Q: Could I have your views on the takeover of this company announced this morning. Is this a good offer and are there more offers coming or should I sell this stock and invest the proceed in another company. Are there other Canadian companies that you feel are similar with a good outlook. Many tnx.

Q: Paul asked today if PRL's dividend has been increasing in proportion to its income increases, or are they increasing the payout ratio. In your answer, you mentioned the dividend is up by 30% compared to last year at this time, but you didn't compare this to the income increase. PRL had an 84% income increase in 2023 compared to 2022, and in Q1 of 2024, the income was up 77%, so in fact they have been DECREASING the payout ratio, as the income has been increasing at a much faster rate than the dividend.

Q: i would like to increase my US equity exposure which largely consists of VUN and VIG currently. I don't have a specific small cap holding but feel the lagging performance might indicate it is a good time to buy TQSM. Would you advocate buying now or waiting until October?
Thanks.

Q: I'm thinking of replacing my MAL shares with MDA for about a 2 to 2.5% position . { MAL is currently 1% so it would be a position size increase but still on the small side } ..... I notice the market cap of MDA is three times the size of MAL as well ..... It looks to me like MAL is a recovery play and MDA is a growth play. Could 5i give me a brief outlook on the short term and long term prospects of both and your preference between the two companies ? And whether a term I often see 5i use is applicable here ? The term is " We do not see it as need to own " ...... Thankyou for your terrific service .....
