Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I know you like GOOG, and am wondering if the following story is further reason to buy some/more, and perhaps a reason to lighten up on MSFT?

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: I hold SPOT and have been adding to my position on current weakness. Their earnings took a hit recently but they also acquired DigiGeoData which looks like a good move to me. They are profitable at this size and can scale quickly. I'm surprised that it continues to fall past the 70 cent mark and hit 64 cents today to make the p/e of 9x, p/book of 2 and price to sales under 8x. The fundamentals look great to me - am I missing something?

Q: Hi 5i,
Was looking to add to my half position of FTS and came across this news.... heading.....

"Veritas Downgrades Fortis to Sell from Buy, Keeps CA$57.50 Price Target."

Can you provide any insight on why they would consider FTS a sell and would you agree?
Would you be comfortable adding at this price for 2-3 yr hold or would you wait for maybe better entry point?

thx
Jim

Q: If a dividend or distribution is declared in December 2021 but payed in January 2022, is the revenue taxable in 2021 or 2022?. I think 2022 but I might be wrong. Thanks.

Q: I was seriously underweight in the health care sector in my portfolio, so this year's TFSA contributions (mine & spouse's) went to NBLY & AND.
Obviously 6 weeks is a ludicrously short time to evaluate performance, and these two investments only constitute a tiny fraction of my overall portfolio, but can you provide some assurance that these remain reasonable investments? Especially in the context of being the only direct health care exposure. Both are down substantially, NBLY esp. down almost 30%. Did I just happen to pick a bad time to buy?
NBLY results reported this morning didn't look that bad?

Q: Dear 5i team.

Looking to add to my SYZ position, but have a couple of questions.

1) Why do you show NR in your recent portfolio update as at Feb 10 but your March 21 co. report you gave it a B+?

2) Who are it's competitors and please give a brief comparison in terms of where SYZ fits on the list if stack ranked?

3) Would it make sense for them to acquire any of them in terms of synergies?

I am considering adding to my position given the market weakness and the stock current negative momentum, but wanted your input first.

Many thanks.
