Q: Would appreciate your view of this SPAC Thoma Bravo Advantage -
same space as APPS and gaming, but at earlier growth stage, it would appear. Good credentials, growth and management, it would appear. How would you assess its potential as against more established players. Would you advise to establish initiating position, as complementary with APPS and U?

Q: NOC reported its 3rd qtr last week. It showed less revenue than a year ago but higher earnings and higher EPS. Yet the share price has tumbled. Is this a good entry point or is there something more worrisome going on ?

Q: greetings - as i move into retirement i have been taking a hard look at some of my portfolio. I inherited this stock many years ago and really haven't look at it too hard because of the nice US dividend. I need both us and cdn income in retirement. Given the high dividend how much risk is there. What are the downsides of continuing to own?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm not sure this is an appropriate question to ask but, here goes.
I was considering purchasing AMT for my TFSA and NonReg accounts.
Can you help explain the taxation issues I need to be aware of for each account. (capital gains and losses, distributions, dividends etc.
I understand that the taxation issues for a US REIT may be different from a US stock.
Thanks

Q: I have a 2/3 position in MDT whose share price has fallen much more than I expected due to a product recall. Was the said recall bad enough to warrant such a drop? I am tempted to top up my position. I hesitate, thinking there must be some bad news out there that I am unaware of. Is there?

MDT seems to have high trailing P/E probably due to elective surgery being postponed. Do you have the following: PEG; fwd P/E; ROE; ROCI ?

I also wonder if my views towards MDT are biased because I see it on the AAII dividend model portfolio; on a BAC top picks (issued a couple of weeks ago); and because it seems to have been a reasonably good dividend grower.

Q: It seems to me that going forward inflation worries are real. Assuming my thesis is correct, I have read that one way for investors to protect their portfolios is to buy companies with "pricing power". What exactly is pricing power and can you give me a list of Canadian and American companies that currently have the most pricing power.
