Q: Hi 5i team,

I have two equal half positions in ATD and DOL and I'm looking to simplify by consolidating into one name. Which option is the best for my RRSP? I would also appreciate some information on why it is the best option.

Best,
Matt

Q: There is so much buzz in media about the Magnificent Seven- the latest grouping that alleges dominance from these mega cap leaders and how 2024 is likely to see them fall from grace at least in momentum rallies, or at least in contrast to others.
Don’t support this assertion, ie is there relative price and growth rate relative to others such that they are due to get leapfrogged, or worse decline? I feel like this same line has been towed for several years and look at five and ten year growth rates for any of these as examples.
If you had some chunk of change would you lean here or elsewhere, say to financials or industrials?

Q: CSU market cap has grown from 55 Billion to 75 Billion over the past three months. Have the companies fundamentals improved enough to justify a 20 billion increase? This would imply transformational developments. This move seems excessive to me and I am trying to understand what is behind it.

Thanks.

Q: You answered Cathy's question about Nutrien on January 12, and I have a similar question. I met someone last week who works for Nutrien, and states that the company is in trouble and starting to sell off some of its businesses in various communities. I am not sure if there is any validity to this statement and curious if your research shows otherwise.

Q: At what price does Laurentian Bank become interesting? Yeah, they've had problems but the dividend is pretty high and a while ago you though it was somewhat secure. It is trading at a ten year low price. Plus, if I have the right book value, we have a bank selling well below book value.

Don Coxe used to like quoting Stein's law which says "that which cannot continue will cease." Any thoughts as to how that might play out for this bank? (sell to somebody or eventual price rise or quietly disappearing...)

Q: 5i you don't have to post this publicly as I don't want to offend anyone or shame people from asking questions. For the first 8mos after LMN was spun out from CSU investors could have bought Lumine for under $21. Now that it's over $30; apparently, it's too late?

CSU went from $20 to $3500 in 15yrs but buying LMN.v at $30 is paying too much. I'm not saying LMN will follow the same trajectory but investors familiar with the CSU story would love to be able to go back in time to buy CSU at $30.

Q: Portfolio Analytics indicates that across our accounts, we are overweight in the Financial Services sector. In order to free up some cash for under=represented sectors, my thinking is to reduce TD enough to achieve the target amount. I'm a bit uneasy with some of the recent negative issues with TD, but still would like to keep some due to its wide moat and 5i's opinion that perhaps its "problems" have been overplayed. Would you concur with my strategy? Thanks.
