Investment Q&A

Q: I bought the dip in MED after their last earnings call. I am currently down around 20%. It looks like it has stabilized somewhat, and might be on an uptrend. I was thinking of adding to my position, although I'm a bit hesitant to do it before their earnings call on Nov 4.
What's the best thing to do in this situation? Buy some now, and possibly add more after earnings come out? I know you like the stock. This is for my TFSA.

Thank you for all that you do.

Q: Peter; One downgrade and wham it’s off $45.00- I know you don’t like “ averaging down” but it seems overdone. Thanks. Rod

Q: Thank you for reading my question

Appreciate all your time and attention

Q: I have about $100K to invest in the US stock market to bring my portfolio closer to my intended US weighting, and I am looking for some US stock/ETF ideas.

My portfolio is already 25% Technology, and 16.5% Financials. So I don't need suggestions from those sectors. I was considering more VFV, but that has 25% Technology in it already, so maybe an ETF to complement that.

Can you suggest some US stocks that are not in the Technology or Financial sector that you would consider for a US style model portfolio. And also some ETFs holding US stocks that are light in Technology and Financials.

Thanks,
Paul

Q: Hi 5i,

In a non-registered U.S. dollar account I am looking for an ESG stock (no oil/gas, defence, tobacco, etc.) that has a yield between 4% to 6%. It should be a relatively stable company with some growth potential. It will be less than 1% of an overall balanced portfolio. I have come up with the following possibilities:
ABBV - +/-4.4% yield but patent for Humira coming off in 2023
MPW - +/- 5.4% yield healthcare reit (which seems stable)
WPC - +/- 5.4% yield reit (less stable than healthcare reit?)
CWEN - +/-4.4% yield green energy (not sure if it should be class A or C shares)
I would like your thoughts/opinion on these please for a long-term "little worry" 3 to 5 year hold.
And please, please please if you have other suggestions I would love to hear those!!

Thanks for your wonderful service.

Q: When does nvda report earnings. Its up big today is their any news.

Q: Following up on your recent comments on Intel.
With there plans to build 2 new plants in the USA and the Congress in the process of passing a bill that would provide partial funding for these plants, at the current price and PE in single digit, is there not potentially great value at this price over the next few years? Plus a yield at 3% while you wait! I understand they are not the greatest growth play, but they are Intel? What am I missing??

Q: What are your thoughts on this company.

Thank for your great service.

Q: Citi continues to be the perennial underachiever in its club. I trimmed down to a half-position months ago. From reading the financial media, I sense that the relatively new CEO should be able to push Citi out from its corner where it sits wearing a dunce-cap. One worries however about the massive costs inevitable in most turnarounds. Do you have an opinion on whether such costs are implicit in Citi’s current low price. Is it worth topping up the position? If no, what is better — ride it out or give up on the poor thing before it makes me poor? I sometimes hold on to securities that are generally disliked because they often turn out to be strong performers later.

Q: 5i Team.
I would be interested in your comments and review of the proposed TSX IPO from Northern Genesis Acquisition (SPAC) to support the transaction with Embark. Specific questions I have include:
1) Does the financial transaction; including actual cash injection and share ownership by Northern Genesis of the merger line out to other SPAC deals?
2) Pros/cons of perhaps investing directly in Embark on NYSE with NGAB vs. the proposed TSE listing of NGCS?
Thx. Steve

Q: Hello 5i,
Portfolio Analytics indicates that I need to add about 1.35% to my Consumer Discretionary/Cyclical and further that I need to increase my U.S. exposure by about 3.05%, so I am looking for a U.S. name that pays a decent dividend above, say, 2.25% in this sector & geography.
Some names that came up from a link (U.S. Dividend Aristocrats) you had previously supplied, in response to another question, that I was considering are:
Genuine Parts - GPC
Leggatt & Platt - LEG
McDonald's - MCD
VF Corp - VFC
So, my questions are:
1. Out of my list are there any concerns over dividend safety?
2. Safety of business in general?
3. Given my need for dividend income in this sector, would you have any other suggestions you might prefer over these names in terms of safety of both business and dividend?
My current Cons. Discretionary/Cyclical holdings are LNF in Canada and MGA (Magna) on the U.S. side.
Retired, income-oriented investor otherwise well-balanced and diversified.
Thanks for any help you can provide - always very much appreciated!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: I currently hold Abbvie and looking to add a second health care sector name to our portfolio.
