Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

When a member asks, for example, what are your top five picks...., but doesn't ask 5i to rank them, are they ranked in your answer? I notice that in your answers, the stocks aren't in alphabetical order, so does that imply that you've ranked them?

Thanks for clarifying this.

Q: I own ECN Senior Unsecured 6% Debentures maturing on Dec. 31, 2025. They are currently trading at 84 cents on the dollar, corresponding to an annualized Yield-to-Maturity of about 18%. I am concerned that this extremely high yield indicates serious doubts as to their ability to repay this debt (in cash). What is your opinion as to the viability of ECN?

Q: Dear Peter et al:

You can call me a "Nervous Nellie" if you want (!) but I am older than you and know that sometimes the story like TD to play out can take a looong time!

If one is sitting in a small loss position in TD, worth switching to another bank like RY or BNS? Or move into a riskier stock like GSY or an insurance co like SLF? I know it is comparing Apples VS Oranges. Nothing against TD. I am sure it will bounce back. But I can "see" it moving sideways for a while. Just an old man's opinion.

Q: My question is about the increase capital gains tax.

Assume a corporate account has a
$100,000 capital gain on 3 stocks at this time.
Would one be better off selling and buying those back before the June deadline and saving an estimated $6,000 or just staying put and let the stocks grow and pay the increased tax at a later date when sold.?

I realize their are many assumptions but I'm interesting in a general opinion on a hypothetical scenario.

Q: Hi Team,
In reference to a Gsy question answered today you were asked “how high can Gsy share price go? “. An open ended question with no time frame. You answered $250. Is that this years target? Or next years ? As a general rule can it be assumed that a company share price should follow the earnings growth over time? In which case Gsy should be a $1000 stock within 7-8 yrs roughly with today’s earnings growth rate compounded, for example .

Thanks,
Shane
