Q: Hello 5i team,
I greatly enjoyed your report on Covid 19 and investment themes. I have a pretty good idea as to 10 to 20 names of stocks that could fit into those themes.
Could you name just 10; I'd be curious to see how close I am.
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hi team,
What is your current view on this company? It has had excellent drilling success, pays a 5% annual dividend, has it's debt level under control.I am thinking long term, that is three years. Do you think that their shares are undervalued and would it be appropriate to add for a long term, three year time horizon?
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: I ran across this company by pure chance. Other rating sites describe this company as having "excellent growth potential with flawless balance sheet". What is your perspective? Am I "behind the times" by finding its Pink Sheet status problematic?

Q: Hi 5i , Thanks for all the recent guidance on stock picks in your flash report.
I read an article stating that Cruise booking for 2021 is already 40% more than 2019 bookings.
My question is which of the cruise companies have least dept and in a position to survive this downturn.

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan.
I am not surprised that the stock market (especially in the US) rebound nicely. However, I have deep concern that the US is going reopen its Economy quickly. I think they will make the Economy worse if they reopen too early without mitigation plans. (e.g. testing, isolation, tracking for broader population). I also concerned about the magnitude of QE everywhere in the world. I am NOT a fan of gold. I don't believe its value. The bond yield is historical low and next to negative. I feel there is nothing I can invest safely. I would like to place 30% of my retirement fund into something safe with a long term growth that can beat inflation at least. I feel I am stuck with the stock market. What is your opinion?

Q: Good Evening
RATE RESET PREFERRED SHARES
The interest rate on rate reset preferred shares is set every five years by adding to the spread the interest rate of the 5 years Canadian government bond.
What happens if the the 5 years government bond is set at a negative rate?
For instance, the interest rate spread on BAM.PR.Z is 2.96%.
On December 31, 2022 a new interest rate will be set for BAM.PR.Z. Lets assume that the interest rate on the 5 years Government bond is negative on December 31, 2022 at -.5 %.

Will the new rate on BAM.PR.Z be 2.46% (2.96 minus .5) or will be set at 2.96% ??
Thank you for your help during these difficult times.
