Q: Hi, looking at your Feb 2021 Investor Suite, page 14.

You show an implied return of 6.7% and I'm wondering how you get that. Immediately above the 6.7 are the numbers 236.13 and 123.51 and if you divide those and take the result to the 1/10 power and subtract one you get 6.7%. Trouble is, the 236.13 is described as "Shares Outs." meaning presumably shares outstanding, which really throws me (also, the shares outstanding are actually 2.36 million according to the companies section of the 5i website which suggests you really meant to say shares outstanding). I can see the logic if you meant to say "projected share price in 10 years". Can you explain to me how you get the 6.7%? Thanks.

Q: Good morning. I'm trying to decide on whether to add to my existing KXS or start a new position in either DND or TOI. I have a long time frame. Are the prospects for DND/TOI compelling enough to start one or even two new positions or should I just build on KXS, which you suggested way back and which has been a stellar performer.

Q: I have held TFII for a short period of time about 2 1/2 years, last year I trimmed when I got over 6 %. With the recent runup I left it to run to 7% and did nothing as I am unsure of the valuation with such a large aquistion of UPS and maybe it would come back some which it did. I wanted to see a quarter or two after the aquistion before I trimmed or not. On the 22nd you made a comment about TFII being cheap could you add some color to that comment as I am struggling with a valuation post UPS takeover. Thanks

Q: LSPD has 115,000 locations (74,000 in third quarter report on February 2020 and 47,000 in third quarter report on February 2019) serviced by their SaaS. Dax has indicated that there are 49 million SMB and there are targeting 7 million of those. My question is what is the projected number of locations in five years? If they are targeting 7 million SMB then those businesses have 1.5 locations per business (my estimate) gives 10.5 million locations. What is the probability they can get 10.5 million locations - zero chance. What is the probability of getting 5 million locations - zero. What is the probability of getting 1 million locations - 100 %. If they have 115,000 locations today and they will get to 1,115,000 locations in let’s say five years that is a 10x increase. I understand the metric will change from price per sales to price per equity because they will be profitable. Is it possible to say that the share price increases by a factor of 10?

Q: Hi,

Just a follow up to my earlier question on go easy. What's the next area of growth for the Company? While they may have plenty of room to grow in Canada, what do you think is next? Unlikely they get bought out by a Big Bank because of bad optics perhaps? Can they expand geographically or into other segments?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: I had been waiting for awhile for xbc to correct before taking a position. Got tired of waiting and watching it continually climb. Took a small position at $10.60ish and of course now I am seeing the correction I was waiting for. I added a bit more at $9.03 but now it’s down almost another $1.00.
Is there any news accounting for this?
Is your longer term thesis still positive?
Would now be a good time to add a bit more or is there more downside to come?
My overall position is still quite small relative to my whole portfolio and its in my TFSA and I don’t need the money.

Q: I have been fortunate to have made 300 per cent with Go Easy, is it time to trim and buy into Air Canada or WYNN with the potential rebound or simply run with GSY? Thanks
PS I’d have never known about GSY if it weren’t for your stellar recommendation and advice.
