Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi,
I’ve held V shares since the IPO and have done really well. With all the talk about the shift to digital currencies/payments becoming a more dominant place in the global financial system, do you think also diversifying into BABA (stake in Ant Group) and PYPL (creating a larger transactional payment landscape for the future through bitcoin) would be a good move? Do you see further secular growth in this area? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i Team,
Seems that Square is recently facing much more competition. Just in the last two days, JP Morgan has launched "Quick Accept", Visa has announced "Tap to Phone" and Paypal is opening up their network to cryptocurrencies. Is the big run over for Square, and would you recommend possibly switching to Paypal within the payments space, given these announcements? Thanks. Brad

Q: With regards to your response to Member Brian Oct 20, 2020. Which bank stock to buy? National maybe small and regional, but the growth of the bank has been far superior to the other Canadian banks.
Dating from Dec 31, 2015, National stock is up 65%, the nearest rival Royal is up 30% and BNS has grown .02%. Since March 23, 2020 National is up 75%. Far ahead of rivals. National pays 4.3% dividend and BNS is 6.5%. However which one would you prefer to own. Many seem to forget this company and I don't know why. Just my observation, love your site, and you've made me a ton since I joined. Thanks to your Team PS even XFN ranks third in returns

Q: I am looking to alter my financial holdings into November and currently hold. 1 % position in WFC, BMO, BNS, FSZ, and SLF. I am considering replacing BMO and BNS after/before month end respectively and taking up positions in IVZ and JPM on any pull back.
What would your advice be, and/or do you have any more preferred suggestions?

Thank you in advance

Peter

Q: I am looking to invest in one of these two companies. as a way to play the real estate market other than through the banks. They both seem to have good management. How secure is their dividend and who would have stronger growth prospects? Any other comments greatly appreciated and do you have a preference? Thanks. Derek
