Investment Q&A

Q: FYI - Re Shopify insider sales by COO. Check out "canadianinsider.com" for a good view of options and rights at very low prices that were exercised recently. ($6.22 US options and $0.152 US rights) A sweet deal when selling at ~ $370.00 US.
I find the website very informative and have it bookmarked.

Q: Any reason why this stock keeps dropping? I'm planning on selling it after the split and buying it back in a non-registered account (unless it keeps taking a dive).
Thanks!

Q: When do theyI the report? Estimates please

Q: Hello 5i team,.
I have MX and TFII in my margin account that I'm thinking of selling to claim the capital loss.
Do you expect these two stock prices to go up significantly in the next 30 days?
Would you advise to buy them back after the 30 days?
Thanks

Q: could you tell me when the shares of the new company will be given out to existing share holders

Q: VET claims it's dividend (and capital expenditure) is covered at $55/barrel i.e. it's cash flow positive @ $55. Do you agree with them?

Q: Recently, guests on BNN have suggested that these stocks are getting very rich and value could be found in other stocks. Do you agree and also could you recommend 2-3 US stocks that show growth going forward and would be a long term hold.

Thanks

Dave.

Q: What is the book value???
Thx

Q: I was a shareholder of Enercare and received Exchangeable LP Units on BIP.UN's acquisition of Enercare. When the Exchange Corporation is created - will I receive 0.11 BIPC shares for each of the Exchangeable Units? (I have asked BIP.UN the same question but have not received an answer yet)
Thanks

Q: Hi Guys
Any idea why SYZ is falling so much lately. I know it is a weird trader and end of the year but?
Thanks

Q: With the impending takeover of TSGI by Flutter, would you advise continuing to hold TSGI/Flutter or switching to GC for 3-5 year time frame?

Thanks.

Q: Wondering if you have any insight into this IPO- its a PP and fairly small.
Any background appreciated.

Q: Tagged this question to SYZ but it could apply to any listed situation. I'm looking for some trader perspective.

SYZ is relatively illiquid, TSX Venture listed and spreads between bid & ask sometimes wide. Not certain but think the market maker is Haywood brokerage house #62. Normal Course Issuer Bid is in place and I believe BMO brokerage is conducting that.

Recently I looked at live quotes showing visible market depth. Bid was small volume at 9.59 and small (but larger) offered volume at 9.68

I entered a buy order with volume size that would have taken out all of the visible offered at 9.68 and a little more up to 9.69.

My unsolicited limit buy order completely filled. Price received was better than the limit order price entered and midway between visible bid/offer prices on market depth.

Live quotes for trade history did not print the sales at either the TSX site or on Canada Stockwatch live trade prints. I do not know who buying brokerage was.

Live quotes after the done trade still showed same bid/offer prices and sizes on the depth of market.

Detailed long-winded description. The question -- Can you provide some background color on how some trade prints show up immediately while others (ie. above description) seem to be invisible. Just curious and trying to understand the behind-the-scenes mechanics of trade stuff better.

Q: STC has sold off quite a bit the last few days. Any reason why?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

This is not a question, but rather a comment. I often read in the Q@A that the insurance on GICs is $100,000. This is not entirely true. If you invest in a GIC at an Ontario credit union or caisse populaire, the insurance is $250,000. See the link below.

Q: Been in the stock for a relatively long time, was up nicely then went overweight near the all time high, now down 20%, a big bet went bad. RBC shows earnings drastically dropping next two quarters, would you hold or bail?

Q: this stock is down almost 15% since the first of December! Other than the discontinuation of the US listing, I have not seen any additional news to justify the fall in price. Nor should it be based on tax loss selling, as at least technically, this should not be in play for this large of a drop.
are you aware of some other info that is not indicated in there news info?

Q: INF is merging into RA. This adds 195 M in assets to RA’s 841 M. RA then will be over the 1B in assets. I have RA , but not sure if I should add now or after the merge. I have it for dividends and a bit of growth. I know the MER is high at 2.23% but because the yield is high at 10+ I don’t mind . Although with the merge not sure of the outcome. Your comments please ?

Q: The executives at Syz have really filling their pockets over the backs of share holders.
Huge bonuses and options.
In the mean time increasing share count.
As a result... a drop in shareholders value.
What is your thought about all this?

Q: I hold 7% of my portfolio in CBO. It's performance over the last 5 years has been less than I thought it would been. I was wondering if you could suggest an alternative. I was considering switching 3% to something else with similar considerations. What about VSC?
