Q: i see you use the phrase “need to own”, so in your opinion what are 5 need to own stocks.
does goeasy fit the bill, i am sure you will say csu.
i know you hate the oil space but there has to be one you like, maybe parex.
i never understood need to own, that phrase only works as long as nothing company specific changes.

Q: Hi- just a comment on the question of the COO shares- the release doesn't reveal whether he indirectly has shares (Trust) nor does it talk of any options he may own - likely significant.

  • View Questions on TCL.A

Q: TCL seems to be dropping a lot going into earnings and/or the news regarding the publisac issues in Montreal - it looks like a civic subcommittee has recommended banning this flyer distribution system though it is not a done deal (from what I have gathered). My question is: does TCL break out the revenue for Publisac? How material is this if it happens? Or is it more a case of yet another negative news item for a company that has been dealing with too many for too long.

Q: Good day 5i.
The only US position I now hold in my RRSP is ZWH.
I like this ETF, just leave it alone and let it spit money out.
I'm looking for another US ETF that will fit nicely with ZWH and t pays monthly. The new ETF position would be half the size of ZWH if that helps.

Thanks for you help.
