Q: Hi,
Would you please comment on the impact of the news that Loblaw will spin out its interest in Choice Properties REIT? It sounds like Loblaw Minority Shareholders will receive 0.135 common shares of George Westin Limited for each common share of Loblaw held. Does that mean after the deal closes these shares will be added to a brokerage account? If so, and if those Westin shares are sold, is this a tax-free transaction?
Thank you. Michael

Q: Q1: I am a big fan of 5i, so I ask what is going-on with the above-noted solidly-recommended-by-5i company, the share price of which company has collapsed since July 19 (at $50) to below $34 today (and currently down more than 8% from just the last trading day (Fri Aug 31) and down a whopping 32% from July 19)?
Q2: I purchased large into The Stars Group on June 29 at $44.50. Any thoughts/comments/suggestions on a going-forward basis with the stock price now being below $34?

Q: Good morning 5i

We are retired and have invested conservatively. By this I mean generally large cap dividend paying companies such as BCE, Telus, Loblaws, Proctor and Gamble (that one didn’t work out too well) and similar stocks.
Since signing on with 5i we have ventured more into the smaller growth type companies that are your forte’. We now own a fair amount of these kinds of stocks including NFI, Toy, Sis, Csu, Gud, pbh,tcl and dol. Thanks to you we have made a lot of money on most of these and faster than we would have with the larger cap companies.
We know that your own portfolios are comprised of these stocks, so we know that you trust them. But, when we look at our stage in life there seems to be a certain safety in the big, slow growers. And we are a little nervous about the smaller ones.
So, if you see 5% as a full compliment for a stock, in a situation like this, what would be a good percentage for these smaller cap stocks? If you say 5%, we can accept that, as we are not completely risk adverse.
Thanks again

Q: I have been considering a small position in TV at around the present price. I hesitate though, after reading what is perhaps frustration with this stock's last 8 quarters and the company's management as well.
Could you provide some clarity. No matter the market or the business, nothing can destroy potential like management .

Thank You
