Q: Good afternoon my 5i friends. I had a long career in commercial real estate. I'm looking at the core office vacancies and sublets in the CBDs of many big cities, including Toronto and Montreal. The vacancies will drag on with downward pressure on rents and I'm wondering about the fine gang at Brookfield. Do they have inordinate exposure to office space and are they susceptible to rent compression. I am less concerned about retail and I know Brookfield has plenty but the worst is behind us, surely. So, your thoughts on the Brookfield office holdings, please.
Q: Hi, What is your assessment of Suncor after today's highly anticipated investor's day and stock selling off apparently triggered by company's decision to retain Petro Canada gas station, which has 18% market share of Canadian fuel distribution business. One of the reasons, company assigned was the safety net/cushion this business provides during the times of company facing headwinds of lower demand for oil. Looks like, market was expecting a decision otherwise. which would have helped rerating of shares and narrow the discount, stock trades at, relative to its peers. How would company fund its purchase of Fort Hill Oil sands, from Tech Resources, due to close in 2023 ? How does this all play with activist investor and overall impact on stock price ? Thank You

Q: Just reading the ETF/mutual fund newsletter, and the changes to the growth portfolio. I am wondering where I can find longer term returns for the 3 ETF portfolios? Only the 3 month and YTD returns are displayed in the charts, whereas most investors would need longer term info before taking the plunge.
Thanks. Peter

Q: How does the current collapse in the valuation of bitcoin affect covered call products like BTCY? Is there a thoughtful argument to be made for a recovery trade in bitcoin, and if so, is there any safety added by doing so via a derivative product?

Q: May I have your thoughts on Imperial Metals? I see the current share price is still below where it was 5 years ago. So no long term wealth has been created. Is there anything positive about this company?

Q: Is there anything of note in the 3rd Quarter release? The technology of QST and the world wide focus on reducing methane gases, one would think this company is in a sweet spot to increase sales dramatically - as per this statement from the president (below)... so help me understand why they are not signing oodles of contracts for their clean combustion technology solutions?
"Requests for proposals have increased significantly from both international and domestic companies, who are exploring opportunities to use Questor’s integrated solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, eliminate flaring and venting to meet the new regulations focused on methane."

Q: Could you please share your top 3 picks in the luxury goods "sector"? Please order starting with the best and a (very) brief reason for the pick (if I'm not asking too much and the time allows). Got interested because, it seems to me, that the wealthy and the luxury companies they're buying things from are doing just fine, recession or not.
Many thanks!
