Q: Has 5i screened for US-listed shares that are likely to be candidates for tax-loss selling now to end of year 2024? Has 5i done a blog or magazine article or other post identifying US-companies that you would consider attractive to buy? I assume that such a screen would exclude US companies that are being sold off for reasons other than tax-loss harvesting. Thank you. :ao:sab

Q: Hi There,

Could you please comment on the differences between these 2 companies including software product/services, revenue and profit growth going forward, acquisition strategies, overall valuation.

Is it prudent to own both for growth in a diversified portfolio or too much overlap?

Ok thanks so much!

Q: In this morning's Globe and Mail David Rosenberg made the case to move into cash in an article titled "It's time to move into cash. Even most bonds and commodities have become too risky". What do you think of this strategy?

Q: Good afternoon 5i staff
To a question concerning the possibility of inflation and David Rosenberg’s reaction to that, you said:

For Canada, we like XSB, and for the US we like SHY.

I hope I am not quoting you out of context here. But, I was wondering whether you were saying that ´supposing ‘ an inflationary environment, we would choose these. Or, whether you meant that we would be facing an inflationary environment and these would be the best choice. In other words, in your opinion, which would be the best choice for today for a permanent allotment to bond funds, short term or longer, such as xsb and agg.?
Thanks

Q: I'm trying to get my head around EQB . I've read 5i's analysis of the company but the part I don't understand is why would " Joe Sixpack " go to them for a car loan or to renew their mortgage rather than one of the big six ? ...... Not to mention I suspect " Joe Sixpack " has never heard of them . I also don't understand why or what a Credit Union would use them for ? ..... Could 5i explain just who their market is ? And why using EQB would be more attractive than a mainstream financial institution ? Thanks for your terrific service .......

Q: Hello,
Can I get your evaluation of the current circumstances. Since November 11th these stocks have dropped significantly all while bitcoin has increased significantly from that same date. It does not seem like their share price is directly correlated with the price of bitcoin which is odd as they mine bitcoin.
Thank you

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I know you don't like to predict and set price targets. But with VRT/NVDA on a tear, surely one has to have a floor and a ceiling price target? I know they are your high conviction long term favorites.

I ask this question with a specific trade strategy on mind. Take a position with say 200 shares. Write a call, just one contract each. Even if one gets called away, I will have the other 100 shares to capture the price appreciation.

Any words of wisdom on this strategy? Price targets?

Thank you for your answer.

Q: With brokers now offering partial shares, it seems that I can purchase U.S. stocks as CDRs or as partial shares.

Please compare these options in terms of liquidity, fees or other considerations.

Q: Hi team ,
Clbt has really jumped from the $17 up to the $20 level just in the last couple days . Do you feel if a person wanted to buy some shares we should now wait for a pullback day ? Or do you feel it might just keep going higher? Was there any news that would explain the big jump in the last few days?

Thanks ,
Shane
