Investment Q&A

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

Q: If you held no current position in NTR but wanted to begin one, would you be inclined to buy before or after earnings are released on February 8? I ask because the stock was clobbered after earnings were released in early November 2022.

I realize this is a timing issue which can be a mug's game but I am still interested in your gut feeling.

Thanks as always for your expertise.

Q: I am looking to add to one or both of BN and BAM. Do you have a preference on one or the other. I know that one is growth oriented and one is income oriented but are their present valuations similar - is one priced better than the other. Thanks.

Q: The FTSE 100 near all time high co-relates to higher valuations in Europe correct? How does or could this impact TOI’s M&A strategy? The company has been stealth like in its communication and thin on traded volume. Do you have any insight to its recent activity? When does it report and what should we be looking for?

Q: Hi, Most of Quality companies' stocks in Technology sector have bounced back nicely, during the first 2 weeks in January. But Kinaxis has not moved at all and still stuck around $140 level. We have held on to a 2% position, based on 5i' conviction as being one of the best in supply/logistics software sector, similar to Descartes. Any reasons for the lagging performance ? Is it time to move on and allocate the capital to better use elsewhere ? Thank You

Q: Hi there. I am looking for a dividend growth company or ETF to add to our kids RESP with a 10 year time horizon. What do you recommend from the 5i Research universe to initiate a position in now. After the initial purchase, I intend to dollar cost average on an ongoing basis. I already have Telus, Abbvie, and BMO in two other accounts and those are my highest dividend payers.

Q: hi folks:

on any and all mid to long timelines, BNS has VASTLY underperformed both RY and TD

i suspect this is the latin exposure, followed up with crappy mgmt

at what point does an investor (or 5i) admit you/we are collectively wrong, and drop it from our/your preferred status?

do you have a serious blind spot?

honest question, because the evidence is quite clear this is not in the same league as td or ry


and yes, i make may own decisions, and take full responsibility for my actions

thanks again, and please note that while this is a fairly minor issue, i find your service is top notch
