Investment Q&A

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

Q: Role play. You're you giving yourself advice:

Assuming the market is going to puke all over itself today, what are you buying and how long are you waiting to pull the trigger on it?

Everything is long term hold.

Thanks

Q: Good afternoon! I am a newbie to this site and am so excited to be part of the 5I community! My parents have been enjoying 5I for many years and are so thankful for the portfolio advice and great stock recommendations! I have now setup my portfolio and ran into some issues with the portfolio analysis. The P/E for some holdings seem inflated eg QQQI is 65. How is P/E calculated? And long-term expected return of current portfolio?

Thanks! Kevin

Q: I bought NWC in 2021 for $33 and subsequently sold it. I am interested in buying it again, although the price has increased significantly and yesterday closed at $49.

Is this still a good company for a long-term hold? I am looking for a healthy company with good share price appreciation prospects and a decent dividend.

Also, what would you consider a good entry price? Thank you.

Q: Hello, a fund manager who is a frequent guest on BNN has mentioned more then once that his firm recently sold their CNR holdings after learning that the company had recently used debt to buy back shares. He failed to provide much detail as to why he did this and why he was not happy with managements decision to do this. From what I understand, companies will from time to time, buy back shares when they feel the shares are undervalued. Perhaps they secured a competitive rate on the debt and felt that buying back the shares was a constructive action to take with this new debt. Would you be comfortable buying CNR at these levels? Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks.

Q: Good evening!
Looking to add to my portfolio, and these are all high dividend payers. Could you rank them with regard to safety (primarily preservation of capital with low chance of potential problems on any visible horizon), and then also rank them from best grower to worst grower? Please take credits you think are fair.
Thanks! Paul K

Q: Ross Healy, who typically does not make sensational statements lightly, spooked me yesterday during a podcast interview with Amber Kanwar. He sees tech stocks dropping 60% which will invariably pull other types of stocks down for the ride. He suggests moving to gold... could you suggest a couple gold stocks with strong balance sheets? A mix of large, mid and small caps would be great. Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Portfolio Analytics indicates a need to increase our Consumer Defensive sector holdings. Across our combined accounts for this sector, we also hold COST and DOL, as well as two ETFs (ZLB with 19% representation, and XST with 71.5% representation in this sector.)

I am considering adding roughly equal amounts of L and JWEL to achieve the goal, and realize that L is much larger than JWEL, as well as being more defensive. But I do note that JWEL appears to have greater momentum presently and has a higher dividend as well.

PA classifies our portfolio as ‘Risk Managed Growth’, and L and JWEL would go into an 82-year-old’s RRIF.

Would you endorse such a plan? I’d also change the 50/50 allocation if you suggest this.

As always, thanks for your assistance.

Q: Hi 5i,
In a recent answer regarding lithium it was mentioned that there are alternative technologies that may be disruptive. Is there a time frame that you could throw out there that these new technological breakthroughs might become commercially viable - best guess if this is an unknown.
Thanks
