Q: Hello team,

With Chinese flocking to their theaters as a sign of what is to come post Covid, do you think the pent up demand in Canada will save CGX? Or is CGX now too debt laden and too risky for investors to bother?

I don't like speculation so I guess I want to know if the worst is over and this is a real investment opportunity in a company which now has enough time to overcome its misfortunes and see better days ahead.

What is a good entry point if you want to play?

Thanks a bunch as always!

Q: Looking for some sage 5i advice,,. ! own warrants that have yielded a good return and want to continue to own BRAGG shares. Accordingly, from a capital gain (tax) perspective is it better to exercise the warrant to own the shares OR sell the warrants, trigger the capital gain then buy the shares? When is the capital gain recognised if I roll the warrants into shares? Finally, how do I redeem the warrants for shares on TD WebBroker?

Q: I am planning to buy a half position in one of these companies, partly as a defensive holding. Even though the markets are up significantly in the last 6 months, shares in both these companies have been in fairly steady decline totalling over 10% in that time. I find it difficult to buy when a stock price has negative momentum. Do you have any indicators of what is leading to the price decline and when it could turn around?

Q: Scr- Could explain what happened to the share price and the company vote on consolidation. Do you like this consolidation. The price was already strong I thought it was already enough for the us listing. I was also having very hard time trying to find the number to call for the consolidation meeting. No one answered at the company or investors relations.
Could you please also comment on the reasoning for the share price decrease for ad.un

Q: Hello:

Doing a little cleanup and wondering if NA, BCE, SJR.B or HPQ are worth holding. For sure I have plenty of Canadian financial exposure without NA. I also hold Telus but wondering about dropping Shaw and/or BCE. HP seems to be on the upswing with COVID but is it a long-term keeper?

And then, if you think some can go, what might I substitute? NVDA for HPQ? Would US telcom companies be attractive?

These are held in RRSP, 20 year horizon.

Thanks for your excellent service.
