Q: Hi 5i

I have a 4% position in ABST and 4% position in SYZ. Looking for both income and growth. I'm considering selling all my ABST and buying more SYZ. (Dividend is higher for the latter) Is there any reason to continue to hold ABST or would the above trade make sense?

Thanks guys
Ken

Q: Hi, there is a lot of love for TDOC and it has grown quickly. I used to own it but sold, and am revisiting and researching the name. The main concern I have is reports that whales like Amazon and Wallmart, etc. are moving into the area of digital health. Amazon Care in particular, while currently a pilot project in Washington for Amazon employees, could expand if they see potential. Since TDOC is at a very high multiple to sales, I question the risk/reward here, can you please comment on your perspective? Would this risk also apply to WELL, which I own?

Q: Hi,
I realize pre-IPO questions are challenging to answer but here goes. I've been reading about Telesat's plans to go public on the NASDAQ later this year "looking to raise new capital for its ambitious multibillion-dollar plan to launch hundreds of low-Earth orbit satellites." They will be used to provide high speed internet. This will put it in direct competition with Elon Musk's Starlink and Jeff Bezo's Kuiper Project, reportedly at half the cost (~$5B vs. ~$10B each for the others). Do you have any very early comments on the opportunity?
Thank you, Michael

Q: Hi 5i team,
I have XBC in my TFSA with a 50% loss. As you mentioned before, it probably will take about a year for the company to prove itself. There won’t be much upside for this stock in the near future. In order to put the money to better use, I’m going to sell XBC now and use the proceeds to purchase another company hopefully at the cusp of positive move. I’m thinking of ATA / EGLX / MCR from the Growth Portfolio. I’m looking for high revenue growth and strong cash flow. Which of these do you think have the most upside potential in the next 12 months and why or would you suggest another name? Thanks.

Q: I'm looking at the rebound in these tech and consumer discretionary stocks and wondering whether you have a preference for some of these companies over others. Could you please rank your favourites based on risk/reward to buy now, and would you recommend trading any to exchange for others? I have holdings in most.

Thanks for your thoughtful review.

Q: Does CSU maintain an economic interest in Topicus? Based on my review of the final long form prospectus for Topicus and insider reporting it looks like CSU holds voting control and a significant number of pref shares in Topicus. What I'm trying to confirm is whether I need to buy Topicus to obtain exposure to its growth or whether as a CSU holder I will already have some exposure.

Q: Hello to all of you

MDF Commerce announced another bought deal on February 23 at 14.50 per share, the deal is now closed, what do you think about it?

I have had a fairly large position in this company for the past 5 years and am in a slight loss right now, I am wondering if I should continue to be patient with it, I saw in other questions and answers that you didn't like this company that much. I am a new trial member and I have to say I really like what I find with you.

Thank you very much.

Forgive me if my English is poor.

Q: Hello,

I sold my shares in Alphabet a few months back (which I now regret!) and have some U.S. cash sitting in my RRSP account. I have purchased SBUX and MSFT but want to add some U.S. holdings. I am near retirement, however have a DB pension plan so I can tolerate average to above average risk. I would appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you!

Q: I have held CVS for approx. 6 months and virtually it is flat. There have been many recommendations from the street however I have 22,000.00 which seems to be dead money. Should I sell and buy some tech stock like Oracle or Taiwan semiconductor. Do you have a suggestion other than these 2?
Cheers, Doug
