Q: When I was awarded shares of PMZ I entered them into the program with a book value at the current share price, but in reality, I did not pay for the shares. Conversely the HR.UN became a 20% + loss. I'm wondering if this is okay or should the PMZ shares have gone in at 0 book value or the HR value be reduced to accurately reflect the performance of the portfolio.

Q: I started looking at NVO and I saw that you said it had a PE of 37X in answer to a question about it in December (2021). Yet TD (webbroker) shows earnings of about $50 going forward and not much less in the past year. So i was wondering where you got the number of 37X - should it be closer to 10X? What am I missing?

Q: Hi!
In The Globe recently:
"On March 4, chair of the board of directors Bill Holland bought 50,000 shares at a price per share of $20.20 for an account in which he has indirect ownership (WH Corp.), increasing this particular account’s position to 1,325,000 shares. The cost of this purchase exceeded $1-million.
Last month, we reported that Mr. Holland invested over $4.4-million in shares of CI with the purchase of 200,000 shares between Feb. 3 and Feb. 23.
Mr. Holland is CI’s former chief executive officer.
The company pays its shareholders a quarterly dividend of 18 cents per share or 72 cents per share yearly, equating to a current annualized yield of approximately 3.7 per cent."
What would you value CI right now on a per share basis?
Given the present investing environment would full position be a good idea?
Is management trustworthy and effective?
Is the insider buying significant enough to copycat?
Thank you as always!

Q: Hi 5i, After close to a 40% drop, I’ve initiated a position in NVDA through CDRs. My avgerage cost is $22.75 as of today. I assume after this pop in an oversold market, the stock will retrace further as rates go up and earnings and the North American economies go down. I plan to increase my holdings at target prices in the underlying security. Is this a sound strategy?

Q: Some small charities don't have broker accounts so you can use : https://www.canadahelps.org/fr/
They take a small commission and give the net results to your favorite charity and you get the tax receipt from Canadahelps. I used it 2 times and works just fine.
