Q: Hello 5i team. I read with interest how contrary to steelmakers worldwide who are battening down the hatches, Stelco CEO Alan Kestenbaum is betting big on a renaissance in North American manufacturing and construction by making $110-million of investments with the goal of turning Stelco into North America's most efficient steel maker. Ballsy. I agree with him that the other side of this panedemic will see an onshoring of manufacturing capacity in North America. The biggest risk I see with this one is if Trump ever decided to re-impose the steel tariffs. At just over $6/share, do you see this stock as a buy for a semi-patient investor with a long time horizon? Also, how sustainable is the dividend?

Q: Can you tell me the significance of Fine Capital's investment today in Wildbrain. I think this could be a multibagger in a few years. I think Erin Bollengren has the skills, the experience and the drive to turn this ship around. I know many of us, including you, have been very disappointed in Wild, BUT
in your career, have you seen quite a few ships that were sinking and came back to life with a good change in management? It seems that he knows how to right a ship. I still think this is a valuable company for the likes of Disney, Amazon. Appreciate your comments. I'm in at $1.75, stock is now $1.20 and was .80 just two weeks ago when I was so tempted to double down on my conviction, but didn't. Kicking my butt!

Q: I have a small position in OGI.T. Bought it two weeks ago (2.40) thinking it Is one of the better names in the sector and will be a survivor. It has had its time in the past where they would report a good quarter but with no consistency. What is you’re opinion on this company and the sector in general. I can wait on it for a few years but the sector as a whole looks like a dumpster fire and knowing there are a lot of other places to go with the money I’m wondering if it makes any sense to wait it out?

Q: Hi team,

Calian just reported what looks like another strong quarter. They seem to be firing on all cylinders, ie 'Record quarterly revenue for the seventh consecutive quarter'. Thoughts?
How does this tech company compare/rank against some of 5i Canadian favourites?
Would you slowly initiate a position over the next 6 months?
The one downside I see is that their FY EPS forecast for 2020 vs 2019 does not seem overly convincing (seen on the 5i Companies page). Maybe the brokers have not adjusted things yet?
Their May 12 revised adjusted net profit and EBITDA per share numbers have been reduced but not sure if that is simply due to the increased share count. Is this a concern?

Cheers,
Steve
