Q: This ETF has been recommended as a primary holding by a financial advisor. I see that it pays a small dividend. Do you know if there would be an annual capital gain/loss even if a person continues to hold? What are your comments (good and bad) about having this as part of their portfolio?

Q: I unfortunately bought dcbo last week. Were earnings and forecast bag enough for the big drop? Thoughts going forward? I'm OK moving on if thesis had changed.

Q: Just read the earnings report for ECN . Looks like they had earning of zero per share which the market appears to like .... Could 5i give an analysis and opinion on the two businesses and thoughts for a catalyst going forward ? Also comment on the management changes. I believe management was a large part of the company's original attraction . I also received the " Management Information Circular " in the mail which has comments on the strategic review. It mentions someone called " Skyline " . Could 5i explain who they are,what they do, and translate the explanation of the strategic review from " Business gobbleygook " to " Business for dumbies " so I understand it and what you think of the results of the review ? ..... Thanks for your always sound analysis ..... Garth

Q: Two questions. #1: Nuvei will be sold and go private. Shareholders will get $34.00 U.S. approx $ 46.90 Canadian today. Is it best to sell now or wait for the transaction to go through ?
#2 : HPS.A was moving along just fine and has recently gone down dramatically. Why ?

Q: Hello 5i Team

Are publicly traded companies responsible for preparing the transcripts of quarterly earnings call and/or annual meetings? If not who prepares them?

I have noticed some companies post them on their website and others do not.

I have seen some third party websites post transcripts, but it is often hit and miss

Do you have any recommended web sites for transcripts?

Does your data provided offer this service and could it be incorporated into the data you provide for companies?

Thank you

Q: I had purchased this in a Canadian TFSA. Just reviewing my investments and I must have asked for this to be transferred to the US TFSA due to dividends being paid in US currency. However, the cost is listed as the Canadian amount! No wonder it's showing I'm underwater. but I don't think it correct. Have you or your readers come across this problem before?

Q: Is there any particular reason why banks (eg. BNS, TD, RY, etc) won't enter the same "non-traditional lending" market as GSY or PRL? Seems like regular banks have all the infrastructure for it and it sounds like there is money to be made. Do you think this would ever be a possibility in the future?

Q: What are details about RSI.DB.E? Would you recommend holding for income? Will it mature on 31/12/2024?

Q: I have partial position in DCBO:CA. Would you add at this time?

Q: Hi folks,

I hold VI but I know you prefer the unhedged version, VIU. For me to make that change, would I just sell my VI and buy VIU on the same day as I'm sure they won't move much intraday. It's in my RRSP so no tax issues.

Thanks
Robert

Q: Good afternoon,

SLF - the market does not seem to like their quarterly results.

Thoughts on the quarter, and hold/sell/buy here with the -5+% move today?

Q: For the last 10 years, SLF has been the better stock to own. Since December 2023, MFC has been better. In their most recent earnings MFC beat and SLF missed. MFC's PE is a little higher, dividends are about the same, SLF has better ROE, MFC has a much better profit margin. If buying one of them today, which do you think is better going forward? Or with the chance interest rates will be coming down in the next year would it be better to buy a bank instead?
