Q: The coming US elections are approaching (2020)
The democrats are NOT pro big business and some candidates are voicing their opinions about breaking up and placing regulation on big tech. This could be considered to be just noise however I am old enough to remember the industry break ups of the past. Question: Is it time to exercise a little caution here and await the election outcome or go along with the apparent belief that Google, Amazon etc. are the way of the future with unlimited potential growth?

Q: Hi 5i,
I am looking at adding OSB in my dividend portfolio. I see it is trading around P/E=4.2 with a yield of about 17%. Is yield safe and have they cut yield in the past? Is their debt manageable? Is the low price just due to the current low demand for building products? What sector does OSB fit into? Is their any growth in the future?
Thanks for your views on this company.

Q: Perhaps this is a silly question but I will ask anyway.
I see in a previous answer to a IPAY question that the 5i team considers this ETF to be liquid.
A recent market call guest has now made this ETF a top pick twice and it does intrigue me.
However , the volumes are very low. Many days are fewer than 1000 shares per day and almost always under 5000 shares per day traded. I do not consider these volumes to be liquid.
My question is. Is liquidity on a ETF somehow different than on a individual stock ?
Do you still consider this ETF liquid ?

Q: Hi guys , I saw a recent report that Chw was in the the top ten shorted Cdn stocks with 795000 shares short. This is apparently 8.9 % of the public float. I guess the high percentage is due to insider and other significant holders? What may be the thesis behind the dreaded short sellers position? Is Canada just a target in general? Thanks man

Q: When going through the questions this afternoon, I noticed that I am only viewing 2 questions per page. This was not the case before. Is there a setting for this or is this something new?

You may publish this question if you feel the answer would be helpful to others.
