Q: Hi 5i,
People on social media (myself included) are trying to understand why there is such a high short position for AUPH, best guess is around 12mm. Also, there is confusion regarding the growing institutional holding of around 45% (best guess), are they taking shares from retail. Further, no one seems to fully understand the implications of the options traded (puts and calls). Can you help clarify, is it possible to read anything into these activities?
Many Thanks,

Q: I would like your opinion on BLX. I especially like the cash flow that BLX generates. Thank you in advance.
Q: In your response this morning you stated: "we think adding a bit of unhedged exposure (VUN) is still worthwhile from a diversification perspective." Does this mean you are recommending the hedged ETF as the largest purchase? I understood from your past responses that for long term investments you favour unhedged ETFs.
Q: Regarding the recent question on Brookfield renewable, it is a TSX-listed company and the distributions are treated as Canadian rather than American for tax treatment.
Q: hi guys whats your opinion of scl dropping to 29.50 is this good value now
Q: 5i Team,
How similar are these 2 companies? I have 2.5% positions in both (at a healthy profit - thank you).
Should I sell one? I own DSG in a cash account at +100% - hence have to pay cap gains, and KXS in my TFSA. I know KXS is a top pick of yours..
I'm fine with risk.

Q: Thanks for your response to my recent question. I understand some of the short term issues re share performance but I wonder about the Spectra purchase long term. Is the acquisition accretive and the debt load manageable longer term to continue to make ENB an attractive investment?
