Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on the fundamentals of GSY and your opinion as a buy at today's price. Also having checked the INK Insider Report there seems to have been a lot of selling. Could you comment on this as well as total insider holdings. I know that GSY is in the business of lending money but does it also have debt and if so then is it a manageable amount.
Thanks.

Q: Hi.
I bought GSY last year March - April when “the baby was being thrown out with the bath water”. My average cost was about $30. I sold at around $100. After I sold , I realized I did the most foolish thing. I didn’t need to sell , so why did I, was the question that kept bugging me. I sometimes can’t fathom why I do foolish things with my stocks. I told myself it’s not the end of the world and I can still buy the stock at around $127.( today’s price-April 9th). This time i Intend to hold for at least 5 years, or even longer. What are your thoughts on GSY over the next 3-5 years?
Thanks ,

Q: Hi guys.

What are your thoughts on North West Company's earnings, today?
They beat earnings but announced the CEO is leaving. They also announced "earnings in 2021 will be meaningfully above pre-Pandemic (2019) levels but likely below 2020". I think this was already baked into the bake as consensus 2021 eps estimates is 20% lower than 2020.

Your insights are always appreciated.

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: In a recent answer to Ed you recommended this company as one of the top Canadian REITS that hold US properties ("Tricon (TCN) would be the top of the list." ). However, when I took a look, it is today $12.86, and 5 years ago was 12.00 so not much capital appreciation. The distribution is only 2.2%. It has been the same ($.07) for 5 years, and was one cent less ($.06) for about 5 years before that. In light of what seems to me very lacklustre performance, what makes you put this at the top of your list? Thanks!
