Q: Over the last 2 years, I lost quite a lot of money investing in a promotional companies, or, companies with growth profiles too good to be true. On the other hand, I always made money investing in a company that meets all the following criterias: (1) boring (2) sells products I use (3) existed for 5 years (4) pays a dividend under 4%. Jean-Coutu meets passes this test so I'm considering it my father's portfolio. Is there something *not* to like about it? How about the latest news on the government meddling with drug generics pricing. This this take a positive turn? Thank you!

Q: Regarding VSN (Veresen) being bought by Pembina (PPL), some are suggesting this might put Enbridge in an untenable position (50% of Alliance!), and they will/should/could make a competing bid, particularly as the premium for VSN is still below what it was trading for a year or two back (as high as $19.40 in 2015, although they have sold assets since). Do you see this as a likely possibility? Is that what is causing VSN to trade below its takeout price?

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: Hi Team,
Just wondering your thoughts on the company today. I read comments from a few years ago and it looked like you liked the company at that time. Would you be a buyer? If so, short or long term.

Q: This company trades on the NYSE but is headquartered in Canada. It has been a disappointment for shareholders, especially after it shifted its business model a couple of years ago.

Q: Trivago with its ubiquitous advertising is up 53% this year yet not one question has been asked in 5i and articles are even scant in seeking alpha. Acknowledging that it's a U.S. company with a 3 digit forward PE do you have any perspectives on it at this time?
Thanks!

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"?

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.
