Investment Q&A

Q: Any news on REAL? It has only one, which unfortunately is down for 8 months. It's basically at the same level since last February, while the real estate market it's booming. Something doesn't add up

Q: Hi 5i,

I am beginning to wonder about DND’s management. Can you explain why there was no press release in Canada or on their website about not pursuing the IDOX deal?

Does your opinion of DND change due to not acquiring IDOX.

Thanks
John

Q: What an unexpected surprise. Do you reccommend we sell the stock in the market place, now that it will find a bid or shall we hold for the cash takeout?

What is timing and price on the takeout?

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: DO YOU RECOMMEND BUYING OR SELLING

Q: Looks like BYD and DOL are both rallying into their earnings. I am expecting a good dividend increase from DOL but not sure what to expect from BYD. What does 5i think?
Also, do you think BYD can actually grow their stores by 700 over the next five years?
Thanks Keith

Q: Suppose an investor believes that the US Treasury market is at the end of its multi decade rise and likely to collapse within the next 1-3 years. Is there a low cost way to short US Treasuries you could recommend? If so then what about at different maturities? What would be your opinion about this strategy and its risk?

Q: Hello,
After the recent acquisition and subsequent stock jump, would you still keep SYZ in your portfolio or would sell it and replace it with something else? If the latter, what would a good replacement be in your opinion?
Thank you

Q: Hi,
I noticed other questions covering the fact GSY was added to the index and that we might expect a bit of pick up and / or increased volume with it. However, it seemed to drop fairly hard on Friday and I am wondering if I've missed something material here. Interested in your thoughts and as always appreciate the input! Thanks,
Dawn

Q: Hi 5i. I'm a new investor here. How much money do you recommend having to replicate the balanced model portfolio?

Q: I was contemplating CP for a month now as a mid risk reopening play for my non reg account, also since pipelines are under attack & on 5i's comments on the company. Saturday 11PM, I see their offer for a huge acquisition. My question: What does one do if still interested in the company and how would one proceed? Would you step in right away or would you let the story run and then see what happens considering they just entered negotiations and I guess an approval process by regulators of different countries?
Thank you for your help!

Q: After the recent 6 mil share offering at $5 , can you determine how many Class A shares are now outstanding and how much are controlled by insiders? Thanks

Q: It looks like the oil company is rebounding. Do u for see companies like RDS and XOM will be something to park the money for its dividend, or growth in the next 12 months.
Thank you as always.

Q: Do recent results for Solaris indicate that there may actually be a mine?

Q: I’m adding to a partially established portfolio (growth-oriented, long-term). I’m interested both in taking advantage of the recent tech downturn (although not too much, as I’m already somewhat tech-heavy) and in further diversifying. Two questions:

1. I own partial positions in the following securities and am looking to add more. Could you rank them in your order of preference for purchasing now? Any you’d avoid buying now?

WELL, SHOP, ATZ, STC, PHO, ENGH, KXS

2. I’m considering buying positions in the following new securities (not easily comparable, I know), with a view to diversity and growth, as well as US exposure. Could you rank them in order of preference for purchasing now? Any you’d avoid buying now?

BNS, SLF, PLC, MG, LAC, REAL, TFII, NVDA.US, ROKU.US, SQ.US

Thanks for your great work and please feel free to dock me for two questions.

Chris

With Visa's DOJ issue, would you stay the course and keep it, switch it for Mastercard to stay in the space or go totally elsewhere?
