Q: Hi 5i,

While looking into the stock, I found that it has very high stock based compensation. This seems quite concerning to me. I know you like the stock, so is it something that is justified because of its growth?

TIA

Q: Reading a recent Q and A on MGNI I was reminded of APPS which was once viewed positively. It seems TTD is a winner, MGNI I maybe a rebound candidate and that APPS is just dead? Do you see any potential in this as being a high upside play when rates are lower?

Q: Hi,
Would you have any concerns for CRWD's upcoming earnings report? Given that PANW got hit fairly hard after their recent earnings, I am wondering if we might see something similar on CRWD, and whether or not today's drop is a bit of a heads' up something is about the change? Any thoughts you can offer would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Dawn

Q: Hi there, what economic data points are being released next week, and the week after?

Which one of those data points listed do you believe will move the markets (+/-) over the next few weeks?

History dictates that markets are generally positive during the month of March, anything to be concerned about this March? Your thoughts on (forward looking) how you believe this month will unfold?

Thanks!

Q: What are your thoughts on SGR.UN's recent earnings, during the call management indicated that their rents are well below market rates, which provides upside potential as those rents are renegotiated. The payout ratio is high, however, if rents can be increased the payout ratio would fall. Would you be fine holding it here, or is it time to move on to something with a safer dividend? If so what income stock would you recommend replacing it with?

Q: Thoughts on the Canadian Banking sector and specifically CIBC. Seems like the banks are fairly 'flexible' in what they choose to include in there Adjusted Earnings.

Generally Loan Loss provisions have increased? That would seem to suggest they seem storm clouds on the horizon -Mortgage debt renewal pulling money out of the economy is obvious headwind. Were they bailed out by strong capital markets?

Q: Hi All,

I have a really nice gain shorter term gain on LLY thanks to your recommendation of 125% which is down a little from the high.
Is LLY on the over valued side now and starting to correct? Should I sell it and move into another Healthcare name and if so I'd love a few recommendations. I already own a partial position in UNH and ABBV. I see UNH has dropped and may have some issues with the government should they be stayed away from for now? Thanks for your service.

Q: Shak and IOT have been recommended on US networks. How would you categorize them up against Trade Desk?

I was thinking back of when I joined 5i at the beginning because of being a mutual fund person and seeing the Sprott Growth Funds managed by Peter as being one of the top mutual funds. When I went to the Money Show I was talking to Peter and I was asking questions that now I would have never asked him due to the knowledge I have gained from 5i. I still ask difficult questions but some of the things I asked in those days are now not difficult for me due to the knowledge gained as a result of being a long member of 5i. Thanks so much.

Q: Hi Peter and 5iresearch
In my recent question about investing in basic materials I mentioned in my question XBM. In your response your comment was on XLB SPDR fund. Just want to be clear that you meant to recommend XLB SPDR fund and not XBM.

What do you think of XBM?
Thank you
