Q: Looks like BYD and DOL are both rallying into their earnings. I am expecting a good dividend increase from DOL but not sure what to expect from BYD. What does 5i think?
Also, do you think BYD can actually grow their stores by 700 over the next five years?
Thanks Keith

Q: Hi,
I noticed other questions covering the fact GSY was added to the index and that we might expect a bit of pick up and / or increased volume with it. However, it seemed to drop fairly hard on Friday and I am wondering if I've missed something material here. Interested in your thoughts and as always appreciate the input! Thanks,
Dawn

Q: 5i team, can you help me understand how to interpret the numbers associated with some of these high flying growth stocks discussed in this forum on a regular basis?
Let's take WELL as an example of many. Mkt cap 1.3B/Rev.42.9M/EPS -.07/Price-sales 30.6/ Op Mgn -22.3%
So, my question is, what is the path to WELL growing into this market cap, or any of the other key metrics? Or am I asking the wrong question?

Thanks for your help.

Q: What do you know of XBC's management? How would you rate them, both excluding what is happening now and including current affairs?

In your report on the company in December 2020, you state:
Management is well-seasoned and has public company experience, including former top executives (CEO, CFO, COO) of various energy and industrial companies like CAE Inc (CAE) and McPhy Energy North America. Have they ever experienced anything like what they are going through with XBC now? How important is the involvement of CDPQ who invested $50M?

5i advanced XBC as a top growth company, as recently as March 10. Your report outlines your reasoning back in 2020. Obviously it's a different picture today. Any lessons learned?

Q: Hi, before you mentioned that we should keep small cap positions to around 3%. Ahead of WELL earnings, my WELL position is closing in on 5%. Is this reasonable or too aggressive? I can handle some volatility and I am a long term growth investor. I see in your growth portfolio WELL is over 5% now. Would you look to trim back to around 3% or maintain the 5% position? Thanks!
