not tax experts, but what is the level of wealth she is referring to? Does that apply to all Canadian investors who hold individual US stocks in their cash account at the time of death? Thanks, Gervais

Q: I'm curious what your favourite emerging market companies are right now (that can be bought on a US exchange). I currently own MELI and am looking for some other ideas in the tech space. Or can you suggest an etf?

Thanks

Q: Can you please give me your thoughts on FSLY. It was on the news
" Fastly could be the biggest winner from Shopify Deal with Walmart."

Do you agree with the above news? If yes WHY
I hold 2% and it is already up 50% in less than a month. Is it still a buy, sell, or hold.
According to you who would be the biggest winner between Shopify and Walmart Deal.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

VMD now represents 11.6% of my portfolio with a gain of over 70%.

I am asking if I should take some off the table and if so, how much and what other growth equity you might suggest I reinvest in? Maybe a company lagging the recovery? Preferably a low debt option.

Presently I hold AW.UN ATZ BNS BYD CAE CCL.B GSY LSPD MMX NNO PTQ TD WELL
& TOU TCW & WCP (3 fairly new positions)

Thanks for all your do

Gord

ps... I missed on KXS after taking profits pre-collapse and never re-entered a position

Q: Any idea when one can find the official closing price of an ounce of gold in Canadian dollars? Is the Comex closing price the official one? Is that at 1330 ET? Thanks.
