Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have owned BBY for a few years now and it has done reasonably well. Curious on your long term view for the company and if you would continue to hold or switch to another name with a similar dividend. Currently have a position in Costco, HD, AMZN, PBH, ATD.B and MG for consumer names.

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i team. I’m trying to decide on investing in KL or ABX for a bit of gold exposure. Could you give me your thoughts and feedback on their current state and future outlook to compare? Would these be good choices or do you recommend/prefer others in this group? Why? And could you rank them in order of strength in their ability to produce profits moving forward.

Q: Hi. I have held Fiera Capital for a number of years now. I note that you have considered this to be a dividend growth company in a response to Herbert on 06 Apr. My records show there has not been a dividend increase (.21 a share quarterly) since 19 June 2019. Am I missing something? Are you anticipating company growth and therefore dividend growth?
Thanks always

Q: I made the mistake of buying 200 shares of Ballard @$46.50 a couple of months ago just before it commenced its early-February fall from an all-time high. At the current price (~$30), I am tempted to double down with another 200 shares to bring my avg share price cost to ~$38, representing about 4% of my portfolio, a level with which I am comfortable. Am I nuts, or is BLDP poised to reward my faith and patience over the medium term (5 years)?

Thanks for your insights!

Q: Who answers the questions?
How many different people are involved?
What are their qualifications?
I ask because the answers seem to range from very specific to the kind of answer you’d expect from a politician.
When a member asks to have stocks ranked would they get different answers depending on who is answering the question?
Oh yeah and what is the purpose of the little heart next to the question?

Q: Hi
I smile at the moaning and dripping about stocks like XBC and MRS.
Bottom line high risk = high reward or goes lower.
We build our wealth on this type of investing.
Do not bet the farm on one these stocks, buy sell re buy sell. We play the same stock over and over.
Take our profits and buy boring stocks like FTS,
You need torque and this is a great way to do it.
Not every stock is a SHOP.
If we an double a penny stock, try to get that on a GIC.
I would lister to 5i before some random dude on some web site.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers

Mike

Q: Brad asked a question on April 7th about phantom distributions. It is worth checking your investment statement to ensure they increase the ACB for capital gains. I have found it is not always done and investment houses don't always understand the proper procedure.

Q: Good morning 5i
A question regarding the tax status when an option is closed out by buying it back before expiration date. I believe that amount would be credited as a capital loss, if the underlying stock was not sold. Am i right on this assumption?
Thanks
