Q: What is the reason for CCL's anaemic performance over the last 4-5 years? What is your outlook on the company? How would you you view a switch to RPI or IFX in today's market environment?
Thanks

Q: Don’s question of October 7 asked about Canadian vs. US dollars and whether to buy a stock on the TSX or NASDAQ. While many investors are confused on this point, Don should understand that once he buys the stock (on either the TSX or any US exchange) the future performances of the Canadian and US dollars have no effect on the actual value of his gains or losses. In other words (and for doubters), if you were to decide to split your purchase and buy half the shares in Cdn on the TSX and half in USD on a US exchange, each half of your shareholding will worth exactly the same thing regardless of any future movements in the value of the respective currencies.)

Q: Voluntary lock-ups - Why would early stage investors or VCs, voluntarily extend lock-ups periods in pre-ipo or early ipo-ed companies?

Would they typically receive warrants in exchange for this restriction in liquidity?

Is the motivation by the company to prevent sales of large blocks since they are anticipating a rapid rise or fall in share price?

I know this is hypothetical, but trying to understand the concept/reasoning.

Thanks!

Q: I have be holding Carebook stock for over six months. The stock dipped over the past week and bit from 79 cents to 60 cents, but I cannot seem to find a driver for the news. Am I missing something? Is it a good time to buy more? iA Capital Markets just put a 'Buy' recommendation on it with a $1.60 target due to some new acquisition and other moves, but the stock has been tanking. Again, what am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Q: What are your thoughts on the recent Canadian Depositary Receipts that are now being made available through CIBC. Seems like an excellent means of gaining exposure to the large u.s. caps for the average diy investor. Any thoughts as to when other sources than CIBC will come into play.

Thanks

Q: As retirees with moderate risk tolerance, Telus is a 4% core holding in a mainly conservative dividend portfolio. We realize (and like) that Telus Health is a small part of the company. We are considering a 1% position in Well for diversification in Health sector, and would appreciate your thoughts on it. Is this an opportune time to buy, or does 5i expect tax loss selling to put more downward pressure as year-end approaches? Thank you. Edward

Q: Hello team,

Which one would you add to at this point, and why? They are both very tiny positions but equally down from the time of purchase a year ago. I appreciate it if you can reflect on their financial situation right now, and say which one you expect to grow better. I am a moderate-to-high-risk-buy-and-hold investor. So, I love growthy stocks.

Thank you for your impeccable support.
