Q: Hello 5i,
Could you please rank these companies from a growth perspective for a higher risk portion of my portfolio? Also maybe brief comments on the four highest ranked?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hi (again) 5i,
Thanks for your answer to my question on CTS earlier today, which I appreciate. Just some quick follow up: You write that CTS is likely worth holding "at least until completion of the review". If a sale of CTS - which would be very public information - is not negotiated, when would it be known that the review has been completed? Would that be required disclosure in the first quarterly report after the review terminated, or is that something management can keep under its hat for as long as it sees fit?
Thanks (again)!
Peter

Q: Your opinion of the five single-stock ETF’s offered by Purpose Investments, generally and specifically. I’m thinking, in particular of replacing a small holding of the NEO-listed GOOG with Y-GOOG-NE. To complement a holding of GOOG (US).

Q: Hi 5iResearch

These two names seem to be different series for the the same etf, right?

If I am right, why do they have different prices per unit and how could their dist, be different while both are having the same underlying securities?

Could you please advise if there are differences in risk?

Do VBAL and XBAL also have different series?

Please as many credit as the question requires.

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,
CTS in my TFSA has been a bit of ride. In mid 2021 I was way up but held on the premise that selling winners leaves only losers, and there weren't dark clouds on the horizon - at least not that I saw. Now I'm way down. It's been a big swing.
I was pleased to hear the rumblings about a possible sale of CTS, as I'm sure many others may have been, but that unrewarded optimism has now made me, and others too perhaps, feel disappointed and even manipulated - definitely not good investor sentiment.
I glean from your recent answers to questions involving CTS that you think it's worth holding and I'm willing to do that, although the opportunity cost of having that money tied up waiting for a CTS rebound frustrates me.
So my question is simply, what is there about the future prospects of CTS that makes it a hold right now, and if there isn't a real positive response to the upcoming earnings announcement would it be time to sell, or is that too short term a view?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Hello 5i team,
I initiated a position in AND around the time you published a report on the company. The reasons were because of the niche market, growing dividend, partially involved in healthcare, and growth (although slowly).

A few questions:
-brief opinion on the most recent quarter(released March 2nd)?
-The one and only report was in 2021, would you be having one coming up?
-Would AND be a stock that you would add to one of the portfolios in the future?

Thanks,
Andrew
