Q: I thought I could rely on the earnings calendar of the TMX Money web site (tmxmoney.com), but numerous times I have found it is not complete. Example: As I write this at 8pm EST on May 5th, it does not list KXS earnings on May 6th, yet my RBC Direct Investing calendar shows KXS reporting earnings on May 6th.

In the TMX Money web site they do list whether the earnings will be released before markets open, or after markets close (good); whereas the RBC Direct Investing calendar does not tell me that information (bad).

Isn't TMX Money owned by TMX Group (that runs the TSX)? If that is the case why would their earnings calendar be so incomplete (and therefore unreliable)?

Do you know of a (free) RELIABLE web site that has an accurate earnings calendar?

Q: Unfortunately I bought shares in AYX in February, near its all time high and have experienced a significant loss. It is off its deepest low since March but even with a 5% increase today it is presently still below its best recovery since then. What is your view on its prospects for when the economy solidifies to a recovery - is theirs the sort of product line that will attract good business? Is there reasonable prospect for upside? I see an answer to a question today referred to it having high risk; is there more down side than upside? If you were me, would you move on? And if so, what would be something with more potential and less risk (I know, those sometimes are seen to be mutually exclusive, but perhaps there is something)? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hello 5i Team
Northview REIT (NVU) has issued the Management Information Circular for the proposed takeover of NVU by Starlight and Kingsett Capital at a price of $36.25.
Please advise on the following questions:
1 - As no other offer came forward during the go shop period, I am assuming the $36.25 per unit offer will be the best and final offer current shareholders will receive.
2 - Which is the best option to select: OPTION 1 —ALL-CASH ELECTION or OPTION 2 —HIGH YIELD FUND SUBSCRIPTION ELECTION and if Option 2 is selected which percentage of the Unit Election should be selected (refer to the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form).
3 - Reviewing the Management Information Circular, the High Yield Fund looks like the original Northern Properties REIT prior to the 2015 takeover of the True North Apartment REIT. Essentially it looks like Starlight Capital (Mr. Drimmer) is buying back what they sold in 2015. What is 5i's view on this?
4 - I noticed Credit Suisse Securities (Canada), Inc. has become a 9.95 % holder of NVU - do you think they are playing the arbitrage between their purchase price and the offer price?
Thank you
