Q: Hi Peter, what do you see happening on July 24th when the Nasdaq re- balances? Do you think that some of the top stocks would see a bit of a sell-off as ETFs and institution investors rebalance as well? Which companies would you put new money in? Thanks in advance.

Q: no one really talks about cineplex. is it risky at this point with what I would assume is a lot of debt and the operating efficiency post-pandemic is different? Do you see this as a takeover target if they can some how restructure their debt by doing so?

Q: Good morning, it looks like ATZ will be having a rough day after their most recent earnings report. Do you think it will be a good time to buy after the damage is over and the stock settles down thanks?

Q: What effect is the Nasdaq special rebalancing likely to have on GOOG, NVDA, MSFT, etc.

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,

My question is general. Recently I came across an article on Bond-reform proposal by Federal Government. In which it was mentioned by a group of institutional investors that this means higher interest rates for companies, provincial governments and other bodies that issue bonds. If that is right then will not mortgage cost for the home owners will go up?

I will appreciate if you could give some info on this money lending cycle.
 
Thanks

Q: Can you comment on Aritzia’s earnings. They reported after Bell so not sure market action. How do you expect the stock will react. I read gross margins were down.

Q: I find it strange that the stock took such a dive a week before the earnings came out,$37 to $33.50!!Looks like somebody knew something!!!

Q: May I have your thoughts about Carrier's acquisition of Viessmann Climate Solutions? I have been looking at HVAC investment opportunities in the UK & Europe and the only alternative is Trane. Which of those two are the more suitable investment at this time? Thanks.

Q: Can I please have your opinion on whether bond ETF's might be less forward looking "stocks" than a regular equity? It almost seems to me that they react to interest rate changes after they are announced versus anticipating them the way the rest of the market would anticipate an expected change. Are bond ETF's mostly a retail investor thing, or are there lots of institutional "smart money" participants as well?

Q: Over the last few days TOI has fallen from a high of $110 to a low of $98 and so is there any news that would explain people pulling out of this stock? Would you say this is a buying opportunity. Thanks so much.

Q: Could i have your thoughts on this company in particular the debt, are they making any headway in lowering their debt,also i just noticed their June numbers were back to 2019 pre pandemic level.Is their any hope for this or is loan servicing just too big an obstacle its too bad really considering the moat they have and the astronomical margins they must have on concessions.....Thanks

Q: Your opinion on TFI's quarterly results please and thank you.

Q: Some questions about JEPI. Perhaps you can answer at least some.

1 In their materials, JEPI states "Provided an attractive 12-month rolling dividend yield of 11.45% and 30-day SEC yield of 9.59%." What is the difference between the "rolling" and the "SEC"?

2. The dividend history shows a range from last Nov / Dec of $0.60 per unit to the recent $0.36 per unit. But it seems the stated yield is still pretty much in the same range as before. Is that correct? how does the stated yield stay the same??

3. The list of the holdings refers to about 15 - 20 "equity linked notes" which have quite mysterious names (eg "SPX 8"). What are these? How does one find out the identity of the item and what they actually are?

4. their material refers to selling options to generate the income; most US s stocks pay fairly small dividends. How much of the portfolio has to involve selling options to get to the amount of yield?

5. This ETF gets mentioned in your questions / answers from time to time. What is your current view of it? Would you anticipate the current yield to stay at this rate?

Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: What are your thoughts on these two underperforming stocks - are they buys, sells or holds. Thanks. Rick
