Q: I am an income investor. Can you please explain, with falling interest rates, the risks associated to making a significant bet on Superior Plus Company (SPB). From my reading, the 9% dividend is well covered by earnings and the debt, though significant, is coming down. The company is making money with a largely captive audience and the day to day share price is largely irrelevant to me. With a 5 year, plus, horizon, I don’t get the low share price. Is this a poor man’s Enbridge?

Thanks for the help!!

Q: All three companies came out with decent financials and all are down significantly with these results. GSY was the best and it is down 7 dollars. What if they had been bad results. Seems like you cant win in this enviornment. I feel like cashing out everything and waiting. This was also during very good trading days after the collapse. Does this sound wise because of an impending slowdown.

Q: hi 5i,
NTR,T,MG? I own these blue chip laggards. can you recommend them as BUY,HOLD, or SELL please. If any are a sell, could you suggest a few replacement names (CDN) with similar dividend yield and more (hopefully) share price growth potential? I am fine holding all for long term if you think the weakness is just cyclical.
cheers, Chris

Q: Dear 5i team.

Now that NTR has announced, and results were not a disaster, at what price would you consider a full position. Last price I saw in the archives said 65 as good entry point. It's now sub 63, so .5 position now and add into weakness, or wait it out for now?
Appreciate your help.

Q: Previous answer: We think software may be the next area to move, with names like PLTR. There is some consolidation happening but we do not see AI as being 'over' as a theme.

Can you provide your three best ideas outside of Palantir and provide a brief summary of why you see growth? Please present in order from most to least conviction.

Thanks!

Q: Hi,
Enjoyed Chris and Zach's podcast. How come they chose PNG/TSU as their small caps and not some of your usual favourites like PRL or PAY . Also I am somewhat surprised that whilst PNG/TSU do get "airtime" in your Q&As, they don't make it in your small caps short list. You must have some rationale. Somewhat puzzled, that's all.

Q: Hi Peter…I see both SIS & NFI set 52 week highs today with NFI up 40% year to date. I have owned SIS for a number of years thanks to 5i, so thanks again! I also owned NFI about 10 years ago and sold my shares in stages generating a profit every time, and yes the profits shrank as time passed! I know you’re negative on NFI, but you also recommend buying stocks which set new highs. I’m considering selling my Super Micro and buying either NFI, SIS, MDA or SHOP. Of the 4 I have an existing position in SIS only. I believe I am an “aggressive” investor but Super Micro’s roller coaster ride is testing me. I have owned NVDA since 2017 which I consider to be a core holding. Maybe I don’t need to own 2 chip makers? I’m perplexed, could you give me some guidance?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Disappointed B2 Gold shareholder here. I have been extremely patient with B2 Gold but the share price has not rewarded that patience, though the dividend is nice. I am contemplating making a switch to Lundin Gold. What is your opinion of Lundin Gold and, realizing you can't speak to my personal situation, in general would you advocate such a switch?

Thanks as always for your expertise.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I listened to the Propel conference call yesterday and two things I found interesting: 1) their dividend payout ratio is 22-23%. They mentioned there lots of room for growth. 2) Fintech adoption in Canada is only around 14%; which is much lower than other western countries. What are your thoughts on PRL going forward?
Thank you for the great service.

Q: I have been adding to my positions in PRL around current levels thinking that the results looked good and future growth prospects were promising. So I thought.
Yet while I have been buying PRL shares I notice that there has been heavy selling of shares by company insiders. I realize that shares could be sold for various reasons by cooperate insiders but my sense is that selling by insiders around the current share price has been extreme. It does not appear to be a vote of confidence in future growth prospects by company insiders. What do they know that we do not? I would appreciate your comments. If insiders are heavily selling the shares at current levels, why should we be buying or holding the shares.

Q: Hi Team,

I am watching Gsy shares fall after beating on earnings. Any idea why the shares are selling off after what seems to be great results? Also ; has there been any speculation yet of who will get the new CEO role? And also do you feel it’s possible Mullins is leaving due to a possible upcoming “taking private “ of the company? I found it odd for him to leave at this stage just when Gsy seems to be growing its scale at an exponential rate. Thanks
