Q: We'd all love to get a look at a few stock prices from 5 years in the future. Get a big winner, or avoid a big loser, with no risk. If you could get a list of the prices of 10 Canadian stocks 5 years from now, which ones would you pick? Let's say stocks with a min market cap of roughly $1 billion Cdn.

Q: Hi 5i,
I read your market update with interest. You guys tend to be adders and trimmers as I am. You made a lot of incremental adds to various positions. I was surprised by the complete exit from OTEX at 4%. I believe you said on a number of times that one should not sell a good company unless there has been a fundamental change in the company, management or outlook. I do not see any fundamental change with OTEX. You said the stock has been a laggard. One always has some laggards in a portfolio. A steady eddy name can actually help you in these markets. Removing a 4% position seems out of sync with your style.
Thanks again.

P.S. Peter, great session with TD yesterday, even though I am not really a small cap guy.

Q: In focusing on a sector specific purchase i guess i had my blinders on about share structure of this company! I've never been a fan of the multiple share structure model. What are your thoughts about the bought deal financing and ownership situation? Would you continue to hold?

Q: I don't know anything about technical analysis. However, looking at the chart of XBC over the past week there appear to be clear levels of support and resistance at 1.80, 1.95 and then at 2.25, Presumably this relates to investors either taking profits or exiting at a reduced loss following the recent uptick. My question: does this chart tell us anything about future levels of support or what we might expect moving forward? Thank-you for your insight.

Q: AKT.A has been showing better momentum lately, but I'm still way way down on this stock. Would you continue to hold or sell and use the funds to average down on Xebec?
My other 2 options are to either sell Knight Therapeutics, or use up some of my cash to top up Xebec.
I sold both TBRD and UNS near their lows only to watch them Rocket later, so this makes me hesitant on selling my losers, i often get it wrong.
Thanks

Q: GSY: I've been thinking about buying this stock; however, concerned about the BOC aggressive stated policy to increase interest rates quite quickly. This and the recent report from RBC on housing service index that is high and getting higher - higher % income required to service mortgage debt. Concerned about a recession; especially, if I own this stock which probably would get killed, I would think? Comments please.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team
Have held ENGH for several years in a LIF. I like the dividend of SYZ for income and am considering switching mainly for the dividend. I believe you rate ENGH higher than SYZ but like them both. Which do you think will make a better recovery? Is this a reasonable move?
Thanks
Gary

Q: I know the drop in gross profits this quarter was an unwelcome surprise - down 20% after earnings release. Management calls it atypical issuesThe question is, do you think this is a bump in the road or is it a chronic issue in the business plan. They seem to have huge back log, they map out very bright future revenues... what are red flags here? Is this a buying opportunity?
