Investment Q&A

Q: May I have your opinion on GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income, for income? It's a covered call fund yielding 12% dividend. The holdings include 45% metals and mining, 20% energy, and the rest in health, industrials, agriculture. It seems to be 55% held by insiders. How secure is it for income, in your opinion? Thank you.

Q: Good Morning Folks,

Do the waste management companies look good from a growth plus safety perspective at this time? How would you compare WM and WCN? Which would you prefer? Any other names that you like in this space?

Q: Hi!

I believe 5i has correctly stated in the past that in a recovery the bigger, stronger names will bounce earlier and more powerfully than smaller and perhaps more speculative names. Companies like TTD and TEAM have either bounced or held up better than names like RUBI or YEXT which fits your comments. SHOP vs LSPD in Canada would be another example. My question is not about these names specifically but if you could please list 4-5 names in the USA space that are well capitalized (can survive) and undervalued (haven't bounced like you might have thought yet). I am not looking for value stocks but growth themed stocks that have been unfairly punished or neglected in the recovery.
Thanks so much!

Q: Hello 5i!

Appreciate all the great work.
I am looking for a canadian as well as US listed tech ETF. And semi-conductor fund to be held in my RRSP. Diversification and of course hoping for long term growth.
Currently XIT (TFSA). Using the room in RRSP for US listed dividend stocks/ETF's. Or whichever is the most tax and growth efficient.

I'm wondering what your top picks are in that sector and why? One concern of mine is some have a much higher mer. Is that worth the performance in the long run?

Or better bang for your buck on keeping fees low as usual and the most diverse fund. Company and cap wise. Hence holding a primarily large cap and semi conductor. Or just 1 solid all around.

If I'm missing a far better pick please enlighten me.

Thank you for putting together such a great site and program. Info is fantastic.

Q: My question is what is the new cost base for UTX, now RTX?
I held UTX and then it spun off Carrier and Otis. With these spin offs, I thought my cost base would be reduced for the spin off values for Carrier and Otis. But itrade and also Globe & Mail still show the original UTX cost base. 
I read that the spinoff and merger where to a non-taxable events.....or that's I took it.
Any information you can provide me to clarify this situation......Thanks.....Tom

Q: Greetings!
How do you see these two for buying the dip? I'd expect they will fall short on earnings report. The dental field in Canada has been shut down for about 6 weeks. Any insight would be great! Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Luminex Corp seems to be quite active with a rising share price could you comment on this company as to why and the company itself. Thanks

Q: Although you do not specifically follow US companies, could I ask your opinion on this company, including fundamentals and volatility?

Q: Would you still consider AMZN a buy at the current price for a long term hold?

Thanks, Lyle

Q: In February you stated that you consider KEYS:US to be a weak buy. Do you still consider it to be a weak buy? What are the company negatives? I notice the company's stock appears to have weathered the Covid crisis better than other companies even though the stock is still down from its pre-crisis high.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: In response to the question about DowDupont's splitting into 3 entities and the subsequent tax handling, the spin out is recognized by CRA as an
Eligible spin off and you can elect to defer tax implications and restate the ACB of the 3 spin offs to accurately reflect this. Below are some links that may be of use to you.

Q: Hi Team,
I am wanting to buy both VEEV and DOCU as both long term growth plays, and to play into their current momentum. I don't have any free cash right now, so have to trim from a couple other stocks to do this. I was considering trimming half of my SQ holdings to buy DOCU, and trimming half of my TWLO holdings to by VEEV. Do you see any issues with these moves? Also, being that VEEV and DOCU are in high momentum right now should I wait for a pullback or would it be OK to buy these at current levels? Also...do you see VEEV and DOCU holding up after this covid scare is gone, or do you see risk of these momentum stocks falling on their face once the virus scare diminishes? Thanks for your advice!

Shane.

Q: Who are the main competitors? What competitive advantages does TEAM have compared to these competitors?

Q: Hi there,

Shopify appears that it will not continue it's rise. Sell now or buy more?
Berkshire Hathaway A seems to be, in essence, a pricey mutual/ETF fund but one that has fallen and history would suggest will rebound. Buy now or is it your thinking that Buffet and Monger are elderly and this increases risk and/or the Canadian $ too weak and/or stick with B and diversify. Or none of the above? Thank you.

Q: Hello again your thoughts on ABC:US
thanks again
