Q: Looking at EFN and TFII to deploy new money. EFN has done better the last 6 months and appears more expensive. RBC rates them both outperform. How comparable are their businesses and which one do you consider more attractive at present? Thanks for your help.

Q: Which one (GFL or EFN) would be better for a long term hold with capital preservation and of course some growth in a TFSA account. The funds are coming from ECN special dividend, which I still have a full position in.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
Considering initiating a small position in this stock which is currently down off recent highs around -14% for a 2 year hold.
In your opinion will the EV revolution be a negative/positive/neutral for this stock?
Not withstanding your previous response to Adam on Jan 13-2021, would you be interested at these level?
Thx

Q: In a report dated 4 Jan , RBC Capital says “… Element Fleet is our best idea, and we believe it should be a core holding in any portfolio, as we think the stock offers a blend of growth, defensive attributes and multiple potential positive catalysts.”
I just don't see it and feel I must be missing a LOT. I find EFN just OK. I don’t follow Canadian markets much so checked other reports, and skimmed several analyses. Almost all other analysts seem to be lukewarm on EFN. RBC includes well qualified, experienced, and generally trustworthy fellows.
Please comment on EFN with a focus on future growth. Is its business model robust enough to beat competition?

Q: I have held efn and ecn forever. I should have sold at their highs along with lspd. At this point all three have been beaten very badly. Are the dividends safe (ecn and efn)? What about the core business of fleet? This was supposed to be sticky similar to a utility stock but the stock has certainly not held up. Will the customers go bankrupt and revenues dip? Does ecn have risk of lending default? And how sticky is lightspeed’s business? If their clients (smb retail) go under they have about 100m in the bank. Would that last long enough for a turn around? How do you view the limited insider and institutional ownership? Is this a concern?

Sorry for the many questions feel free to remove additional question credits.
