Investment Q&A

Q: Hello
I m wondering if your team has thought about a AI filtering / Help options for your Questions tab ? IMO I m noticing near 50% of the asked questions have been previously answered MANY TIMES OVER. This would allow other 5i members to save times not having to read the mulit requests on the same information.

This feature would most importantly allow the 5i moderator to focus on other NEW Questions, strategize on more / improved technical features (PA) for the platform or infact start to create member reports for the USA positions the moderators in fact hold and endorse.
This issue has really bothered me that many CDN TSX microcap positions have reports and endorsements (even on the 5i X acct) to buy while the 5iii moderatior doesnt in fact own them IE no skin in the game. FWIW many have very poor returns or get dropped from your T.A radar !

Just my thoughts as longtime PA Member

Q: Hello friends,

Still not sure how to handle NBLY's CVRs. Since they landed in my RRSP account, my broker gave me two options: to sell the security or to transfer it out.

My question though is, if I transfer them out, do I still need to sell them explicitly sometime in 2026 or they will transform (hopefully) into $0.61 per share automatically?

Many thanks!

Q: will you buy both or one only and which one?

Q: Hi,
Our NBLY pharmacy shares were bought out and cash received. In our TFSA we now have shares of Neighbourly Pharmacy Inc temp with a purchase price of 24 cents per share with a total value of $168. I got a letter from itrade indicating these shares cannot be in a registered account subject to 50% penalty. Can you please help me understand what these new shares are?
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: Have some cash available to add to one or 2 of the following: CLS, DOL, DOO, GIB.A, IFC, QSR, STN, TIH. For a purchase at the current price, please rank from 1 through 8, for total return over the next 3 - 5 years. I believe you are pretty positive about each of these companies. No concerns about sector allocation.

Q: Good morning,

For a moderately aggressive investor with a two-year time horizon, how might you rank the listed stocks in terms of a new purchase today?

Thanks,

Brad

Q: Hi all...any idea where things stand with the class action against maxar?

Q: Why is the Asset Class of Boralex classified as Energy and Fortis is classified as Utilities. Why the difference? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i. I'm looking add a new growth position in a registered account, 3-5 year horizon, sector not a factor. PRL appeals for its momentum and valuation, GIB.A for its valuation and it sector, for which it seems very undervalued. They are apples and orages but which would you go with today, for growth? Thanks.

Q: Morning 5i,
You may have recently fielded similar general questioning and if so I apologize for the repetition, but here goes. Almost exactly two years ago the market was at a high very similar to its current level and I was feeling very good about my holdings, but things turned south pretty quickly - especially in tech but in other sectors as well - and it's taken me much of the two years since to recover. Granted, at that time I was holding tech names like LSPD, ILLM, EGLX, XEBEC, DOC and WELL which have now been replaced by LMN, CTS, HTA, TXF, TXF.B and I have shored up the non tech end of things with names like BNS, CM, GSY, PRL, EQB, CNQ, TOU, SU, KEY, ENB, EIF, SIS, DHT.UN and MDA but I can't help but wonder - are we approaching that precipice again and if not, why not?
Is the market fundamentally stronger now, and more resilient, than it was when everything looked oh so rosy two years ago? Presently things seem to me almost too good to be true, and I think when that's the case they often are and I would sure appreciate your perspective on the year ahead. (Right now I feel like I should all and go to cash ...).
Thanks, and please deduct as you think appropriate.
Peter

Q: What would be ideal entry points for these two stocks?

Thanks, as always.

Q: Please comment on earning. Thanks a lot.

Q: In consumer staples I currently own PBH and have for years in a registered account. Wondering if it's time to move on to either L or ATD. How would you compare these and which do you prefer? Thank you

Q: For my more speculative investments I have a starter position in SMCI and TVK. At this time would you consider moving up to a half position in one of these, or purchasing a starter position in HPS?
Thanks

Q: Please rank these 3 stocks for a growth focus (5-10years)if buying today.

Q: Why does ATS keep falling? Is this a buy, hold, or sell? What price should I start adding?

Q: I would like to change a large sum of US to Canadian dollars in my trading account.
I was thinking of purchasing US stocks for companies that are traded on both Canadian and US exchanges, and asking Scotia Itrade to move the US stocks to the Canadian side of my account, thus eliminating any commission in converting this US cash to Canadian. I realize that any equity I purchase could go up or down. I'm looking for a few stable companies whose stock values don't fluctuate much. Could you rank the companies in my subject line and possibly suggest others?

Q: A lot of market commentators are observing that there is potentially a correction ahead. Ordinarily I would follow your long standing thought to not try to time the market and I would simply stay the course. But one income oriented account I am concerned with has a priority of capital preservation. These 7 named stocks make up about 1/2 of the holdings. Can you please provide your quick assessment whether they are reasonably safe in the event of a downturn. If not and they are more exposed to a decline, would trimming be sufficient or are there some other names to migrate to protect the account assets?

Many thanks for your excellent service
