Q: Hi 5i Research Team:

I have traded Forex before and am new to stock trading. 90% of my RRSP, RESP and TFSA is in cash and I'd like to avail the current market conditions by "gradually" buying the dips.. and holding it over the long term, 5 to 10 years. I understand that no one can time the market or its bottom.

After exploring the reports and questions on your site, I have identified the enclosed 29 stocks based on following criteria:
- Current Retracements of > 75% over 52 week high & low
- Dividend Yield > 5% (in some cases, like WEED, which is a bit risky, I understand there's no dividend in the near term.. and I am simply going for the upside swing over the next 2 years... same for CRON and Air Canada)

Considering my 90% cash position and strategy to partially buy in on dips over the next few weeks, can you please advise if my stock selection is sound. In addition to my stock picks, please advise anything else that I should keep in mind.

Thanks for everything you do. Much appreciate.

Q: Just a follow up to my last question. I would assume that if the government mandated a short term rent holiday that land lords would also be made “whole” with respect to interest liabilities and wage compensation. Not to mention that this is a very short term need 1-3 months... is this not an over reaction for a company that has portfolio of long life income generating assets? I’m just wondering if I should average down. Thanks again.

Q: Tricon announced results and to my untrained eye they look pretty good. One statement in the release caught my eye and am wondering as to the meaning of it. Below is the excerpt.

"In January, 2020, the company substantially completed its transition to an owner and operator of diversified rental housing in North America and therefore ceased to be an investment entity under IFRS 10.

As a result, effective Jan. 1, 2020, the company will begin to consolidate the financial results of controlled subsidiaries, including its investments in single-family rental homes, U.S. multifamily rental properties and certain Canadian multifamily rental properties, resulting in the introduction of these subsidiaries' assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests to the balance sheet of the company. Similarly, these subsidiaries' income and expenses will be reported on the company's statement of comprehensive income, together with the non-controlling interests' share of income.

The company continues to assess the impact on its consolidated financial statements of ceasing to be an investment entity, and final conclusions have not yet been made. The anticipated changes are material and will be applied on a prospective basis.

What does the fact that the company is no longer an investment entity under IFRS 10 and subsequent balance sheet changes mean for the company. Is this good or bad

Thanks Kenn
