Q: Hi 5i,

Multiple related questions:

#1 - I believe the purchase of Encore Wire (WIRE) by Prysmian @ $290/share should be confirmed in the next few days. Do you know anything further about this?

#2 - Would you recommend selling WIRE at this time @ +/- $282/share or waiting for the deal to go through at $290/share? At what point after the sale are shareholders paid?

#3 - In looking for a like-minded company (electrification transition, green renewables etc.) I came across Atkore Inc. (ATKR). What are your current thoughts on this company for a 3 to 5 year hold?

#4 - Between MYRG, STRL, ATKR and PWR how would you rank them out of 10 (10 being the best) and in what order for a 3 to 5 year hold?

Thank you for your wisdom and guidance!

Q: I purchased AXON around $200 in a margin account, I'm paying 7% on the margin. Question, do I keep holding knowing that I need 7% return to break even or do you think it trades sideways until the next earnings report. Note: My Margin account only accounts for 10% of my portfolio. Thanks (I know short term is hard to predict.)

Q: Hi, Could you please help us understand why stock has been acting so poorly despite a supposedly strong earnings and the new drones acquisition. This is despite the fact that most analysts are bullish on the company and raised their price targets in the range of $345 to $375. As of today, stock is down over $30, post earnings. We like the story as 5i does, but are market expectations overblown and it's time to move on, before we start losing our capital ( ACB $290 ) ?

Thank You

Q: This US equity just reported and has corrected. The business model is similar to Couche Tard but it is much smaller. It pays a 10% dividend. If the share price drops under $20 I want to buy but would ask for your analysis on the company, ability to pay the generous yield, debt, guidance, valuation, etc. It seems to have a see-saw long term chart. Appreciate your opinion on a buy here.

Q: In regards to some of the companies that have gotten whacked after releasing their numbers (like Uber, Shopify, Hammand ect), what are a couple names that you think look the most likely to dust themselves off and move higher from here? Thanks

Q: Hi, Thank you for sharing your opinion on this Co, in the last response. The stock seems to be really cheap at 13X earnings. The stock took off nicely after last strong earnings and traded in $56-58 level ( from $46 pre earnings), but lost steam within a few weeks and now is trading even below that. I am curious as to what transpired causing the stock to shoot up 25% and then drop back quickly.

Everything seems to be there to love the stock at current levels and future growth !! What am I missing ?

Also, could you please share the street expectations for May 14 earnings.

Thank You

Q: Hello 5i Team

Are US "mortgage reits" similar to Canadian Mortgage Investment Corporations?

Could you please provide a few ideas of US mortgage reits for me to research?

These would be held in an US$ RRSP, to minimize any tax considerations.

Would the distributions be similar to US corporate dividends and not US MLP distributions (K-1 tax form) which are problematic to hold in RRSP accounts?

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,

Could you please provide commentary on the recent quarterly results from Sterling Infrastructure (STRL)?

Would you consider it a buy/sell/hold at its current price for a long term hold?

What other companies are comparable to it and would you recommend them over Sterling?

Thank you!!

Q: Hi Team,
This earnings season has seen many growth stocks , especially tech; get absolutely smashed for not exceeding expectations. This being said, would it be wise to sell some Nvda before earnings as I am overweight? I am wondering if this will be any other name that drops 20% because it didn’t beat analysts estimates quite enough ? Or do I just ride the wave being my investment time frame is 10yrs plus?

Thoughts ?
