Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!!!! I recently purchase APPS and am now down 42.3%. Ouch! I am usually a buy and hold type of gal, but this was quite a drop over a short period of time. Is it just the rotation out of the tech sector or is there something wrong with the company? Would it be prudent to take a loss to offset another gain, and buy back at a later date?? January say...
Thank you for all your wisdom!! Tamara

Q: Thank you for your recent tax loss opportunities list. I have been interested in Well for some time and am considering for just such an opportunity. I have also been looking closely at cloudMD. It looks like Well is forecasted to become profitable before cloudMD but the latter remains a compelling opportunity having dropped in price further with an excellent balance sheet and forecast earnings. Which security do you prefer and why

Q: Long time holder of NPI, wondering what your thoughts would be on a switch to BEP.UN. The fact it is one of the few stocks you have rated as an 'A' is a huge vote of confidence, as well as being a Brookfield company, more diversified, larger market cap, slightly higher yield.

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi, is it a good time to add to CDN banks, with expectation of higher rates and trend for returning capital to shareholders. If so, which ones will you consider as winners, over next several years ? Could you rate them, in order of priority ? in the same token, do you have a particular view on CIBC as the dividend yield and P/E ratio seem to be most attractive in the group ? Thank You
