Q: Hi, Most of Quality companies' stocks in Technology sector have bounced back nicely, during the first 2 weeks in January. But Kinaxis has not moved at all and still stuck around $140 level. We have held on to a 2% position, based on 5i' conviction as being one of the best in supply/logistics software sector, similar to Descartes. Any reasons for the lagging performance ? Is it time to move on and allocate the capital to better use elsewhere ? Thank You

Q: Hi there. I am looking for a dividend growth company or ETF to add to our kids RESP with a 10 year time horizon. What do you recommend from the 5i Research universe to initiate a position in now. After the initial purchase, I intend to dollar cost average on an ongoing basis. I already have Telus, Abbvie, and BMO in two other accounts and those are my highest dividend payers.

Q: hi folks:

on any and all mid to long timelines, BNS has VASTLY underperformed both RY and TD

i suspect this is the latin exposure, followed up with crappy mgmt

at what point does an investor (or 5i) admit you/we are collectively wrong, and drop it from our/your preferred status?

do you have a serious blind spot?

honest question, because the evidence is quite clear this is not in the same league as td or ry


and yes, i make may own decisions, and take full responsibility for my actions

thanks again, and please note that while this is a fairly minor issue, i find your service is top notch

Q: I noted and likely your strategy to add to XHY for income and possible capital gains. However, when I looked at high yield corp. bond ETFs, ZJK looked better overall. There is also the matter of CAD hedging. I'm looking to park cash for my 2023 RIF withdrawal this December and I've been using the BMO HISA for this. Can I have your opinion on using ZJK or XHY instead for about 2% higher income?

Q: Profitability, why is this so difficult to achieve for LSPD? Is one reason that the CAO and Board are still continuing to be driven or leaning to expansion and therefore changing to control control is difficult to achieve? But that does not make sense because we have heard they want to be profitable in 2024! I am confused. Clayton

Q: Hi 5i,

Is there an explanation somewhere as to the meaning of the % at the bottom right corner of the Income Model Portfolio? The headings are: Portfolio; Benchmark; Active. An explanation of each line in the chart would help me understand the relevance.

Thanks for the help.
John
