Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i Team

I currently hold in my US$ denominated RRSP Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (BEP) to avoid complications with taxation of BEP.UN in a taxable account.

I want to proceed with buying Brookfield Renewable Corporation (BEPC) in my taxable account to receive Canadian Eligible Dividends. I would then sell my BEP holdings in the RRSP.

Could you please provide your top 5 ideas in the US market (i.e. NYSE or NASDAQ listed) for electrical utility and or renewable electrical generation to replace the BEP units in my RRSP.

Thank you

Q: With the expected downturn in profits and the problems on social media should I take my 300% increase and run or wait it out? Meanwhile it has been going up $4.00, $2.00 etc almost daily and I hesitate to let it go.

Q: Is the news from yesterday of a large stockholder selling out completely a reflection of the company's future outlook? Do you think the stock remains in the doghouse for the next quarter? This year? Does it make sense to book a loss now and rethink in the future? How do you view its prospects and valuation after today's price change?
Regards

Q: Hello, it would seem that AXP has experienced a pullback and looks undervalued compared to its peers. Would you consider AXP a buy over MA and/or V ?

Q: You last looked at this in 2022 and didn't sound very good. But the stock stopped going down in October and has been driving higher since then, especially over the last few months. Has something changed with Comcast's fortunes?

Q: For a non registered account which etfs would your recommend for broad US and for tech exposure and what max weighting would you recommend allocating to these 2 etfs? Would these 2 etfs be the best for US exposure for the TFSA also or would you suggest different ones?

Q: AAPL has had a great run.

This is probably a non-obvious question what any leads on what would be an AAPL-like stock circa pre-iPhone?

Q: Public storage and cell tower stocks are down significantly this year. Were they simply over-valued previously? Assuming interest rates will stabilize, do you feel that they may offer above average returns going forward? Your favourites listed on US and Canadian exchanges?

Q: Hi,

Can you please compare these two stocks? Which do you prefer today? I realize you do not follow wix as closely, but it seems like they have very similar business models and product offerings while wix trades at a lower multiple.

Q: Seth Klarman's fund reported a recent trimming of Alphabet and a new purchase of Amazon. Since he is a renowned value investor how would you explain that trade from a value investor's perch? Could it be that a company like Amazon which operates many global businesses and that may be poised to move into several others meaningfully (healthcare, etc) and potentially dominate in those cannot be traditionally valued because it provides future growth opportunities like no other company can and because of that isn't able to be predictably valued? Could it be that someone like Mr Klarman is investing in Amazon for the long term because he sees no company that compares with its potential, not even an Alphabet? Could it actually be reasonably priced as a "one-of-one" company? Would like your opinion on this "analysis" of Amazon. Thank you.

What do you think about DJCO as a stock to invest in at this time?

Thanks

Q: As a curiosity I thought it would be interesting to compare these two, noting they seem to be competitors in many ways. Frankly bit looks like Blackstone trounces Brookfield on stock performance over almost every time length. Do you have any thoughts on comparing the two and Blackstone’s value as a financial alternative asset holder?
