Q: I currently own ECN in a TSFA. If part of the special dividend will be ROC ,it appears that will not be a positive result for me, and the loss in stock value after the dividend is paid will possibly take years to recover. Would I just be better off selling today and foregoing the dividend? Thoughts?

Q: Hi team
My question is about the results of bmo in the last quarter. They show earnings of $ 3.41, how much of that is a reversal of provisions on bad debt?, If they target 40-50 % of earnings to the dividend, the increase would be rather large, depending how much they put towards buybacks, something that I never liked.

Thanks

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

I have noticed lots of 5i Q & A re miners, ETFs and other related companies (VB as an example) and investing in Crypto. I have also noticed more and more discussions taking place regarding portfolio managers starting to take more notice of Crypto Currency and, that it could eventually be a part of every Managers Portfolio in the coming years. Even going as far as to say it could act quite well as a hedge similar to how gold performs during a market down turn.

My question... Has 5i ever or, are you presently in the process of discussing Crypto Currencies and/or related companies (such as VB) with the intent of adding it to the 5i Growth Portfolio? Or are you still thinking this direction far to risky? Do you think there is any foundation in people taking about every Portfolio Manager eventually making Bitcoin (or the like) a part of their portfolios?

Thanks for all you do

gm

Q: Can you comment on the tax considerations of the ECN special dividend in a non-registered account? I am up almost $2 currently but will receive a $7.50 dividend. From a tax perspective I feel I am better to sell now and pay the capital gains on the $2 instead of taxes on the $7.50 dividend . I can always buy it back later. Assume I am in a medium to high marginal tax bracket.
Thanks

Q: Good Morning,
I see this morning they had a bit of a dividend increase, is this the best use of capital for them at this point? The yield is already sitting at just under 8% ? Maybe pay down some debt or buy back some shares if they are so cheap? The higher yield is nice but doesn't really seem to attract new shareholders or move the needle for them.
thanks

Q: Hello, I'd be curious to hear your views on DEFI (trades on the Neo Exchange), which has been on a bit of a tear the past month, after a previous six-month slump. I have a small position, and am wondering whether this a potential long-term hold in the decentralized finance space. It is currently approaching a $900m CAD market cap. Many thanks as ever! Aaron
