Q: Hi 5i
I've held EQB for quite a while now and I'm nicely ahead, in a registered account.
I wonder though if it's reaching its peak based on its fundamentals, or if it might still gain meaningfully if and when interest rates start to decline?
The dividend is relatively minor and if notable capital appreciation isn't reasonably in the cards, I don't know that it makes sense for me to hold on any longer.
Can you give me your opinion as to what the next year or two might hold for EQB, as and if rates decline.
Thanks 5i, much appreciated.
Peter

Q: I need to raise some funds and am looking at selling a position in DIR.UN. I have read the past questions and overall you are fairly positive about it, if one is patient. I probably will not be in this for the long term....though not your usual way to look at stocks, would you be able to do some technical analysis to get some idea whether this will bounce back from its recent downturn, at least a bit, in the next month or two?

Thanks much for your excellent service.

Q: What do you think about BDT's prospects in the upcoming Canadian economic landscape?

Their shareholder material suggests they're exposed to renewable and green energy infrastructure projects, extractive sectors like mining (critical minerals), as well as the constant talk about needing to build more homes all seem like tailwinds. I also like the emphasis on health and safety of their workforce which suggests a healthy and mature management team.

From a financial POV they seem to tick a lot of boxes too. Good historical ROE growth, heathy debt levels, a healthy/diversified backlog, growing forward EPS, and approaching $1B in market cap.

What do you think about BDT's prospects?
What's the bear case for BDT?

Q: Hello, Nice call on VRT !!! Despite the last quarter's miss, stock continued to be strongly supported by 5i and now it blew past Earnings and Guidance !! So, now, do you expect a similar performance from CLS, after close Today ? If yes, at what levels, it would make sense to add to these two companies ? We have a 1% and 1.75% position in VRT and CLS, respectively. Thank You
