Investment Q&A

Q: is there a website , or are you able to provide what fractional share interest these would have in a whole share of the underlying company...I am aware they use ADR's but looking for a reference point for each...many thanks...Cheers

Q: Hi, to compare apples to apples...In 2021 I've held a 80/20 portfolio and returned 19%.
Is there a site you would know of that shows returns for all types of allocations?

Thanks

Q: Hello,

I’ve always wondered why certain companies let their share price run into the thousands and rarely if ever split their shares. For a small retail investor like myself paying 2000- $3000 USD for an Amazon or Alphabet is simply not possible. I’ve always suspected it may be a philosophy of management and or founders who all still have significant influence in the mentioned companies.

Q: Happy New Year!
As a broad-ish generalisation, could one substitute 'structured notes' as an asset class in a portfolio with one or more covered call ETFs?

Q: I keep hearing that a rise in interest risks adversely affects tech stocks. Understand that comment in the context of companies that are reliant upon financings but don’t understand it in the context of the FANG stocks which are cash rich and have significant pricing power. Please clarify.

Q: Can you please post the total return for the S&P 500 and TSX for both 2020 and 2021. Thx

Q: Is there a place I can compare margin interest rates?

Will any of the brokerages negotiate that rate?

Thanks

Q: What do you think about BABA?

It has fallen so much - do you think the new political risks are factored in? What are its growth prospects/valuation? Would you buy?

Q: New member of 5i Research, switched from Motley fool, I find the reports and coverage easier to follow. I don't see US equities coverage. Does 5I only cover Canadian equities?

Q: "Give a person a fish and they eat for a day. Teach a person how to fish and they eat for a lifetime." Thank you for teaching your membership how to become better fishermen (or fisherpeople). You folks should be proud of the work you do.

Q: Hi All:
I have a generic TFSA question. My TFSA is ~$147K; my wife is at ~$140K
Not all my stocks choices are winners but sometimes in the past I have NOT taken my profit off the table. ie sold some of my winners to reinvest in other upcoming potential winners. We all get the $6K starting in 2022, but I would like your thoughts on transferring in kind some shares from our TFSA's into our open account. ie: the ones that have gained 70 to 80%. My thoughts are that this would give me more room to transfer $$$ from our open account in 2022, that are presently losses I think are still potential stocks that could go up, thereby giving us some tax free gains.

Is this game to dangerous or just plain stupid.

I hope you all have an enjoyable and well deserved Xmas time off. Ken.... :-)

Q: Lightspeed
In regard to Clayton‘s question this morning on your profile page there is a bar chart that shows institutional buying and selling, how often is that updated?
Would you give that chart any consideration when buying or selling a stock

Q: Good morning 5i
and the best of the season to you all. I hope you all have a great rest and relaxation time this season. You have earned it, if you listen to most of the commentators on the site, who seem to be very happy with your service, And that includes me.

I was just wondering about options. I had a number of options expiring last Friday and I am planning on rolling them over for another month. It is a fairly down day in the market today and I was wondering whether I would b e better to wait a day or two, or a week, to see if the sentiment changes. Perhpas the option premiums would be higher at that time. so, that is the quesion, is there any profit in waiting out a down day before selling call options?
thanks
