Investment Q&A

Q: With the VIX above 30 and sure to continue to be volatile in the coming weeks, how would you advise investors to step into the current market? Can you provide a couple of examples of companies you would be buying into this volatility?

Thank you
Tim

Q: Had several stocks down roughly 5% March 30, these 5 were almost or over 8% down, overall portfolio was down 3.38% in a day. Seems unfair seeing what the indexes did :)

Q: Hi Team;
I was thinking of adding to MDA in my cash account. As luck would have it, I had just bought in near peak and am down 20% in a week. Is this a good day to average down? Or would you be inclined to wait until next week?

Also, I am funding my RSP account for the year with 10K. I was thinking about MSFT for this purchase. Would you consider it a good buy today? In my mind it compares to GOOG a couple years ago when it was pulling back on unjustified fears. I am hoping for a similar recovery within a couple years.

As a third question, more generally, with the VIX hovering right near 30 is now a good time to start picking away at the market in general? Or wait for further destruction? Do you have a "shopping list" to share with us for your favorite names to buy if the VIX spikes further into market fears? Also, will 5i set up a "special report", so to speak if there is a crazy spike as to when to start "pulling the trigger" if chaos happens? I recall you did something similar in 2020 during covid when the markets were in free fall and your timing if I remember right was probably within a week of the market turnaround at that time. Great job!


Deduct as many credits as required for this multi part question.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: What do you make of VCX rocket-like rise? Too late to jump in?

I'm down on Broadcom, not by a lot but it has been stuck there for months. I'm thinking of selling and use proceeds for better plays. Your thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i team,
The above stocks in the subject line have had a dismal year price wise (they actually have pulled back significantly over the last 6 months). May I please have your opinion if each of these stocks, is a buy, sell or hold and the rationales for your recommendations.
Thanks,
H

Q: I have heard that Cormark has lowered their target from C $51 to C $ 46 because even though MDA doesn't deal with Artemis Gateway, they were supposed to build Canadarm-3 for the Artemis Gateway a contract worth $1B and I guess, that is out the door.

Is this true and the reason for another drop today?

Q: Hi 5i,
Because 5i looks favourably on ZDC I've looked into it with an eye to investing some of my hard earned money. Based on my review I wonder if you could elaborate on the reasons for your favourable analysis. I went to its website expecting to see a highly sophisticated and somewhat difficult to duplicate mobile security technology and found instead that ZDC basically provides little camera towers that it'll wheel out to a jobsite to provide mobile surveillance. Which really doesn't seem like much to me, but does really look like something that almost anyone with a mind to could replicate without much trouble.
I understand that it's a nice little business, but is ZDCs really a serious candidate for investment?
(I know this sounds very skeptical, but I was stunned by what a one trick pony ZDC appears to be, and not a very sophisticated pony at that. But it's a Calgary company and I'm a Calgary boy I would like to invest in it - if there's really any reason to think that reasonably soon - 1 or 2 years - it might be worth $11 or $12 instead of its current $5 and change, to justify taking the risk.)
Thanks 5i - I look forward to your thoughts.
Peter
