Investment Q&A

Q: Can you think of any companies that would be potential buyers of Sprout?

Q: Great and timely article yesterday on this "Phoenix market". With that in mind, which companies in the US manufacturing, health care, energy and technology industries would you be comfortable putting money into today with a 10 plus year hold with a medium/high risk tolerance? Are there any US names that you think should be full positions in the majority of such portfolios? Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem appropriate.

Q: For my USD TFSA, could you please recommend a US ETF short term bond equivalent?

Thank you.

Q: Hello,

Your thoughts on FIZZ please?
Also, given the fact that more than 62% of shares being shorted as of today, in your opinion does it have a potential to a rally a-la GME?

Thank you

Q: Hi 5I
I would like your thoughts on Flugent Genetics.
I’m up over double with it, and wondering if I should take some off the table, or just let it run. Also I want to comment,as a member, I’ve done very well using the advice you have put forth through questions and answers.

Q: BNGO What is your thoughts on this company, do you think it will be added to Cathie Wood's ARK ETF.Thanks.

Q: I have these 2 stocks in my RRSP, each just over 2% weight. I have long standing disappointment with ENB (I am down about 15%). The dividend is impressive but no tax credit with it being in the registered account. I am thinking of selling it and adding to the ABBV. I am well diversified through the rest of my portfolio and am not concerned with reducing by a position. So, questions to you: which of these 2 has better long term potential for overall return? Any concern with going to 4.25 % weight in ABBV? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi
Is there any explanation you are aware of for the decline in irtc today?
Thank you.

Q: What would be good price to enter GOOG and AMZN

Q: hi 5i team

2 beginners questions about options

Question 1; This may seem like a silly question. I owned 300 shares of FLGT for a while, then I sold 3 july calls at 47.5 Now the silly question is, when the call expires, do I have to give specific instructions to the brokerage, or do they just see the 300 shares in my account and automatically sell them at 47.50 ? (since I did not place both the buy share order and sell call at the same time).

Question 2a and 2b: For the sake of the question, let's assume a zero bid ask spread. From what I see in the quotes in my account, and suppose the call was to expire at the same prices tomorrow, then I would be better (by about 1000$ US) to buy back the calls and sell the shares at the current prices then to let it execute ! I am surprised by that, any comment you can make, does it seem normal ?
Question 2b: then IF I thought the price of the stock would keep going up, it would be better to close out the position now.
many thanks

Q: Would you still be adding to CRNC if I watched it instead of jumping in and could you highlight the opportunity/risks. I do own Hyre and wondering if you could comment pls on the new partnership? (market seems pleased)

Q: Both of these vaccine stock are having huge gains today, Jan 29, especially Novavax on it's very good 3rd trial results. Would now be a good time to enter with the whole world needing more vaccines and these two have confirmed their efficacy? Or still too speculative? Thanks for your timely guidance.

Q: Good day ,
Please comment on recent quarter .
Thx
Mark

Thank-you,

Q: Hi Team,
I have no exposure to the online gambling theme that seems to have promise for growth. Do you still believe that this is a good theme to be buying into for the long term? And if so, what's the best way to play it? I was thinking Flutter? But, its came a long way from its 52 week lows. What's the chances of it going back to that level and was the rise justified? And do you believe it's uptrend will continue long term? I know you also mentioned before it has a much better valuation than Draftkings, although DKNG still seems to move with more leverage for the time being. I wonder if Flutter will eye a US listing to get their valuation up? I never hear Flutter talked about on sites such as CNBC. ( I assume its because its a European Company and CNBC would rather talk about Draftkings)? Another possiblity I was looking at was Score Media. Please let me know your thoughts.

Also on a seperate topic...CELH has dipped some off its highs. Is it a buy today. And your quick thoughts on how big of potential you see this company having in 5-10yrs. Is it a stock that could multi-bag from here? Deduct as many points as required. Thanks!

Shane.

Q: How would you characterize/rank TXN in the semi space? Is it diversified in its product offerings versus others and would you recommend it as an all-around buy or are there others you would prefer that may be more focused or in other markets? Thanks

Q: I want to build an American ETF portfolio of 5-6 ETFs that pay a decent (4%-5%) yield. I have historically bought Canadian hedged ETFs for that purpose however I think there is a possible currency advantage to be had. I have looked at many many ETF questions in the 5i ETF folder and they seem to be very Canadian based. Would you be able to suggest 5-6 US based ETFs or more if you want to add a few more.
Thanks
Norm
