Investment Q&A

Q: Thoughts on the results just released?

Thx

Q: I’ve recently subscribed to 5i, and appreciate all the good information that you have on your website.

A question: how do you choose which stocks to research and which to not research? In your model portfolios, you have included a number of big-name stocks (BCE, L, TD, BN, amongst others) that aren’t rated. I understand they are included in your model portfolios to provide sector diversification, but would I be correct to infer that if you rated them they wouldn’t likely be “A” stocks?

A somewhat related question: your Income Model Portfolio includes BCE, CNQ, FTS, H and TD (amongst others), all non-rated, but your Balanced Equity Model Portfolio does not. Does this mean that although you view these stocks as being good dividend-payers, you also think they have limited upside?

Thanks

Q: Looking to establish a position in Bitcoin/Crypto; wondering what your thoughts are on the above companies and what other options there are.
Thank you for your input.

Q: Suggestion. Would it possible in your Portfolios to identify companies which are foreign (not based in Canada), eg GLXY, KSI. Some kind of flag may be. Thanks.

Q: I’m only interested in Canadian compounders. Compounding companies that are mid to large cap that I am invested in are CSU, TOI, LMN, TFII, and ATD. Can you recommend 5-10 possibilities for 5-10 year compounders in the Canadian small cap space?

Q: I would appreciate your views of the 3rd q results. I think they were fine and find the selloff puzzling but that's what happens in the small/microcap cap world.

Q: Why is HIVE much weaker in comparison with HUT?

Q: Hi,
We own no crypto stocks. I feel that we should have some exposure in our portfolio. Now there has been a bit of a pull back… I cannot decide on what combination of stocks or ETF’s (cnd or US$) to buy in this sector for total portfolio weight of approximately 4-5%. What 3 combination of companies and/or ETF would you buy for a balanced exposure to the sector.
Thanks for all that you do!

Q: How would you rank these for growth? I own GLXY and NBIS already. GLXY is 3.5% and NBIS 1.62% position. I could add more to NBIS or start new positions in either CIFR, IREN, HUT or HIVE. I see you recently started a new position in HIVE, but assuming you could choose between all of these companies, how would you compare or rank HIVE to HUT, IREN and CIFR as new AI/HPC plays from bitcoin miners? Thanks!

Q: Hi there

If I was going to initiate a position in ZOMD would you recommend doing it before or after earnings reporting on Friday? Would you buy in tranches like 1/3s?


Thanks!

Q: Hi. I have tried a couple times to submit this question now...

My kids have a family RESP. Oldest child will be starting post-secondary in 9 years.

Currently have GLXY, BN, SIS and T.
What will be good holdings to add to this? If sector diversification is not taken into consideration, what will be good to add?

Thank you.

Q: Your best small cap recommendation for growth in a TFSA today. Thanks!

Q: In reviewing your Growth portfolio YTD I notice that the best YTD increases are CLS, PNG,ZDC,GLXY, HPS.A … in that order. And mor of these are your top holdings as well.

Given the pullback are any of these “buyable” again now; and if so, at what prices would you suggest. I already own all of these stocks - thank you very much!

Q: If--for diversification purposes, not to mention buying into an unloved investment space--which one of the 4 major Canadian telecom companies (BCE, Quebecor, Rogers, Telus)-- would you be most interested in owning long-term, for >10-year hold? Could you rank them from #1 (top choice) thru #4, and provide a rationale for your ranking?

Q: Thank you for the excellent market update comparing the AI boom to history. What are the top 'capex-light' companies that you feel may participate in the AI boom?

Q: I missed the update flash report. Where can I find it?

Q: It seems ZDC has fallen in your ratings. Over the past few weeks it hasn't been mentioned as a go to growth stock as it once was. What are your thoughts on it? I'm considering completing a position in it. Good time to buy? If not, what would you suggest that has opportunity to do well over the next 6-12 months?

Q: Hello,
I assume like most subscribers, I read the questions section almost daily and wonder if any of the stocks mentioned are in your various portfolios.

To find out if they are involves many steps which is inconvenient. Is there a way to indicate if the stock is in a current portfolio? Maybe a Star or similar symbol?
Many thanks

Q: Thank you for the updated flash report. If you had to choose only one of these stocks at today's prices, which one would it be and why?

Q: Hoping you can address a few questions on this name:

1) To what extent is this company tied to crypto and to what extent data centers?

I am fairly confident that there will be a demand for data centers. I have less comfort in crypto which seems to be in free fall and I'm wondering if that largely explains the poor performance of this stock.

2) Why was this a compelling buy at or around $40 USD a share? How likely is it to return to that price?

3) Is there a possibility that Galaxy will be split into two different companies or taken private?

Thanks,

Jason
