Q: I was intrigued by your recent response to a question about SHOP (Good time to get back into it). Response was .. "There is always risk, but the company presented at a conference last week and management noted there has been 'almost no' pushback from customers from its recent price increase, and that business conditions are 'better than previously feared'. We would be comfortable owning it. "

I view the information as positive for SHOP as you did as well. If the question was never asked, this bit of news would be silent to us. Obviously 5i was aware of the news. Is there any way this type of information could be made available to clients as it becomes known? Or do we need to fall into the regular pattern of asking questions on favourite stock holdings if there is any recent news on companies. Is there a source where we can access this type of news?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I was thinking of taking advantage of this SVB fiasco by adding to my BNS shares.

I mainly hold BNS for income and was wondering what was the payout ratio at this time? Has the ratio increased over the past few years (BNS shares declined ~30% from its all-time-highs in the past year)? How comfortable are you in adding for income purposes?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: In some interesting reading sent to my inbox by 5i, one of the articles by Joe Wiggins talked about long or short term investing and I see by the bar graph, if you are a one year investor it was a 55% return and if you left the investment for 10 years, it would be a 15% return. From what I see, it looks like you are better off being short term. Maybe you can interpret this better than I. There was a lot of heavy reading involved. Thank you,

Q: I really like the look of this company's juicey dividend,but i am concerned about the trend of all the doctor's (mine included)even though the pandemic for the most part completely over they are still doing a lot of telephone appointments, and the need for office and clinic's i would think can only decline going forward in our digital world.
Maybe i am overthinking this but this, looks like a good entry point, your thoughts would this be a buy for a2-3 year hold,,,Thanks

Q: Non registered account : I sold a majority of stocks in 2022-2023 in order to convert them into a diversified dividend ETFs portfolio.I though intend to only keep" safe stocks for long term".Please could you rank them in this "safety perspective" , a "hold,buy, or sell" comment would be greatly appreciated,considering the fact that in this case,selling a stock would result in "buying an ETF in the same sector" .Many Thanks for your excellent website ,J-Y
