Q: I'm guessing 5i has a substantial number of clients now and I am wondering if that is a factor in issuing a sell recommendation on a stock when a major event happens? For example, would Peter have " done nothing " as a portfolio manager when SHOP was attacked as was instructed to 5i member's? In no way is the a question on integrity or a lack of respect, I'm a 5i member for life!

Q: On Oct 13 a question referred to a 'forever stock' with CNR being one pick, what are some of the others?
Q: Seems to me management has not done a very good job in providing shareholders with any comfort during the short attack. The only mention from media I've witnessed has been a name calling tweet and "wait till later" for explanation, have I missed anything? Even with the decline I'm still a very happy shareholder, buying more on the way up, letting run to a 9% position and thankfully selling down to a less than full position. Much credit goes to 5i for teaching me these skills, thank you!
Q: Boardwalk REIT constitutes about 13% of my TFSA and I am essentially breakeven on the stock having bought some at low prices in 2009 and more at a very high price in 2015. Your comments that it is a hold for dividends troubles me since although currently an excellent dividend I want either higher dividends or capital gains in the long term i.e. in 10 years or so. Do you see it continuing to tread water for 10 years or do you see a rebound in stock price or even higher dividends before then? Can you also provide a bit of an explanation for your answer. Much appreciated.
Q: Product: TD Split share Preferred (xtd.pr.a)
Hello 5i
Thanks for the excellent investment coverage.
I have been utilizing this structured pref share as part of stable income portion of Portfolio for many years. Receiving over 5% dividend yield with a stable stock price has been helpful.
With interest rates potentially movin up over the next few years, this fixed rate product will begin to look less attractive.
If by Dec 2019 (termination date) an investor would like to terminate the holding and receive cash for shares, do you see this transaction being as simple as checking a box and waiting for cash to arrive from Quadravest? Near term Price has been $10.06 but may possibly drop below the $10.00/ share if investors want higher yield.
Do you see any risks associated with being paid out the full $10.00/ Pref share ...... on or about Dec 2019?
Any comment on what this transaction would look like?
Thanks
Dave

Q: The last question about TCS was in July. Since then the stock has been on a tear. I am thinking about swapping out GUD and DR for TCS - I know TCS is considered tech - but I am looking at it as a quasi healthcare pick. Thanks for your current views.
Q: You haven't been positive about this company but it has been quite some time since a question was asked and the stock has been on a tear in a hot space. Acknowledging its volatility, which is reflected in its valuation, can you give me any reasons to stay away?
Q: Hi 5i
Looking for some sustainable growth companies that may offer compounding return.
I have been looking at First Service Corp currently priced at 88.85Can.
What are your thoughts about FSV continuing to put up high growth numbers after doing it for two decades? I see by their investor information they have 5% market share; leaving significant share for growth.
Do the estimates you have indicate significant growth trajectory will continue?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,
Please list 10 stocks that could see some tax-loss selling but could also rebound next year (good fundamentals, value, etc). I imagine that CRH and CBL could be two candidates? I don't mind any riskier stocks as well.
Thanks in advance.
