Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: FYI - Re Shopify insider sales by COO. Check out "canadianinsider.com" for a good view of options and rights at very low prices that were exercised recently. ($6.22 US options and $0.152 US rights) A sweet deal when selling at ~ $370.00 US.
I find the website very informative and have it bookmarked.

Q: Hello 5i team,.
I have MX and TFII in my margin account that I'm thinking of selling to claim the capital loss.
Do you expect these two stock prices to go up significantly in the next 30 days?
Would you advise to buy them back after the 30 days?
Thanks

Q: I am wanting to purchase the parent company of all the Brookfield names but I am wondering in which account would it be best in? My regular cash account, TFSA or RRSP account with the drip turned on?. I was leaning towards TFSA but want to know if there is any tax issue or disadvantage.? Thanks

Q: Not a question but an observation. Read article in WSJ yesterday that USA going to pass a bill banning Chinese rail and electric bus companies from operating/ manufacturing in the states. A Chinese owned electric bus company manufacturing plant in the “the rust belt” will close. ( Probably could be bought at good price).

Market for electric buses expected to grow from $745 million in 2018 to $1.95 billon in 2024.

Someone with patience will do well with NFI.

Q: Understanding that nothing is ever a sure thing given that risk exists, at what price does CSU become too compelling to not buy if you don't currently have a position. It seems to have broken it's upward trend line which concerns me and I'm wondering if you can confirm that technical assumption and then give an opinion on whether or not to disregard and buy anyway.

Thanks!

Q: Hi, Besides profit taking, being a possibility after a nice run up, do you see any other reason for relentless selling seen in this great company for past 2/3 weeks. Now down to $1280 from the recent high of $1441. Even the valuation appears to have come to down a lot, to very reasonable level ? Thank You

Q: Hello again
We are hearing news that shop could be bought out. Is this real or just rumors?
How far do you think this stock can go for a long term hold. We are in very early, sold a little and are holding pure profit. Sure hope it stays a canadian company.
thanks as always

Q: i see you use the phrase “need to own”, so in your opinion what are 5 need to own stocks.
does goeasy fit the bill, i am sure you will say csu.
i know you hate the oil space but there has to be one you like, maybe parex.
i never understood need to own, that phrase only works as long as nothing company specific changes.

Q: TCL seems to be dropping a lot going into earnings and/or the news regarding the publisac issues in Montreal - it looks like a civic subcommittee has recommended banning this flyer distribution system though it is not a done deal (from what I have gathered). My question is: does TCL break out the revenue for Publisac? How material is this if it happens? Or is it more a case of yet another negative news item for a company that has been dealing with too many for too long.
