Q: Hi,
I forgot about this stock during recent volatility and starting to look at again. I like the assets and lack of debt. I dislike the earnings and my lack of knowledge of the management. Do you know the management at all and any thoughts on investing small position for 3-5 years or longer?
Thanks,
John

Q: Hi Peter,
Any idea why High Liner and Shawcor are still dropping while others have recovered. Both went up after the sell off, but are now dropping again. Fundamentals appear to be good on both so am a bit puzzled. I am thinking of entering Starbucks. I have done very well on the stock and sold it when it hit the 80s. It has been sitting in the low 70s but the PE is very high. The technicals look okay. Your view is greatly appreciated.

Q: Hello, with regards to your answer below what does "close membership in Canada" mean? You may have answered this elsewhere, but I haven't seen it are you going to limit the number of subscriptions? If so at how many memberships and are you close to doing so? Thank you.

5i Research Answer:
Thank you. We know there is a lot of demand for US coverage, but we would not change our no-conflict stance in order to achieve that. Lots of things are under consideration, but we certainly do not want to give the impression we will follow US companies any time soon. When we close Membership in Canada we will likely look at this more closely.

Q: Hi Team,
Could I have your opinion on DIV. Typically, I believe royalty companies are by design less risky but I'm really not sure. There has been a lot of chatter recently about this one getting more coverage and a dividend in near term. Would you own this one?
Thank you!
