Q: I bought the dip in MED after their last earnings call. I am currently down around 20%. It looks like it has stabilized somewhat, and might be on an uptrend. I was thinking of adding to my position, although I'm a bit hesitant to do it before their earnings call on Nov 4.
What's the best thing to do in this situation? Buy some now, and possibly add more after earnings come out? I know you like the stock. This is for my TFSA.

Thank you for all that you do.

Q: BAM.A is up 45.5% YTD. Is there anything you know of that would push BAM.A higher in the next 6 months?

This is one of those tricky / annoying timing questions! BAM.A is currently 8% of all our accounts, so I was thinking of selling 1% to boost our dividend income in an unregistered account. We have some losses from previous years to soften the capital gains.

Thanks!

Q: Can you give me your opinion on todays announcement of an acquisition and a stock offering. They say it will be accretive, yet I can' help but think it will be dilutive.

Also they say there will not be another offering before mid 2022 - Does this mean they will be making another acquisition?

Are they using the offerings in part to cover the dividends?

This is a stock I bought for the dividend, but expected some growth and safety. I actually have a small capital gain, but the stock has done very poorly over the past year, although I know the pandemic has been a severe negative factor.

They say that this acquisition means that 80% of the company will be regulated - why do some analysts talk about this as a renewable energy company?

Should I dump it?

Q: Good day 5i Team, What's up with OSFI? The Canadian banks have been quite conservative during the pandemic but OSFI won't release them to give investors the dividend increase? They were heralded as the world's safest banks during the Great Financial Crisis, but somehow they will be last to increase dividends this time?. Even the banks in the EU and UK are released from holding additional funds. Do you have any good conspiracy theories? Keep up the great work and appreciate all you do for the little guys.

Q: My question is more about safety and minimizing some risk. Hypothetically, if there was a market correction of say 20%, which of the above would be the safest in terms of net change (dividends and share price) say 6 months and 1 year later? I realize there are many issues with this question (they are all different, the need for crystal ball or time machine, etc) but I really value your thoughts. Thanks again!
