Q: Four members of Bell Canada’s board of directors took advantage of the telecom giant’s stock drop to buy shares. CEO Mirko Bibic purchased shares worth just over $200,000, while Louis Vachon, former CEO of National Bank, acquired shares worth nearly $390,000. Calin Rovinescu, former CEO of Air Canada, invested close to $350,000, and Jennifer Tory, a former vice-president at RBC, over $170,000.. They must see future potential gains in the share price since the only reason to buy shares of a company is to make gains.

Q: It seems like all tech companies use a lot of of stock based compensation to recruit/retain/reward employees? the way I understand it, if a company reports NON-gaap earnings it does not include stock based compensation but gaap earnings do? Is that correct? Can you briefly explain the impact of SBC on an income statement to a non-accountant or if it is too length direct us DYIers to a website that explains this well. I feel it is something us little investors should have more knowledge and understanding.

Q: Has 5i screened for US-listed shares that are likely to be candidates for tax-loss selling now to end of year 2024? Has 5i done a blog or magazine article or other post identifying US-companies that you would consider attractive to buy? I assume that such a screen would exclude US companies that are being sold off for reasons other than tax-loss harvesting. Thank you. :ao:sab

Q: Hi There,

Could you please comment on the differences between these 2 companies including software product/services, revenue and profit growth going forward, acquisition strategies, overall valuation.

Is it prudent to own both for growth in a diversified portfolio or too much overlap?

Ok thanks so much!
