Q: Hello 5i team,
Please remind me of your rationale for exiting FM last year. With the current sector rotation to economically sensitive stocks, are you thinking in getting back into the sector? If so, which would you choose among the base metals stocks?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Two part question:
1. Do the large US banks have more room to run or is the expected rate increase pretty much baked in?
2. To buy BAC and C I have to move $Cdn cash to my US$ accnt. Currency conversion can impact outcome. At 75c the $Cdn is up a bit. Should I buy now before the likely US interest rate increase? Or(2A) wait for a possible softening in the market around year end/ new year? Thanks for answering - but more importantly for your integrity, which was on display recently in your answer to the Forge First question.

Q: Why is Mettrum trading so far below the price that Canopy has offered? Are investors speculating that the deal will fall through? If so, what would be the reasons? I can't imagine there are competition issues to be concerned about at this point...

Q: One third of my non sheltered account consists of shares in ATD.B, CCL.B, CSU, and SJ. In the last month the TSX is up about 3+%. In the same period these stocks are all down (13%, 5%, 6% and 8%). The only common thread I can see is that I own them. Do you have any insights that explains the not inconsiderable under performance of the share prices of these stocks in the last month?
