Q: Good morning 5i
In an answer to an earlier question on bn you mentioned that 5i holds less than 4 per cent of this stock in the balanced portfolio. I found this a bit surprising, given your generally favourable attitude towards BN. I know there are numerous variables involved in choosing a stock for a portfolio. But I was just curious as to your reasoning

Second question has to do with LMN, which you are also favourable towards. I know that you cannot make individual portfolio decisions but i would appreciate your general opinion. I have received less than one percent of this stock from the split off and have been thinking about selling it or adding to it. The question comes down to whether it is an appropriate stock for a retired person, albeit one who can afford to and does take moderate risk, to hold. Although it is small and new, i am encouraged by its association with csu.
Thanks for your great service

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: 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
