Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm reviewing my portfolio to evaluate if there are any names i've held for a few years which haven't done much or i'm down on, and may be candidates to be sold and replaced with growthier names that have become more attractive. The 2 names that meet the criteria are VEEV and PGNY. With a focus on growth do you think either of these names should be sold and replaced or are they holds? Thx

Q: Hello 5i Team

Reviewing the publicly listed mortgage investment corporations (MIC) on the TSX and TSXV.

1 - Are there any others listed on exchange(s) other than the five listed?

2 - Is Builders Capital Mortgage Mortgage too small (~$19M market cap) for consideration?

3 - What is the best metric to compare MICs - price to earnings / price to book / others?

4- What would be your ranking - best to worst?

5 - Any other considerations?

Thank you

Q: Good morning 5i
Just a clarification on your covered call strategy that you mentioned today. You said that if called away, say, at $45 you would immediately sell a put for $45 for about a month out. One of the reasons for this i imagine is that you think the stock has the wind in its sails. Right? Also, how would this strategy affect the superficial loss rule. I don’t imagine you would be seen as buying the stock within 30 days?
Thanks

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I am looking at topping up existing positions in BCE, BNS, TRP over the next 1-3 months, as funds become available.

Please rank them in order of :
a) Value (based on where their P/E (or whatever the appropriate metric) is currently vs over time),
b) Potential capital upside.
Any thoughts on technicals and seasonality would be appreciated.
My own thoughts are to add to TRP first, then BNS, then lastly BCE.

Thanks for your help....Steve

Q: Hi 5i,
I plan on purchasing these 4 companies to cover off my exposure to the US markets.

What is your opinion of this portfolio? Any other addition?

Weighting in the Portfolio is a consideration, so I only have 4 positions.

Is now a good time to start accumulating, and it what order?

Thanks for the opinion.
John

Q: Hello. I am looking for some advice on preferred shares. Given the current situation of rising interest rates, which type of preferred shares (reset, perpetual, or floating) should I buy to maximize my dividend income and capital appreciation in the future? Thank you.

Q: If the appeal process results in the current judge's order being upheld and Enbridge being forced to "move Line 5" (which sounds to the uninformed to be potentially rather costly) what is the possible effect on the equity - in other words, what are shareholders looking at as a possible downside, what is the risk of this worst case scenario, and what does the 5i crystal ball say will likely happen. Does this alter your positive outlook on this stock as a solid income hold with some likely capital improvement over time - is it still a buy. Thanks for your opinion on this news.

All are down slightly.

Could you please rate these in terms of potential and how much patience might be required.
