Q: Loop Energy IPO. What do you think of Loop Energy? Would you be a buyer and if so at what price?

Q: Hi team,
After watching CCIV sail away into the sunset, I have to wonder what other big SPAC deals are in the works? Do you have any insights as to enable you to recommend to me an early stage SPAC that hasn't blasted off 400% yet, that a guy could possibly look at buying into for hopes of hitting a homerun? It seems every SPAC that is hitting them market is going up 2-400% so far. Who knows what CCIV will be up to if/ when the Lucid deal comes to fruitition. I know the risks of the SPAC, would be for some speculative investing. Thanks!
Shane.

Q: Hello, your thoughts on participating in this IPO? Does their management and technology compare well to their competitors? In this sector, I only own XBC and have done very well, so I'd like to add another. Would this be a worthy addition for a quick pop or long-term hold? This would be less then 5% of my portfolio and I have a high risk tolerance. If not, what sector picks would you suggest. Much thx.

Q: I know you often suggest not jumping into IPOs right away, but do you think it will be a good idea to buy the new Telus International (TIXT) once it starts trading or would you wait for it to settle as well?

Thanks.

Q: Hi team,

Saw this on Cision (and also Baron's) today re ....Flow Water Inc.
What is your take on this upcoming (potential) IPO?
Is this simply another case of a company taking advantage of the ESG IPO craze (as per Ryan's recent article) or does this company actually have merit and thus legs to succeed.
They seem to have a decent consumer following but is that following sustainable for multiple years or is it just a flashy trend?
From the Cision article..."We've demonstrated consistent quarter over quarter growth, grew revenue to approximately CAD $30 million in 2020, and are over 95% CAGR since 2018."
Those numbers caught my attention. I did read that they are not profitable yet.
Thoughts? Just a company to 'watch' for a few quarters post IPO?

Q: Hi 5i Team - It is my understanding that most of the Canadian start-up technology companies are going with private funding rather than public, resulting in a scarcity of technology companies to invest in on the TSX or Vancouver Exchange. First, could you comment on the accuracy of this assessment. Secondly do you know of any such companies that are available to the general public for investment or may be planning an IPO over the next year. This would not include more established companies such as LSPD, KXS or of course SHOP. Thanks again for all your advice over the years. Your service has been invaluable over these years and continues to be so.
