Q: Which preferred share ETF would you recommend among these four: HPR, ZPR, CPD, and ZUP, and is this sector worth investing in. It pays a nice dividend but the invested capital tends to get depreciated. Is now a good time to put money in this sector?

Q: Now that the sale of the Kansas City Southern Railroad is confirmed, what share movement (up or down) do you anticipate in the shares of the Cpr and the CNR?

Q: Balanced Equity Portfolio (Cdn & US Stocks): If 5i were just starting business today what 20 stocks would make up the portfolio?

Q: Couple days back there was a question regarding VPT. It was stated that there was inside buying, you did not answer how much buying took place. Also, in your answer I was left with the impression that VPT, makes medical equipment, but when I was listening to Robert Mcwhirter, on BNN, I was left with impression that VPT had software that they were going to adopt to GE ultra-sound equipment. So, if you could explain this discrepancy between these two scenario, I would greatly appreciate it. If it turns out that VPT makes medical equipment, what other companies are in this same space.

Question #2 - I bought HNU is the $16.00 range, and now it is up In the $22.00 range. Do you feel it has run its course or is there more upside in the near future. I guess the question would be is it a hold or sell.

Q: Hi 5i team,

In your last updated report on Spin Master (TOY) you had indicated....OCT 13, 2020 - The company still shows long-term promise but management has missed on estimates more frequently than we would like. Meanwhile, margins have been deteriorating over the last two years. Rating downgraded to 'B'.
At that time you had downgraded the stock.
Have the margins improved over the last several quarters since this report to change/improve your view? Was there any management change since then to improve things, ie less missed forecasts?
There are some potential catalysts upcoming (Paw Patrol movie release, holiday season shopping, some toy news articles are pegging Peek-a Roo as the 'It' toy to buy this year (similar to Hatchimals toy of the year), etc,).
Could this be enough to get this stock back to its' glory days coupled with improving margins? Is the stock fairly valued these days or on the cheaper side?
(Motley Fool site has been mentioning this stock several times in the last month.)
I held this stock a few years ago and did well with it. Perhaps time to buy again?

Cheers,
Steve

Q: While I am partial to PYPL, I would like a second opinion from you on these fintechs. Please rank them as the most suitable one for a buy and hold for a long term in a RESP account. Thanks.

Q: Seems like a turnaround at Wildbrain with the earnings out last night. Still a lot of debt but reducing. Lots of streaming on Netflix, Apple TV. Conference in October in New York. Stock is up this morning. I know they were for sale a few years ago with no buyers, but it appears to be a little different story right now. Disney poached the VP of animation? Do you see the possibility of a sale on the horizon from netflix, apple, disney or some other streaming company?
