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

Q: Hi, all of these stocks look quite over-valued. Please rank them in order of which ones you might start nibbling on, along with general entry prices. I know you don't like to time the market, but there may very well be dips coming up! Thank you.

Q: Hello,
I am thinking of investing in the rare earths segment. If i had to invest, would you suggest half and half or is Neo better than MP? Also, do you think i have missed the boat on investing in this area ? With regards to quantum computing, is IONQ considered one of the better companies to invest in? My concern is NVDA could get into this space as well. Thanks very much

Q: Premium Brands Holdings (PBH) is part of 5i’s Balanced Portfolio. It reported today and appears to have met or slightly exceeded analyst range of estimates both on EPS and Revenues.

It has completed its sale and leaseback of its Tennessee Sandwich Plant, and used the proceeds to repay a $172 debenture that matured in April, slightly reducing its total debt to EBITDA to 4.2:1 from 4:6:1 for the quarter.

They have also posted a 6 page letter from the CEO to Shareholders entitled “The Future of Food is the Past”

It would be appreciated if you could review both the results and the letter; and provide your comments, as well as sentiment on the company/strategy.

Thank-you!

Q: A colleague of mine, who is both a student of history and risk adverse, has suggested there are significant parallels between what is occuring in the market today and market conditions leading up to the 1929 great depression. In particular, he points to what he believes to be grossly inflated p/e values across all sectors of the North American market. I do not share his views and would be interested in your thoughts - backed up with a few pertinent statistics - regarding both my colleague's historical comparison to the late 1920s and current p/e values. (I am well aware books could be written on this subject, so looking for just your top-line opinion.) Thank you.

Q: I believe cash flow is a better measure of profitability for E & P companies. Would that also apply to software companies? Or would EV/EBITDA be an even better measure for software companies?

Thank you,

Q: Hello 5i,

There has been a few questions on why Nutrien was rising. This video shows the effect when China and Russia cut off exports of phosphorous, and now the big surprise that was just announced. We purchased NTR a few months ago and have done well. See the link below for information on a major discovery.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ktIzM4BGgg

Do you have any comments? Would you consider selling 1/2 or all of NTR based on the new discovery?

Thank you for your help.

Q: If you had a pretty well diversified portfolio of Canadian stocks and didn't own any of these 10, how would you rank them in order of desirability to add to the portfolio for long term growth? Which ones would you definitely add?

Q: Hello 5i,

We have decided to trim equity positions by 15%-20% and replace those stocks with less risky investments. This move is to retain capital investments for the near term due to leveraged market evaluations and the Narcissist who is making a serious attempt to change the US from a democracy to a Totalitarian state.

Can you please provide a list of safe havens to shelter against some of the potential risks?

Thank you

Q: I am looking for a position in my income portfolio and would like to choose from CPX, CM and TD.
It would seem that Canada is heading into a recession and that would affect the bank earnings, more significantly CIBC than the others.
CPX on the other hand has missed earnings, maintained guidance and has dropped and likely to recover?
Which one would you choose to add?
Regards
Rajiv
