Investment Q&A

Q: Hi team,

What would it take for SU to restore the dividend pre covid?

Also, with all that money 'saved' from the dividend cut, you think they are buying back shared, paying down debt, looking for an acquisition, all of the above?

Thank you

Q: Would you feel comfortable stepping in and initiating a position with MRS at the $0.38 level?
Thanks!

Q: I had planned to buy TIXT as my next Tech purchase but it has been trending down (down 2% today as I write this) and I do not buy on bad momentum. However, it is getting near ist price the week of its issue and 5I are positive on it long term. I realize you cannot pick bottoms but is there a price wher you feel it "should not go lower"

Q: Why the big jump this morning? Cheers

Q: Hi 5i team:
Am i looking at this right regarding the exchangeable part of the share. If BAMR does well you get the upside of a very specific business but if it does not do well your downside is protected by the exchangeable back to the regular BAM shares?

Q: Reading through their earnings and it sure feels like it was a blow-out quarter. The stock is down 4% today. Is this just a sell the news event or did I miss something materially negative from the release?

Q: Has there been significant insider selling over the past 3 months?
Is the debt level sustainable?

Q: I realize that you have a generally favourable view of EGLX, but it seems overly extreme that the SP has declined more than 40% since 3 May. Any insight other than investors shunning small caps? A short attack?

Thanks as always.

Q: What is the reason for the large drop today? Would you continue to hold here or sell? Thanks Clare

Q: LNF is held in a portfolio whose mandate is income and capital preservation. There are a total of 12 equity positions. LNF seems to have some concerns about imported furniture and recently had a small downgrade from an analyst. I am wondering about switching to, say, TRI. Would such a switch be good, this portfolio with its mandate. Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Buy TFII or ATA? Which would you suggest and why or do you have another you would suggest for a TFSA?
Thanks and keep up the great work, much appreciated.
John

Q: Please comment on the BD of $125m convertible debenture announced after market close,& its impact on price going forward.Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Further to you explaining your investment philosophy in your July 9/21 answer to Todd.

Regarding not "averaging down".....how about the situation where you are slowly building a position over time, as funds become available? For example, I am in the process of building a position in Leon's (LNF). I bought in Jan '21-$21.60, Apr '21-$21.95, June '21-$21.65 and plan to buy my last portion when the monies become available in August or September. Each time I review various LNF metrics, as well as recent 5IR questions, and then decide whether adding is appropriate. If I continue to like the metrics/answers and LNF happens to be lower in price, I then feel like I am getting it on sale. Does this rationale make sense to you?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: I am waiting for EGLX to ease its decline. Earlier you suggested $7 could be a good entry price. Do you feel it should be purchased at today's price or wait further? Thank you.

Q: I want to maximize my total return over the next 5 years without taking on excessive risk. Would switching LNF for TOI set me up to accomplish this goal? If the switch will increase risk beyond my expectation, can you suggest another company? Thank you

Q: Do you see the current price as a reasonable entry point for TRI or would you recommend waiting for a pullback?

Q: what can you tell me about this spin off- growth outlook, valuation, balance sheet.
My experience is you want to buy these BAM spins once the clean up trades are done.
thoughts?

Q: Ant reason for the $9.00 jump on Friday?? thanks, Jim

Q: Hi gang, I noticed badger has been going down since it changed its symbol. Any updates and where do you see go from here. Thanks

Q: First, this is not a question that involves portfolio weighting.

Would 5i hold Well as a full position of 5% in a balanced portfolio of 20 positions?

Thanks as always
