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

Q: Dear 5i team.

Please provide an updated view of FLOW given recent Q results reported.
It's fall from IPO to current penny stock status is alarming. What ,in your view, does the Founder/now CEO need to do to right this ship and get the stock back to IPO levels? Can you give us a sense of the numbers they need to achieve to make this a possibility?

Many thanks for your insights.

Q: After selling ENGH yesterday, I am reviewing the above holdings and only want to keep stocks that have a potential to generate decent future income, over the next 5 years or may be acquired by another company. These are long-term holdings and I don't need the cash, but could use the tax loss. Don't want to sell any company with a positive future. Any of the above holdings that you would sell now?
Thanks!

Q: I have been considering an investment in SYZ to replace my MAL shares .... After reading your report and previous answers it looks to me like I would be getting a company with revenue growth in 2022 of 43% and for 2023 of 80% while collecting a juicy close to 7% dividend .... But a couple of things give me pause .... First Simply Wall Street { link included at the end of the question } claims earnings will decrease by 32.4% per year for the next three years . I am having a hard time reconciling how how revenue will have those lofty growth numbers while simutaneously earnings will decline rather nastily ..... Could you explain please ? And comment on the other risk factors Simply Wall Street cites ? .... Also in another recent question 5I commented that SYZ was susceptible to both inflation and recession more than a list of other companies the member asked about ..... Could you elaborate on that thesis ? .....Thanks for your great service ......

Q: I have TCL.a in a tax-deferred account and show a significant loss — 50.1% below my cost. I cannot use the tax loss. I follow only US shares , and 95% of my folio is in US-listed companies. I do not follow Canadian markets at all and was therefore wondering why on earth I bought this awful entity.

I have no clue EXCEPT since I would buy Canadian shares only if suggested by 5i or if the security appeared in the 5i portfolio.

Was this company EVER in the 5i folio? (I do not check the Q & A section; too many questions contain a bewilderingly long—very long— list of symbols that make it tediously difficult to read).

On TCL.a I checked reports from RBC-DI , iTRADE, Thompson Reuters, Research Team, StockCalc, StockReports, CFRA and several others. RBC is the only analyst that does NOT hate it.

When I took a closer look at TCL.a , I find it has a horribly, outdated business model. It has done nothing for years, and share price has gone only down. No analyst seems to have a clue how this ancient business model can ever work.

What do you think of TCL.a ? It does not matter that I find it maddening, meaning please disregard my prejudices and my frustration with myself for buying, then holding, something I didn’t take time to review. I am looking for a fresh independent opinion.... a very FRESH opinion from you, AFTER it reports tomorrow (June 8).
