Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I figured if this name was safe enough for Charlie Munger and Mohinsh Pabrai, that it would be safe enough for me. However, I always get week knees when I start to lose money. My guess is that China will not want to kill a golden goose like Baba and Im therefore hoping to look past the noise about CCP regulation which seems to be driving down the price of Chinese stocks indiscriminately. I know you do not closely follow overseas stocks but do you suggest I hold this name or move on to North American names which do not face the same regulatory dangers. I’m only down $7 at the moment. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i team,

Reading your response to one of our 5i members' question about "POAHY" which is listed in US ADR market, you mentioned ADRs can have more risks itself. Could you please elaborate more about the risks associated with ADRs.

Thanks,

Q: POAHY:US is the symbol in NY for Porsche Auto in Germany (it’s an unsponsored ADR and is not in your data base) . This business is held in the EWG (Germany) ETF. In addition to holding a modest amount in EWG, I also have a tiny position in POAHY. I thought of topping up after reading some near-rave reviews in Barrons on July 6, 2021. Barrons also listed it as a PICK in its "Picks and Pans" on 6 July. I would appreciate very much if you would please care to comment on Porsche Auto Company.

POAHY pays a healthy dividend (4.85%). More troubling than the high dividend is that it does appear to be seriously under-valued. Is it a value trap, you think? And do UNSPONSORED ADRs carry more risk? Thank you.

Q: What is your view on how Chinese companies listed in US exchanges are being affected by the delisting threats and the Chinese government response. Has this increased investment risk in Chinese companies? I currently have a position in XPEV and am trying to reassess if I should continue holding it.

Q: Hello Peter & Ryan,
My wife would like to have your thoughts on EPAM & DAVA. She has some cash but only enough to buy either EPAM or DAVA. She wants to know which one do you prefer and why?

By-the-way there is still no response to my question on UFS submitted almost 2 days ago.

Your opinions are always valued (even if occasionally a little tardy)!

Q: Few of my international holdings pay dividends and in trying to correct that, I thought of adding SDIV as a new holding. I have the following questions or concern:
1. Many companies held in the ETF are on not that large (for the type of internatinal business a Canadian might want to risk); and
2. SDIV also underweights quality and momentum.

Notwithstanding the above concerns, would you say the ETF is worth adding as part of one's holdings outside North America? Please comment on SDIV, but if you have other ETFs you prefer, kindly advise). Thanks
