Q: I have noticed MAL stock price moving upward a bit. I am seeing a $16 price target. I've been waiting patiently for this stock to recover so I can sell it, since it cut it's dividend. What is your 6-12 month outlook on it? I bought it just under $10 - would you continue to wait until I can realize my price, even make a small profit or sell? Thanks so much.

Q: I'm thinking of replacing my MAL shares with MDA for about a 2 to 2.5% position . { MAL is currently 1% so it would be a position size increase but still on the small side } ..... I notice the market cap of MDA is three times the size of MAL as well ..... It looks to me like MAL is a recovery play and MDA is a growth play. Could 5i give me a brief outlook on the short term and long term prospects of both and your preference between the two companies ? And whether a term I often see 5i use is applicable here ? The term is " We do not see it as need to own " ...... Thankyou for your terrific service .....

Q: I'm interested in your thoughts on the quality of the management at these companies. All are negative in my portfolio at this point. Could you rank them by below average, good(average) and above average?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I have sold MG at the top, is it a buy at this level? the stock momentum is good, car sales are on the upward momentum in the US.

You have B+ rating on MAL, do you still feel positive after the last Q?

Would you add to an existing TIXT (loss position at this point) at this level representing now only 1% of my portfolio (given your B+ rating for the company)?

Q: This stock has been a tough ride for me. Bought it for income and some growth as my only exposure to the defense sector. The dividend cut and share price decline leaves me thinking its time to sell and move into another defense stock with higher growth opportunity. Would you agree, and if so, any recommendations with similar dividend, or one that at least has a dividend (held in RSP).

Thank you.

Q: I'm going to increase my position in either MAL or AND { both at around 1.2% position } to somewhere around 2.5% ..... Which of the two does 5I prefer at today's prices ? ..... Can you comment on AND's earnings report ...... And problems with increasing rents, hiring drivers, and fuel prices going forward ? ...... Simply Wall Street claims MAL's earnings are set to grow 106.9% per year for the next three years. That's a pretty hefty increase in earnings ....And that the dividend is not well covered by earnings ..... Can you confirm this ? ..... Thanks for your great service. Garth
