Q: Hello 5i
Please explain if the sale or exchange of the 2 million shares is dilutive to shareholders- I don’t think so, please confirm.?. Who or what is HL1 17 LP ? The offering closes March 2. The closing date for this “event” is March 16: Are there two class of shares of RBI? If one is building a position is this a good entry point? Are shares likely to drift much lower than $63.99 (the price BoA is purchasing the shares for) in the face of this event? Would you see $63.99 as the floor? If not, can you guess how much lower?

Q: What are your thoughts on EXPI latest earnings report? Was there anything of particular interest on the conference call (either positive or negative)? The stock has been punished with interest rate hikes impacting real estate markets. Does it look like a company that will do well when it comes out of this and real estate picks up or have the fundamentals and story changed here? Is this an add while its down, hold and do nothing, or time to move onto other higher conviction names (please suggest any). Currently held in TFSA so no opportunity to claim a loss (down 70%, currently less than 1% weighting due to drop). Thanks so much!

Q: A recent guest on Market Call stated that while we have been in a dis-inflationary cycle for decades, we are now in a re-inflationary period which could go on for a long time. This means interest rates continuing to rise in steps over perhaps several years. First, could you comment on this view. I would like to hear your ideas about the direction of near term interest rates, as well as long term. I know that this is a predictive type of question but I highly value your opinions. Secondly if we are indeed in for a long stretch of gradually rising interest rates could this possibly mean a long term decline of growth stocks, or at least the ones that are not yet profitable. Thank you.

Q: A year ago BNS was $88.xx a share, it is now $68. CWB was $36.xx a share and is now $26.xx. Banks seem to be failing as far as investments. One gets 4.5 to 6% dividends but loses 20-30% on valuation in a year. Can we hope for a brighter future in 2023, or are there better choices for stocks the financial sector

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on the fundamentals of Questor including cash reserves, level of debt, earnings etc. With this in mind, is it strong enough to weather a continued market slump in growth stocks. Does it have the potential for growth. Also can you provide your opinion on management, its background experience and its holdings of common shares. Has there been any significant insider trading lately. If I decide to finally move on from this stock do you have any suggestions for a replacement growth stock, not necessarily in the same sector.

Q: Hi team ,
Sq share price continues to struggle in this environment. With a long term horizon is it still worth holding on to this name for better days in tech stock performance? When I had first purchased it I envisioned great growth ahead with its pos and cashless payments systems. Is the story still in tact or are there better names to own at this point? Particularly inside of a tfsa?

Q: Do you know anything about the status of Deans Knight? Last I heard they were still in a dispute with Revenue Canada that held the promise of the shares being worth something less than zero if they prevailed. Thanks.

Q: I took the big dividend from ECN - 15k bought three 5K positions VHI (-20%) STC (-80%) & CTS (-50%) to diversify the growth portfolio in my TSFA, losing percentages are app. are these positions worth keeping? My other thought is to sell and put the money back into ECN where the management has a proven track record of managing the risk and creating value for longer term shareholders

Q: I have small positions in the above noted companies held in my TFSA. They are all underwater and so there is no tax advantage to selling these losers. I would like to sell some or all of them and either to one or more of them or move on to some small techs that have more prospects. Can you let me know which of these you would sell hold or add to. Thanks for your ongoing great advise.
