Investment Q&A

Q: There is a ( very) new ETF, coming out from Horizon with ticker QQCL being a covered call Nasdaq 100 with anticipated yield of 14.10 %.
This seems to be attractive for my TFSA for higher growth (with volatility which I can handle), along with a high yield.

I have bought several of these products, HTA, HHL, UMAX for both my registered and non registered accounts. They seem “ too good to be true “ and am wondering if that’s true. I have seen many of these enhanced products ( remember flow through shares ?) and hope these do not repeat.
Your thoughts on QQCL and on these ETF’s in general would be appreciated.
Thanks. Derek

Is BN like a Canadian version of BRK.B.

With the major difference BN pays a small dividend and breaks up its assets like BAM.

Q: Everyone. AI is at the beginning of a great breakout in many industries. AI is in exponentially growth period and the early adopters will benefit but the biggest beneficiaries are yet to be identified. I didn’t understand the benefits of MSFT or APPL in their pre-real growth stages. Will AI change the stock market in a profound way the humans will not be involved ie the human stock pickers. What tech areas should I look for be looking for or are they in my view already? Should we believe in the large cap tech stocks will continue to lead, or buy, the AI technology revolution? Clayton

Q: Hi 5i,
COR (formerly AmerisourceBergen) and MCK are classified as Healthcare Distributors. Do you like either of these in this area? Are both worth owning assuming you like them for a long term hold in a TFSA and NonReg account?
Can you please provide your high level thoughts for your choice.

Q: Please give me your view on Norfolk Southern Corp.

Thank You in advance.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I'm interested in your thoughts on Enovix, a seemingly new technology that is moving to commercialize an improved EV battery. Less fire risk.

ALSO - a suggestion that could be highly useful to subscribers.

The 5i portfolio analytics indicates I have gaps in my sector and stock diversification. I want to easily consider 5i rated (using A+ downward) system. I currently can filter for the year of rating, and 'letter grade' rating which is helpful. It would be super helpful to also be able to filter for sector. As well, what is most relevant to me is which countries the stock revenue comes from....rather than its corporate office location. Is this possible?

As an aside - I have been working with Chat GPT a little. One example is where I uploaded a number of documents and then could interactively apply prompts/questions to the data (uploaded documents) to quickly answer important questions. Having a Chat GPT engine that includes 5i historical research would seemingly be able to cover the suggestion I noted above with little additional or ongoing maintenance. Love to get your thoughts here.

Thank you again for premium service.

Q: Hi Team,
What’s your view on ABNB these days? The stock has been wanting to trend higher this year so far. Is the inclusion into the s and p an ongoing catalyst? I am trying to decide whether to keep it , or sell it while I am now positive on the name . I am a little concerned over regulations such as what NY has just done to them . I was debating if I sold it using the funds to add to my positions in LMN and Well. Looking for the biggest potential long term. Would you endorse the move , suggest a different name not mentioned instead , or just continue to hold ?

Thanks ,
Shane
