Q: Hello, XENE
Any info on this company? Doesn't appear to come up on the questions or the company profile sections of the 5i website. How would you approach investing in this company, if at all?

Q: Hi, what does Return on Equity can tell us? Is it an efficient indicator of stock long-term performance? e.g. MO's ROE is very high as 149%, but stock price is flat for many years, could you explain why? BTW, should I use ROA instead of ROE? Thank you for your great service!

Q: Hello team,

Which one would you add to at this point, and why? They are both very tiny positions but equally down from the time of purchase a year ago. I appreciate it if you can reflect on their financial situation right now, and say which one you expect to grow better. I am a moderate-to-high-risk-buy-and-hold investor. So, I love growthy stocks.

Thank you for your impeccable support.

Q: I received a message from my broker stating that I have three options regarding Redemption of these units, basically redeem or don't (and take part in the transition to Algoma, I guess).

1. Why would you need/use the redemption offer rather than sell on the exchange (at least while trading above the redemption price as it is at the moment)?

2. The message included this: WARNING: RESTRICTED, PRIVATE OR NON-QUALIFIED SHARES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN YOUR RBC DIRECT INVESTING INC. ACCOUNTS AND FOR REGISTERED ACCOUNTS MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO PENALTY TAX.

Does this actually apply to these units, or is it boilerplate?

Q: If you held Facebook, would you be concerned with the revelations coming out now from the whistleblower? Are you concerned that FB is going to be more heavily regulated in the future, which will impact revenues, and therefore share price?

I have a small gain as most of it has been wiped out. Not sure what to do with this one.

Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I was debating whether I should sell PLTR to buy MORE of either NVEI or LSPD. Which do you see having more long term potential here? Or should I simply keep holding PLTR? It is a little frustrating watching it go from being up 14% after hours last night to only 1% as I write this. Seems like nothing wants to move the needle anymore with PLTR. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Thanks to rising oil prices, I have cashed out of an oil stock at the original price paid 5 years ago. I feel lucky to have done so as this is a sector I wish to avoid. This makes my TFSA ( small part of total portfolios and is my fun money ) 50 % cash.
Knowing that momentum is important to you, what are your thoughts on the momentum of the S&P 500 ? The growthy small caps seem to be out of favour at the moment. Do I wait until market sentiment has changed back or look at other larger growth stocks ? Your 3 suggestions for a risk oriented TFSA is appreciated. Derek
