Q: Hello, Thank you and Kudos to 5i team for your unfaltering view on Shopify, and even bumping up the weight in the Balanced portfolio recently. Your unbiased and consistent opinion has been a huge support to us for maintaining a long term view on this company, while there has been so much pessimism and negativity in the market. We are very happy with market rewarding the stock last week and I am sure, there is a lot more to come over next several years.

Q: Do these 4 companies have the cash/cash flow to finance their current debt obligations? None of the companies are profitable I am concerned that they may not be able to raise the cash needed to fund operations in the current environment of rising interest rates, such that they may not be able to handle any debt due over the next year or two.

Q: I’m significantly underwater on these stocks. Can you please advise which ones you’d hold, and which ones you’d sell? Can you please also give 5 growth stocks in Canada and 5 in the US that you are high on right now in place of the above?

Q: As a followup to my question yesterday about Leon's how seriously should we take this interest in setting up REIT? You have noted in the past that one of the underlying values of LNF was their real estate so is this an idea that management is floating or does it look like it will come to fruition? How should a shareholder react to this news - buy more, sell or hold until it plays out?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hello, With 5i decision to increase the Lumine weight, from 0.15% to 1.50%, can we follow the lead and take it as your nod to bump up the holding in our personal portfolios, at current price $19. ( Noted that CSU weight was trimmed by 0.5% and the logic to participate in future growth in LMN from these levels ). Of course, with the caveat that portfolio weights are still our personal decision.

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i
As I've asked far too few questions and have load of question credits ... It's that time again ... what is 5i talking about internally that makes you all optimistic or pessimistic at this time? Would your views internally track the previous investor sentiment surveys and how does it differ (if it does).
Thanks

Q: Good Afternoon,
I have owned Killam for a while. There has been no appreciable growth or dividend increase. What is the likelihood of either happening. Would I be better off selling Killam and purchasing another stock? If so, what stock would you suggest that would offer some growth and a good dividend. There is no tax implications as I hold Killam in my TFSA.
Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Q: Just my thoughts on the stock, it does not matter if you are Wal Mart or Target when you have to much inventory you have to sell it down at prices that do not make you any profit. There is nothing worse than marking down fashion clothing and trying to recover your cost on the items. With maybe a recession and more 50% off sales, yes the margins will be lower, until the merchandise supply is under control the company will probably struggle.
Thanks again
