Q: You use the term the current market craziness a few times for the fall in high growth companies. I feel the same market craziness could have been for the same high growth companies at the top of the market and there valuations. I think the market is finally taking these companies to the value that they actually are.

Q: Dear 5i team.

Please provide updated analysis of recent earnings and outlook for FY22/23.
Interested in any views on the departure of the CEO. I missed the conf call so also curious if there was any update on the battle with investor agitators?

Looks to me like things might be turning the corner given covid being more and more in the rear view mirror. I know they depend on commercial (re)construction which have been postponed/delayed last couple of years.

Thanks for your insights.

Q: I would like to know how much cash you think someone should hold all the time. I do not believe in being fully invested all the time, because then you lose out on buying opportunities during major dips, as we are seeing now.

Do you recommend keeping 10% 15% or 20% of the total portfolio value in cash?

Thank-you

Q: Hi 5i Team - Trilogy has been drifting steadily downward and recently dropped substantially, apparently due to some news about the Ambler Access Project. Could you explain the concern that this has caused. Also could you provide an update on the company itself, its fundamentals and potential. I have been holding this stock for some time now for its copper resources and need to decide whether to switch to something else in the same field. If you feel there are better possibilities, could you provide two or three suggestions. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and team, I don't hold any of the above stocks and they have done very well the last 2 years. I do own some of your favorites like BAM, TOI, CUS, SHOP and LSPD etc. How would you rank the above stocks and would they be good buy when the dust finally settles.

Regards
Anthony

Q: Good morning 5i
I am well diversified in my portfolio and so i am looking to buy opportunistically into this dip. So sectors don’t matter. What do you see as the best opportunity currently? Also, your analysis tells me that i need more weight outside of Canada and the US. With this turmoil would Europe be a good choice. If so, what etf would you use?
Thanks

Q: Could you provide the % age of the bottom line for these co's that is generated by renewables vs hydrocarbons?
Also if possible could you provide their strategic focus - capital investment % on renewables vs hydrocarbons?

I may have the incorrect BAM listed and I may have missed a key player in this domain.

Thank you
