Investment Q&A

Q: Greetings:
I have held the above in my RRIF for quite some time, and under water. The interest is adequate, but eaten up badly by the loss of capital. I thought that as interest came down it would benefit the MIC'S, but not so!! What is the outlook for this one? Under what conditions would it improve? Is it just poor management?

Thanks, BEN.

Q: Greetings 5i,

Ive held APO for several years now and have enjoyed a nice run. However the position is becoming overweight and I may begin trimming. Today I read that APO will be added to the SP500 Dec23 and as far as I understand, when companies are added to indexes they experience an increase in valuation as being listed on Indexes require ownership by ETFs that reflect that INDEX. In this case would you wait and capture some upside with this listing or trim now?

Cheers!

Q: Thoughts on these insurers. Buy, sell or hold and why. Thank you!

Q: With the runup in bitcoin to $100K, do you think there's more potential in etherium and if so, what would be the best ways to play it?

thnx in advance

Q: Please comment on earning. Thanks a million.

Q: Can you contrast the valuation metrics of theses two names Goeasy and Propel currently.Also which you prefer?

Q: Is the IBIT ETF allowed to be held in a TFSA ?

- I understand Bitcoin or other Crypto cant be held directly in a TFSA

- I know you aren't tax consultants, But would appreciate a general knowledge answer...

Q: Just a comment to a question asked on TD today and you replying about the worst performing bank one year can often be the best the next year.

TD WAS the worst performing bank last year AND this year.

That is pretty rare.

Q: If FSZ were to get bought out with metrics similar to CIX what might that look like to a price of the stock?

Thx

Q: Good evening, how do you view these two stocks in light of upcoming tightening of immigration to Canada? Would this be a positive or a negative? And in Propel's case, would it be outweighed by attempts at international growth? Buy, hold, sell? Thank you!

Q: BMO hit a 52 week high today on the back of what appeared to be a negative quarterly report. What did I miss?

Q: Did Td increase their dividend when they reported their Q earnings this week,if so how much is it now?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

What’s your thoughts on Tradeweb as an investment? Looks to be breaking out and at its 52 week high.

Thanks,
Jon

Q: Please comment on recent earnings. You have been positive on this company in the past. What would be a reasonable entry point assuming you still like it and what would be your growth expectations going forward. Thanks.

Q: I do have a sizeable chunk of TD and am just wondering if y'all think a different bank is better suited for upside over the next 4 years or so....

Q: what did you think of results and do you think that the huge drop yesterday was more on the outlook or is there something we dont see .

Q: With yesterday’s drubbing following their results release, I have about a $12k capital loss on my TD non-registered holdings. I am an income investor and TD’s next ex-dividend date is Jan 10. If I sold my shares today, I could then repurchase them as early as Jan 6 and not put the loss at risk….correct? I have gains across pretty much all the rest of my holdings so picking up the loss now vs the potential price increase over the next 30 days seems an ok risk….do you agree?

Q: Please let me know your thoughts on the growth recovery in the USA, if any, on TD in 2025. I am considering selling TD for a tax loss and repurchasing it over a few months.
Thank you,

Q: I have owned GSY for a good number of years and it has been very profitable over the long term. The share price turned negative at the end of July 2024, with a bigger set back in mid October. Many analysts have a positive outlook, though Morningstar has a price target of $152 (about 10% below its current share price) and CFRA recommends selling. The CEO is on his way out. Its last earnings results seemed quite strong, yet the share price continued to decline, and forward estimates seem to be lower.

While my patience is being tested, I am mindful you have observed that one should assess a stock's performance over the long term ie over a number of years, not just a couple of quarters.

But everything is relative....is there a better place for my investment dollars, or would you hang in? Do you see any catalyst that will turn this ship around?

Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Read your report on earnings this morning . Just wondering if you learned anything interesting on the conference call ? Thanks for your terrific service ......
