Investment Q&A

Q: Any reason for sharp drop today Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Hi 5i, I've seen a recently viral clip going around social media of a TV showing you which shoes an NBA player is wearing in real time while also giving you the option to purchase them. This seems like an incredibly powerful interface to drive consumer spending that can certainly be expanded to almost any visible entertainment platform. Is this along the same lines of Shopify? If not, I'm wondering if you know of any frontrunners in this space that would be worth taking a position.

Thanks!

Q: I have owned DOO for over a year but thinking it’s losing steam. I may sell it after this week’s quarterly result comes out. Considering buying BYD with the proceeds for more growth. Thoughts?

Q: I have a half position and am in the process of building a full position in Leon's....just read the article (thanks David) about the 300% tariff on furniture sourced from China and Vietnam. I have gone to Leon's website, trying to get a feel for the potential impact on Leon's and could not find the information I need....hoping your sources and search engines are better.

What percentage of LNF is based on furniture?
What % of furniture is impacted by these initial tariff rates (% sourced from China and Vietnam)?
What is the likelihood of the final tariffs being similar to these initial ones?
What is the overall impact on Leon's and their business model going forward (when you net it all down, does the tariff have a significant impact on their overall business)?

Thanks for you help...Steve

Q: Would like help choosing between TOI or DSG, which name would be added for growth for a 5+ year hold? From reading all the answers for TOI and DSG, your answers indicate TOI may have higher future growth? Thank you.

Q: Market cap as questioned in my April 6 query - 3.06 Billion or some other number?
5i had contacted TOI in April to confirm this - has there been a response?

Q: Do you have any sense, or a guess even, about the timeline when things are sorted out here, one way or the other? Thanks.

Q: In a market of rising prices, BDGI seems to be bucking the trend by hitting 52 week lows. What is going on?

Q: There was a question about why Leon dropped (although I see it was up by the end of the day). But it could have been the shock of reading about the tariffs being imposed as per the CBC story today:

Q: Hi,
I own DND and not so pleased with the idea of this company is considering going private. It went public not even a year ago. The sudden change of "heart" has me thinking if they are constrained in someway in being public vs a private company.
In any event, the $50.50 acquisition price proposal is low, in my opinion. A financing at that price was done no so long ago.
I am hoping this company stays public as its a great company and growing very fast.
I have decided to hold onto my shares.
In light of my view, could you please share your thoughts?
Thanks,

Q: I have held Enbridge for 10 plus years and done quite well with it
Given all the headwinds they are facing I'd be interested in your thoughts on continuing to hold
it.

Q: I follow the 5i balanced etf portfolio. Please rank the top 5 positions that would be favorable to adding new money in the current market conditions.

Q: Why the big drop today...5%? Opportunity to buy more?

Q: Hi, Based on the assumption, that eventually a sale is likely to happen in the price range of $50.50 or higher, is an arbitrage trade ( Buy @ $48 and wait until a Sale is final ) makes sense ? Thanks

Q: Your thoughts on the DND announcement?

Q: I just saw the latest short report. WELL had over 5 million listed which is a ton. Very few are higher. Is there market rules which forces them to cover where they have no choice. Could a Game Stop Corp scenario happen.

Thanks Steve

Q: Please comment on filing of mixed shelf to a max.can$4B .Initial negative market response .Appears may be making another acquistion. as still has $800m as at last Q end.Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Can't stop, won't stop. Like 5i, I like momentum.

Thanks for the recommendation a while back. I'm approaching a double and position size is still reasonable at 3.5%. Is a top up to ~4-5% reasonable given the momentum and outlook or do you think it remains a bit too risky to increase position size? Note that I stop buying a position at 5% and let them run to 7-10% before trimming, so topping up to 5% would put ECN as my third largest holding after CSU and GSY.

Q: Hi Team,
Any comments on Lendcare (GSY), announcing point of sale financing for auto repairs? This seems significant to me, but the stock is not moving today. I have never heard of auto repair POS financing where I am. Seems like this could be a big thing if it takes hold.
