Q: Given my two portfolios (TFSA, Unregistered), I just added in some inheritance - 491 shares of CAE, I'm looking to trim back a good portion and reinvest in some other ideas to accompany my total list of holdings, or add to some current positions you feel are showing promise at todays price action and growth strategy would keep accelerating post covid.

I know you guys like CAE right now, Id like to know how much you feel would be a good trim to keep diversification and what would you recommend to reinvest in? I was thinking of trimming back to $4000 - would you agree?

Q: Hi there,

Shopify has performed remarkably well since IPO and I noticed you've moved it from your growth portfolio and into the balanced equity portfolio. In terms of total stock price appreciation from here, which of the 2 do you think will outperform over the next 5 years? In your personal opinion, which would you buy today?

Thanks!

Q: Hello -
I'd like to buy ATD.B. It appears to be at a reasonable valuation relative to it's past if I'm interpreting my info from Morningstar correctly. I'm just wondering how much of this comes at the expense of their exposure to transportation fuel. I already own SU, TRP and ENB to know enough of how the association with "dirty" energy knocks down a stock's price.
I know that you like their management. Do you have concerns about ATD.B going forward with all the talk of EV's these days ?

Q: This company seems to check all the boxes. Gaining share in a market, operating a capital-light business model that is tech-enabled with the network-effects of a platform connecting independent real estate professionals to lenders while growing new lines of business adjacent to their bread and butter (in Title Insurance and Data). Does this company seem too good to be true and there's some suspicious going on that we don't understand as minority shareholders?

If the business is so good, go high margin and so easy to win deals with Tier 1/2/3 suppliers doesn't that sounds like there barriers to entry are low and there may be increasing competitive forces coming up the rear end?

Q: Hi there. After listening to the cc and investor say as well as the Q&A here, it would seem that a major growth area for REAL to land a tier one bank in the US and once done leverage the refi platform to go for originations in T&C. My question is, would the completion of an agreement with said bank(S) be considered material or would it only be communicated in quarterly financials?

Q: Hello 5i team,
Regarding REAL: you mentioned it is now a weighting decision. I am a patient investor who likes to buy quality companies while they are at bargain price. If a full position is 5% in an already diversified portfolio, up to what weighting would you recommend? What surprised (disappointed) you and the market in their quarterly results or conference call?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric
