Q: Andrew on Jan. 19 asked about over the counter stocks in a TFSA. I recently did this calling iTrade (1 1/2 hour wait time) about IFC being moved to the US side - IFCZ - otc (same company) and the broker said since it is a Canadian stock I could hold it in a TFSA and it would fine -- which I did do. Shortly will sell it and acquire US cash.
Q: Is the IFC drops in the last few days attributed to the proposed acquisition? What is your view on this deal? Thanks.
Q: Could you please provide an update based on latest quarter and announced acquisition. I am thinking of making an initial investment in my RRSP.

Q: Great Clips Hair salons are filing a class action suit for COVID 19 related business interruption coverage denied by IFC. Do you think Great Clips have a case? If they do, what will be the ramifications for IFC considering that other business such as restaurants, hotels etc might follow?
Q: Dear 5i Team,
Can you help me understand why Intact trades at such a multiple of book value when compared to other strong P&C / specialty insurers like Allstate which also have a long track record? Is it worth that premium?
Thanks!
Derek

Q: Hello 5i Team
Comparing Fairfax Financial and Intact Financial, both in the Property & Casualty Insurance sub-industry (TMX data), which is the better choice? FFH seems to always in the news about its other investments rather than its insurance business, whereas IFC appears to be solid in its insurance operations
According to a recent Globe & Mail article, IFC could be a potential acquirer of smaller P&C insurance companies, would this also apply to FFH or is FFH more interested in its other investments?
Trisura Group is listed as Specialty Insurance sector. Is it comparable to FFH and IFC, noting its market capitalization is only $380M compared to $12B / $18B for FFH/IFC?
Thanks

Q: I have POW in my TFSA and though it lacks any growth the dividend yield is ok. Wondering if I should think about a switch to IFC to get a bit more growth, though that will reduce the dividend.
