Q: Hi 5i,
Lumentum Holding did not report great quartly result, but the stock rebounded strongly after that.

What is your thought on the future of this company?

I held this stock at a 20% loss, small position, I know you do not like average down, but in view of the momentum of the stock, would you think it is time to add a little more to a reasonable weighting?

Thank you for your great service as always.

Q: Guys - if you had to pick one of these for an RSP which is your favorite for capital appreciation over a 10 year timeline? Would you hold a 5% weighting? If not, what percentage? I have a good tolerance to risk.

Thanks,
Greg.

Q: In response to my question on 22 Feb you stated: "As far as corporate structure goes, CSH is the only 'official' REIT of this group." I should have been more clear in asking my question - I would like to know if FSV and CIGI can be considered to be part of my REIT sector allocation. Also, you stated " We like IIP.UN and CAR.UN for growth, but they cannot be considered cheap. DRG.UN has a better valuation with still decent potential." Are you using P/E as the yardstick for determining the valuation/cheapness of a REIT - I note that P/E for DRG.UN is 4.4 on TD website.

Q: I own a lot of Celestica as a value stock but closer to $16. The stock moves every day higher and keeps closing at higher highs. 5i removed it from the portfolio due to a low weighing. Do you think Onex may be looking at selling or is it that finally earnings will start improving. Would it make a good takeover for a company and if so who may be interested.

Q: hi 5i team,

As a follow on to Joseph's question re high ROE companies (asked on February 22, 2019)...can you comment on Cott Corp (BCB) (was in the list of companies) recent results and on the company overall? I ask as their ROE number is 38 which seems pretty good. How are their other financial metrics?
Would you consider this now a growth company (given last years asset sales) or simply an income oriented company?
If you were to rate it, would it be a 'B' type company?

Thanks!
Steve
