Q: I am looking for safety with essentially no downside but a return greater than a 6 month GIC (hoping for better in 2021). A Dynamic Alpha Performance II Fund Series A - FE has been recommended (not sure which series actually). I am skeptical given the high MER. I would very much appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Q: I'm looking to convert a RESP invested in mutual fund (chorus II agressive growth) to lower fees and menage it more actively. Kids are 5 and 2 years old.
I was thinking to diversify with 3 or 4 ETF for 70% of this portfolio. What are your thoughts about a combinaison of VFV, XIC, XIT, ZQQ and DXG for long term? Do you have better suggestions?
Althought, is investing in XIT and ZQQ and DXG a good idea on short term since tech valuation is already high at this moment compared to other sectors?
For the rest of portfolio (30%), i would go with stocks. What would be your top 4 on short term (next 6-12 months) and on long term?

Q: Hi 5i,
Can I get your thoughts on the recent acquisition of Clarion Medical Technologies.
I'm afraid I don't see how this fits in with the companies current business.
Has the company given guidance that they were interested in this type of business?
thanks

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
What do you think about there restructuring plans while under bankruptcy protection? Do they have a chance of surviving. Will the stock remain a penny stock or might it have a little bounce here based on "a wing and a pray"?
Is zero inevitable or am I being too pessimistic?
Thanks for your opinion!

Q: Hi there, in the context of unintended consequences I find that Roots shareholders may benefit in the near to mid term. Closing stores(unfortunately appears to help their business model profitability) and having their new D.C. (e-commerce channel)become more reliable and more efficient is beneficial. Strong brand and quality product all looking good. Is their balance sheet and liquidity strong enough to come out the other end of the Covid crisis? Thx Chris
Q: Last question for today.
Is this a company with good growth potential and financially sound. Are there other companies that are competing directly against them or they have a niche approach?

- Sienna Senior Living Inc. (SIA)
- NorthWest Healthcare Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (NWH.UN)
Q: Would you consider NWH.UN a reasonable replacement for SIA as an income stock. I sold SIA early last week. Thanks
Q: What are your top 5 dividend stock ideas? Perhaps ones that haven't rebounded yet that have a good yield, or that have had recent results that showed resiliency and have room to run. For example, you have been been right in recommending BEP.UN, however, it has had a big run. Do you carte blanche keep recommending even after it's big run or is there a better relative buy?
Q: Hi 5i
After Zscaler earnings today and subsequent jump in share price, would you consider current price as reasonable entry point into the stock? How do you view the future for this company.
Thx

Q: What one would you buy today for long term hold, total return in 5-10 years. Hard to imagine CU having any trouble continuing to grow the dividend with one of the longest track records in Canada. Already own FTS,AQN,BEP in other accounts this would be for an alternate account or should I just stick with adding more of the 3 already owned.
Thank you
Thank you

Q: In view of the GBT acquisition, expected increase in revenues, what would be a fair price based on the industry average PE ratios, at the end of 2020 ? Do you think GUD will remain in the dog house for investors much longer ? I would have thought the GBT acquisition would have have changed investor sentiment, but clearly has not. What needs to happen to move the stock ?
Thanks
Thanks
Q: Hello Gentlemen,
Yes, I know it's extensive but these are my holdings in the REIT space. Most of these I collected from positive questions over the months and years in the 5i Q&A section of the site.
The world has changed greatly and the handsome paper profits on many of these holdings became flat at best and major losses at worst. The combined names account for 13% of my total holdings and of the 13%, 80% of these are held in our RRIF's.
I don't trade REITS I usually buy and hold. However given how the world has changed and will change further in the office segment, the residential renting segment, etc etc, could you take a long hard look at them and tell me very frankly which you would sell and if there are any I am not holding that you would replace the 'sell' ones with. Although I think my holdings are broad enough.
Would appreciate your frankness.
Here is what I hold in the REIT segment and whether I am positive or negative on each holding.
TCN (-14%), NWH (+10%),BRE (-40%),CAR (-3%),DIR (-26%),HR(-58%),IIP(+11%),SMU (+13%),KMP(-1%),SRU (-40%), SIA, WPTIF

Q: Hi 5i,
Could I get an updated opinion? It looks on the cusp of a new high.

Q: Hi,
What is your valued opinion of Kneat these days?
The last question on Nov 2019 indicated the sales valuation at 12x was concerning. Has that number come down enough for you to be more favourable as a spec buy.
They recently had another good quarter (Q1) with good % increases (albeit likely from a small base). They seem to be signing a number of contract wins last few quarters and I like that it is a SaaS based revenue model company.
Who might their other competitors be in this field? And any idea what their market penetration might be, for the competitors or for Kneat?
It would be for a spec buy and to initiate a 1/3 position.
Cheers,
Steve
