Q: Hi Team,
What’s driving the relentless selling of Well lately? I don’t see why investors are taking a negative view on the name recently. Is this giving us a chance to buy more at basement bottom prices here ? Price targets average over $8 today and the stocks trading down towards the $3 range. Your take on the name is appreciated. Thanks

Q: Hi, my question is of a general nature concerning banks and the differences between Can. and Amer. mortgage systems.
Firstly, why are there two different systems(term lengths) of issuing mortgages and how can Amer. banks afford to issue long term (30 yr) mortgages at such low interest rates (which until recently were very low), now with higher rates their costs for deposits increases substantially compared to their long term loan rates. how can they survive in this situation? Is this the reason Canadian terms are s much shorter?
Thanks, Chris
Best of the season for all

Q: I hold HXDM in my unregistered account (MER: 0.22 + max 0.3 swap fee) and am looking for an international ETF for developed countries (ex. Canada & US), that like HXDM does not include small caps, only medium and large cap stocks. I could use HXDM but fees are high and AUM is only 477M, however, there is no withholding tax with HXDM - your comments appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: Hi team,
BIPC is currently still 45% below its 52week high. Bn is now only 4% below its 52week high . Do you see BIPC playing catch up here ? Is it not a more compelling buy at this point than Bn while it’s down here , plus it’s almost 5% div ? I was looking for your thoughts if it would be wise to buy some BIPC at these levels and collect the nice div while waiting or sp recovery ?

Thanks ,

Shane

Q: Perhaps a long-shot question, but I wonder if you are aware of any company providing amazing services similar to 5i, but focused on the European (in particular, French, German and UK) equity markets?

Many thanks in advance! Aaron

Q: I am looking for a few suggestions for high quality corporate bonds that will mature in around 5 years. I tried using TD's fixed income tool to do research, but it seems like the selection of bonds on offer is artificially limited. Can you suggest a few bonds or direct me to a website that would allow me to better research them myself?

Q: Hi 5i
I saw your comment on the MFC/Global Atlantic deal. MFC has hit $28 and I had decided to re-evaluate it at this price. It seems to trade between 24-28 so I'm tempted to take the profit. But if they are buying back shares (I think I read 2.8% of float starting next year), and the market seems to like this deal, can you see it crossing $30? Also have SLF and POW (with re-evaluate price at $40)
Thanks, Greg

Q: Hello
I have equal amounts in CLO and CLF. Wondering if it might be a good idea to swap one of these for the longer term XLB Bond Fund to hopefully play the downturn in interest rates? If so which would you swap and why? Is there a safer trade with equal potential with less risk then XLB?
Thanks
Jeff
