Q: Questor is holding up better today than i thought it would. As it does a large part of its business in U.S. shale in your opinion or best guess how badly is it going to be negatively impacted. Once this all settles down i would think it will pick up again as i don't see the green clean energy movement subsiding any time soon.
Thanks

Q: Is KEY being punished for its infrastructure expansion? I understand that natural gas has been weaker lately, but I thought that KEY's business model provided some degree of insulation from commodity prices (and, particularly, oil market dynamics.)

Q: Questions on Canadian Tire:
Does 5i feel CTC's Finance arm's lending criteria exposes it to significant losses (and a surprise to the market) in the current environment? Based on your view of the lending side of the business, does 5i feel the Finance arm supports or detracts from an investment in Canadian Tire at this time?
Finally, how strong does 5i view CTC's web presence, and its competitive position digitally versus strong competitors like Amazon?
Thank you

Q: I am trying to understand how a payroll tax cut rumour can spark a potential bounce in the market and if a big bounce (should it happen) is just an artificial bounce or something to take seriously? To me it would seem that coronavirus is only just beginning to be felt in North America and that rate cuts and tax cuts can't change the impact of fear and potential shut downs. My question is do you think the market has fully priced in the impact of coronavirus on the economy or has it just reacted to the headlines with another probable leg down when earnings are dented?
