Q: Happy New year 5I. This is my first question of 2023. DPM had a big pop yesterdday. i guess that the press release about a juicy find in their Serbian property was the reason for the sharp rise in share price (60isb grams over 40 meters sounds pretty good but you ex-Sprott guys should know better than me,) So my questions are: Are those drill results in Serbia as good as they sound to me? and Does a release of good drill results usually lead to sustained strong share price? (My observation is that interest wanes when the next company announces some shiny drill results!) I like DPM for their net cash balance sheet, two profitable mines in Bulgaria, the copper smelter in Namibia, and now this potential in Serbia. I wish they had not invested in the property in Equador but it is too late now. I sold half my postion in DPM. Should I keep the rest and get out now that 52 week share price is near the high point?

Q: I hold convertible debentures from Invesque IVQ.DB.V, maturing 30 Sept of this year, but which are only trading at 80 cents on the dollar. This seems to indicate that there is a substantial risk of default. In your opinion will I get my principal back or will I be given newly-issued and hence highly diluted IVQ shares? Thanks!

Q: How would you rank these. What would the rationale be for the ranking. Housing affordability seems to be a market issue as well as not enough supply. Are these all buys with the macro backdrop?

Q: Hi 5iresearch
I am in a loss position with the above stocks. They represent a very small size of my portfolio. Which ones would have a good chance for recovery in the next 12 months? I am trying to determine which ones I should sell to allocate to other shares with better chances. You can give %s for their recovery in the next 12 months.
Thank you

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

With global liquid fuels production expected to increase by over a million barrels per day in both 2023 & 24, would you be bullish on new positions in the O&G sector. And if so, which would be your recommended name(s) based on growth with some dividend?
I am considering BTE & CNQ.

Thanks for all you do?

Q: WSP has been a strong performing investment and a long time favorite, both for 5I and for me. The current P/B is over 3.6, and while it has historically had a higher than average P/E, it currently shows a P/E of 46.

Do you believe these matrices show it is as becoming over valued?

Also, the Price to Cash Flow is 28.1 while Price to Free Cash Flow is -8.60. Can you please explain what these matrices reflect for companies in general, and how do you see what seems to be a significant difference in these measures?

Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: In many cases buying the top 3-5 stocks of an index gives a better end result than the whole index since you don't have to drag the less performing.
1-Do see the same apply to the S&P500?
2-In a 3% (normal?) fed rate what is the normal multiple for the S&P500?
3-What is the current forward PE for the S&P500?
4-How does this apply when the top 5 holdings are technology with higher multiples than the banks and oil companies?
Many questions but one goal, trying to put the dry powder in an optimal manner.

Thank you
