Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i team,
I was wondering if you listened in on the phone conference with knight therapeutics? If so, is there anything they plan on doing that would move the stock in the coming year?

Are you still doing reports on GUD in the future?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: I tend to hold either 3% or 5% positions in companies I own. If you were to own the above companies, which ones would you be inclined to own at a 3% level and which ones at a 5% level? If you would not be inclined to hold one or more of these companies at all, please indicate.
Thanks for a great service and have a well deserved weekend break. ram

Q: Have stayed clear of this name, but the lifeline from Fairfax is of interest, largely as I think they are smarter than I am. I realize it’s debt, so my question is what would you like to see before you would even consider a nibble? Sales growth, profit growth, both? Or it is so small the risk label not likely to make it attractive at any point?

Q: Syz.,what is happening here?This company is totally out of favor.
What is the market telling us?
They aren't earning enough to pay the dividend.And really, why is a growth company even paying a dividend? That doesn't make much sense.
Please can you shine some light on this.As well as Cliq,what is the story here?Its very confusing to me

Q: syz is now at year low. 5i says this is a good growth stock. can you explain why you feel this way and why it continues to drop. at what point is it a buy? I'm tempted to buy but have thoughts this could become another wilan or knight, lots of potential only on paper.

Q: Do you know what the cost basis of the spin out of TOI from CSU last year . Thanks

Q: hey guys hope all is well .in the current market with all the uncertainty would it be better to have an industrial reit or a residential reit or no reits at all if so do you have a favorite

Q: As concerns ZWC vs ZEB: I had assumed that the former's high return-of-capital component were accounting-speak for capital gains from the sale of covered calls - essentially, a way to defer capital gains taxes until the position were closed. So what's not to like about deferring capital gains taxes, particularly for an stable, NAV-appreciating, income-oriented instrument like ZWC, which we would expect to hold for a long time? I.e., what am I missing about why lower return-of-capital should be 'better' - or, more generally, is there a threshold above which high return-of-capital creates some sort of weird risk?

Q: I only have two non dividend stocks and invest for income mostly. Retired. Down on both FAT and TLO. What is your view on these two companies and /or should I just be patient?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

PRMW had a big run up for about a week a couple of months back and has been down since.......how do you feel about capital appreciation on it versus PLC going forward.

Thanks for all you do

Q: I have recently came across $30k unexpectedly from a former employer and was pleasantly surprised. It is currently in an mutual and it would not through my weightings out of balance. I have a well diversified and weighted portfolio with your quality names such as TD, BNS, VET, ENB, TOI, BAM, LSPD, AEM, ATZ, TRUL etc... If I was to move it from the fund to an equity only to set and forget(again) for 15 years what would you chose. At least your top 3. thx.

Q: I have a large position n nvda and think I should try to pair it down but it is very difficult to find fault with it going fwd. qcom is in a reasonable position. My question what would u suggest to replace a portion of nvda should I decide to sell some. Thanks as always.0

Q: AC is about 1.5% of my Portfolio and CAE is less than 1%. I have been reviewing and consolidating in my Portfolio of stocks/ETF and would appreciate your opinion regarding action to take with these two stocks. Is there more potential with CAE and would it be more profitable to move AC stock funds in to CAE? My other industrial stock is WSP and with Portfolio Analytics I am 2.5% above the suggested allocation for Industrials.I am willing to maintain this weighing in Industrials ; however, I would be interested in hearing suggestion of alternative stock choices (regardless of sector) at this time? Thank you for your assistance.

Q: Hi, looking to start one or two Canadian based etf. Retired, no investment out of Canada. I think I should have some. Would like monthly income, 4%+ ,moderate risk, some growth if possible.
I think Cyh is the only one with a little growth?
Could you suggest two etf’s you prefer, or suggest two from above you might have confidence in.
Thanks

Q: Could you explain why, you would or would not, add to a partial position in Revolve, now, as a reopening play?

Q: Hello Peter and team,
I hold TSLA in my TFSA. The company has announced that it will do another stock split via stock dividend. Do most companies issues splits via stock dividends? I was wondering if the stock split via stock dividends has any impact on TFSAs other than having additional shares. Thanks very much.

Q: What is your comments on likes of BLX-T NPI-T not doing anything...With there wind exposure in Europe...

Q: Hi 5i Team, and with income tax season upon us, if a mutual fund company chooses at their convenience to consolidate their (Dividend) Fund A into their (Dividend) Fund B going forward, does it create a reportable taxable capital gain for the holders of Fund A? In this case, the statements show Fund A as a "redemption" (for the fund that is being closed at their convenience) and Fund B as a "purchase" (for the larger fund that is going forward), on the identical trade date (i.e., there is no order date and no later settlement date, but the redemption and purchase occur on the same calendar date as in a substitution of fund products). In this case Fund Company A was acquired by Fund Company B, and presumably the funds overlapped, and the mutual fund company chose to consolidate the two overlapping funds into one larger fund going forward . Since this was initiated at the convenience of the mutual fund company and with no action initiated on the part of the taxpayer, and essentially the product that the taxpayer is holding is unchanged (i.e, Dividend Fund A replaced with Dividend Fund B from the same mutual fund company), would this be a reportable capital gain, or otherwise the taxpayer within their right to choose not to report in the year 2021 taxation year and retain the ACB of Fund A and declare the capital gain when Fund B is sold? It does appear on the T5008 form issued by the brokerage. Thanks to all your Team from an appreciative member.

Q: Good morning, since Nutrien is a cyclical stock, at what stage would you say they are these days, eg. In a baseball game, which inning would you say they are in, thanks?
