Q: Hi 5i,

The CEO of CIGI recently purchased $17M dollars worth of stock. Is this significant relative to his holdings? Would you consider this a very strong vote of confidence for this stock by the CEO? What do you think an attractive purchase price would be for the stock assuming you think it is a good long term investment? thanks

Q: Hello 5i

You are often asked if you could provide 2-3 "bargains" from the various portfolios - could you, given the current environment, provide
- 2-3 from the balanced / Income portfolios
- 2-3 outside of the portfolios (either Canadian or US please)
That you would consider a good opportunity to pick up at this time.

Thanks

Q: What's your take on Brookfield Business Partners? Its stock value has been just about cut in half YTD and is currently at 7 PE which seems stupidly cheap. But I know Brookfield's entities can't always really be judged on PE multiples Why has this stock been hit as if it's a high-flying tech? And if the market is deeply undervaluing it might Brookfield buy it out as it did its real estate entity?

Q: IBI Group appears to have it troubles behind it. Earning ratios have been comparable to WSP and its debt in now very manageable. It trades at half the valuation multiple of WSP and as valuation multiple are contracting do you think it wise to divest of WSP and invest in IBI Group.

Q: Hello Peter,
Thank you for your response to my question. I am sorry if part of the question was not clear.
I was not looking for a choice between SHOP and TOI, or NVDA/QCOM over others. What would perform better between now and the end of seasonal strength end Feb 2023? Tech (SHOP and TOI) ) or Energy and commodities? Growth ( NVDA and CRWD) or Value (QCOM and MSFT)?
In your mind, is there a clear winner that would justify a switch from one to the other and is it too late to sell and make the switch?
Nothing is for sure. Just your opinion.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Rogers' ambition to purchase Shaw may have the side-effect of more-than-doubling Quebecor's wireless footprint. Assuming this occurs, does QBR.B become more attractive as an investment, or does the prospect of even more debt outweigh this windfall growth? In this connection, it's interesting that the company has already paid for substantial 5G spectrum.
