Q: Hello 5i,
How would you rank these "cloud kings" for growth over the next few years?

Q: Abt
Excellent results by Absolute, new management is doing a great job.....and then the news of a big contract with a very large US schooldistrict.
Everything is lining up for a takeover here.....I am convinced that this will happen sooner than later.
Stadium Capital has a 15% stake and the new CEO sold a company to BlackBerry before.
Is there a chance that ABT comes back in your portfolio?

Q: What is your opinion on these two Enbridge capital structures? ENS, although riskier, offers currently a higher dividend than the issue price. I could not find the current value of the preferred shares.
Thank you for your input!

Q: Hi folks,
Do you see ATE's bought deal positively because the company is setting the stage for Phase 3 development, or negatively because the company has yet to attract big pharma interest? Would you consider the current price weakness a buying opportunity or just another dilution?
Thanks,
Glen

Q: I bought Fiera some time ago and am at a loss, but, do appreciate the dividend being paid. I am a senior, very conservative investor and a "buy and hold" investor to a serious fault. Please advise if the dividend is sustainable. Should this be sold or can I buy more to bring my cost down? I know you are not a fan of averaging down. Please suggest other stocks that provide a good dividend and have a favourable outlook.
Thank you for your great service.
