Q: Peter Et al;
Just a note to Frank and Enb- Csu,shop and a few others that 5i recommended also at one time were out of favour but seem to be doing ok now. Picking one stock out of all the ones recommended that hasn’t performed - yet- seems a bit premature.

Q: As per a New York Post and WSJ articles, ATD would be interested in acquiring Speedway from Marathon Petroleum and is apparently looking at selling some of it US Circle K gas station to appease US regulators and, maybe, to free some cash. What would be your views if this transaction materialize.
Q: I see that REAL is reporting at the end of the month. Wondering if you could give me the estimates that are expected? Also, I am curious to hear if you have any thoughts on earnings, (beat or miss) or if you could give your own expectations?
Thanks for everything,
Josh
Q: Hi Peter/Ryan seeing that SHOP has risen so much from when you first put it in the Model portfolio at 28.84 is it to late to invest in it now at these levels. How much more upside could there be. Thanks, Nick
Q: Will comercial real estate and in particular mall real estate keep Brookfield in the penalty box for the forseeable future.This name does not respond when the markets are buoyant ...but has. No problem falling with the general mkt.Are there better sectors to be deployed in until we get some Covid clarity?
Q: Hi Guys
Savaria has fallen the last few months quite a bit. I would have thought in a world where people are motivated to stay in their homes, rather than move to long term care, it would be seen as a stock that would benefit from this trend, and the stock would follow.. I know they have companies they own in China - do you think this could be the reason - a concern about this part of their business given current CDN relations with China? I was thinking of adding to my existing position - up to about a 3% position - your thoughts?
Q: Are you surprised this company is not trading near it’s 52 week high? With so many businesses having to shutdown because of COVID, I thought It would make what ATS has to offer even more attractive.

Q: I was disappointed in your answer to Andrew on June 30th regarding GIL. I too bought GIL based on your rating and recommendation (B+). I subscribe to 5i to help simplify my investment decisions, and do not expect to have to look for other subtle clues such as portfolio weight etc to assess how you actually feel about a stock. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect clarity, and timely updates of prior ratings if sentiment changes.
This item was recently highlighted on BNN: "Parkland may return to high-yield debt to fund M&A: CFO". Is this a concern going forward, or should we stay the course with a total portfolio weight of 2.86%? Thanks for your insight.
Q: Hello 5i team,
What is your take at this point for Gildan? How much cash do they have on hand?
I bought around the same time as your recommendation ($49.33). At the current price of ~$20.50, would you be reviewing this holding or are you still quite comfortable until the world returns to normal. When is the next quarter?
Q: hello 5i Research team, PHO: 3 of the 5 board members only got 75% or 76% of « vote for » at the annual meeting. This is quite unusual. Could you identify some potential significant investors that would have voted against? Are awhere of anything about those persons that would explain this? Should I worry, especially with a new president? Can we expect some divergence of opinion between management and shareholders that could cause some change in the organization? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric
