Q: Hi 5i,
GSY has always been a thin trader. There was a question yesterday about several companies being added to the TSX composite. You said that trading volume will increase and GSY will benefit the most. I understand a pickup in volume as funds that track the TSX take their positions in GSY. Once that is done, won’t GSY settle back to its old thin self?
Thanks again.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Sorry for yet another question about Xebec. I realize that stocks in the growth portfolio are by nature quite volatile, and since this holding is in a TFSA, and XBC closed today (Friday) with a loss in the account of 36.6%, we're wondering (based on your long experience in bull and bear markets or when a particular stock runs into difficulties), what kind of timeline we 'could' expect to recoup this loss.. We're aware that the 'green' sector, of which Xebec is a key player, stands to benefit from environmental initiatives and programs from different governments, including our Canadian regime, and the Biden administration, among others. However, since Xebec's problems appear to be somewhat company related, what advice can you offer? I should add that we both are fortunate to have defined-benefit pensions, and don't need the TFSA funds, but it's certainly gut-wrenching to see such a loss in one day! Your guidance is always greatly valued.

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

Lots of questions have been asked already. Everyone will be in the red on this one I am sure. Things happen.

My Question? What would your bottom line advice be today? Sell and take the loss ahead of quarterlies in 2 weeks? Or hang in there and look towards a rebound in the coming months/years?

Thanks for all you do

Q: I have an average cost base of $190 for Kinaxis. I still think it is a good company but was thinking it is maybe time to take a capital loss and move on. I was wondering if there are companies that you prefer more at current valuations and growth potential at this point in time? Or is Kinaxis at the top of the list and I should stick with it?

Q: The new CEO has been in place for about 18 months now and the latest financial reports were solid. While you never "disowned" the stock it was dropped from the portfolio. Would you be a buyer of this stock now, anticipating growth in lumber in particular as well as M&A activity or is it too soon yet to judge this new exec team?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Friday morning 9:40am and XBC is down heavy based on pre-announcement of sales decline. XBC has been touted as one of 5i's top growth stocks. But things happen. In earlier question today you replied that you would have to do more work on this. How and when will this new information be passed along? How do you now rate the stock? Is this a one time incident that will be overcome or does this significantly change your view?
