Q: Hi team,
Commissions on trades are gradually disappearing in the U.S. Do you think Canadian firms will do likewise and what impact will it have on the stock of TMX Group ? And your views on TMX now ?
Many thanks,

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I understand that the context under which the 5i team will answer questions is critical. A view to SELL a stock in one instance does not necessarily contradict one to BUY given a different set of parameters / assumptions etc. However, a Q/A provided recently concerning FSZ has me scratching my head a bit.
It would seem to me that the answer endorsing SLF over (CIX, IGM and FSZ) was too dismissive of FSZ given that FSZ is in the Income Model Portfolio and a (B+) report was provided 30 May 2019, citing the many positive aspects of FSZ, and a mere nod to the 'generally slower growth asset management industry'. Your comments please?
Thanks as always
Steve

Q: Hi,
I've been watching this stock for a while now, waiting for a bounce or some indication its decline was done. Today was not the day I was looking for (down 9%) following its announcement that it will no longer charge commissions on trades. Down 9% seems a bit much for this news. Thankfully, I don't own any shares - yet.
My research indicates that this company is doing much better than its stock performance...annual growth in each of revenues (CAGR or 10%+), operating and net income (16%+) and equity growth (17%). Cash flow (down about 30% TTM) is about the only concern I can see from its filings. Debt seems manageable and on the low side.
Trading near its 52 wk low, is this actually a good time to step into a quality company? Is its continued decline more a reflection of general concerns about the economy? What's really happening here?

Q: Opinion on Peoples United Financial Inc PBCT - Nasdaq
- CI Financial Corp. (CIX)
- IGM Financial Inc. (IGM)
- Fiera Capital Corporation Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (FSZ)
Q: I have all three in a taxable account, both FSZ and CIX down quite a bit while IGM which I held for a long time with considerable gain. None of them is considerable weighting in my portfolio and I am contemplating between selling all and buying either SLF or MFC or consolidating them to only one. Reading answers to questions it appears that your preference is FSZ. But you also like SLF. I am looking for growth more than dividends, Any suggestions? Thanks
Q: Although MIC is exhibiting good momentum, today's Globe is showing that short sale in MIC represents 22% of the float. Do you think this is a bearish signal or this will support the price due to expected short covering. Would you consider MIC, buy, hold sell? What rating would you give it? Thanks
