Q: Hello, 5i Team,

This is a question from a neophyte investor.

In a recent press release BUS announced the acceleration of A & B Convertible Debentures. To quote: "The Debentures will result in the issuance of up to 2,235,294 Common Shares at an issue price of $0.68 per share."

Can you tell me a) why a Company might accelerate the issuance of debentures and, b) just as importantly, how such an issuance, at that price, would impact upon current shareholders and the value of their shares.

Thank you

Q: Please, Peter: Forward earnings for TMB look exceptionally good, ratings, too. TMB is much more than softwood lumber, including a lot of earnings coming from a specialized pulp (prices up, WTO ruled largely in Canada's favour with China in a tariff dispute)yet TMB has traded in a very NARROW range over the last 3 months or so and continues to do so. OK, TMB is a risk because of high debt... but can you explain the reason for the narrow trading range? I'm thinking it might be a big company like Fairfax, somehow able to buy and sell in a way that affects the price in this way but I don't know anything about how to dig further to get an answer to "why this range"?
Can you help?

Q: My only gold holding is McEwen Mining (MUX)and I am looking at either Kirkland Lake (KL) or B2Gold (BTO).
BTO has almost one billion shares outstanding while KL has less than 200M although their respective market caps are close in size. Is this a determining factor and which one would you favour, and why?
MUX was my first choice because the CEO owns 25% of the company, he has a great track record and they have no debt. Good choice?
Thank you.

Q: Hi, could you update your current view on this company? I remain very interested in the VR and AR sector since it seems like it is high growth mode. Last year SEV had a serious set-back with the CEO's untimely death, but it seems like they are finding their footing again. They mentioned recently some important agreements signed and are moving to a larger building. Do you see this as a good time to take a speculative position on it? Or do you see one of the major tech companies (who?) just overtaking the market? If so would SEV be a potential takeover target or just get squeezed out over time? Your perspective on this space is appreciated.

Q: Can you please rank the three pipeline utility companies: IPL, PPL, and ENB. I'm particularly interested to see your thoughts given the PPL/VSN deal and the big drop in PPL's share price.

Thanks!
