Q: In the US Democrats have introduced legislation in both Congress and the Senate that would ban hedge funds, corporations, partnerships and REITs from buying and owning single family homes in the US. Does this pose a material threat to Tricon Residential? If this law were to not apply to Tricon, perhaps it is an opportunity for them as those on the wrong side of this law,would have to sell them within 10 years. Interested in your comments.

Q: Reading recent comments on Birchcliff Energy 5i didn’t think a dividend cut was imminent and you felt they would issue debt to fund the dividend if need be. Just curious as to the rationale for this opinion. Also, do you feel Bir is good buy at these reduced levels? Finally, In light of today’s dividend cut and significant drop is this company now a prime candidate for a takeover and if so then why?

Q: I expected an announcement from Flutter today about our PDYPF shares. Is there going to be a "forced sale" of our shares on Jan. 29 or will they be converted to the NYSE listed shares. What do we need to do if we want to retain the shares? If there is a forced sale, who pays the commissions? In short, what's happening that shareholders need to know?

Q: May I have your thoughts on SNPS and their acquisition of ANSYS? Since some shares are being issued to finance the purchase should I wait to see if the stock declines before taking the plunge? The market seems to like the purchase as SNPS's shares went up instead of declining when the deal was announced. The stock price was fairly steady until 2016 when it began a steep climb up, what changed? Or was it us, the buyers, whose attitude to their business changed? Is their business model very similar to NVDA or in a different niche?
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Thanks,
