Q: hello 5i:
I hold AVGO, and have done very well with it, but the valuation is beginning to look stretched. I'd like to stay in the same sector, but most tech valuations look high. INTC and LRCX look "reasonable". While not completely similar (subsectors differ), can you give me your opinion of these two companies? I've reviewed other questions eg you like NVDA, but with a PE of 90, as compared to INTC's 9, I can't see this as a contest (yes, I realize there is more to valuation than just looking at PEs). We also own CSU, OTEX, and PANW in this technology, with a small position in PHO. Normally, we're very long time holders eg. bought CSU at $115 (no, not a misprint). Look forward to your comments, as I really dislike stock gains to evaporate, unless they're being held for income.
thanks

I would really like to see some type of historical listing? under the porfolios tab to capture the changes that were made to the model portolios over the years. Example: NFI, RHT. Price the shares were bought and sold for a loss. The winners are very highly touted and rightfully so, but to the casual subscriber, it almost appears that 5i has never picked a bad one? Maybe you could do it by the year?? Just a thought. Thanks again.
Q: I’d like to dip my toe into doing a bit of technical trading. Are there signals that you prefer to use, and is there a specific kind of security (maybe an example) that this type of trading might work better on? Also, would this work for ETFs? I’ve been watching VGG using the MACD but I don’t think it’s a good candidate since it tends to trade in a narrow band and the signal seems to be too late getting in and out.
Q: It seems the Liberals are going to heave a whole lot of money at likely renewable energy and infrastructure in the coming months. Does 5i have some suggestions where some of its subscribers would place some investment funds?
Q: Please rank these stocks. Are they at a level that they could be bought today. For your highest ranked stock, why do you rank it higher than the others
Q: Re" Chris's question where to park house sale proceeds - I too just sold our house (in the process of building another over the next year) and am looking for short term low risk yield. I opened a Tangerine savings and checking account - who offer 2.5% for the first 5 months ($million max) Offer code is "EARNMORE". You have to open both a checking and savings account to qualify. No restrictions after the 5 months and the advisor I talked to told me that before moving the money out - to talk to them as they may extend the offer or provide another offer at that time. Question for 5I - With CDIC limits at $100K - would moving the max over for the 5 months be seen to be "too risky". I really don't want to have to open a bunch of accounts to lower what I see as pretty low risk of bank failure. Thanks
Q: Hello,
Just joined and have a question about Alaris conversion to an income trust. I have had shares for several years in a non-registered account that have now been converted to an income trust. These shares were purchased at a much higher price than they now trade at. I'm not happy with the conversion of the shares to an income trust as I know I will be paying more income tax on the distributions in a non-registered account. Additionally, Alaris has somehow taken the original cost of my AD shares and substituted a much lower cost for an equal number of AD.UN shares. I called TD Brokerage and they said they have to go by the value supplied by Alaris. This leaves me unable to claim a large capital loss on my income tax when I sell these shares. This seems to be a very poor business practice and unfair to shareholders. Is this a common practice in these types of conversions and is there any recourse available that you are aware of in getting my original cost base reinstated? Thank you.
Dear 5i,
can you help tell me which data providers you use on your web site for your members;
Fundamental data?
Share Holdings Information?
Share Short Information?
I have access to multiple data sources with my discount broker so when I am researching a stock I want to avoid looking at the duplicate sources to save me time.
Q: Every morning I read all news that occurred overnight on the companies that I own. I then move to articles about the sector news about each company and then to the world geo political news. Almost everyday I read an article in Yahoo news about LSPD. Recently my thoughts have turned to a conflict of interest between the companies, especially small to mid cap stocks, and the news organizations that produce the articles. It is almost entirely the same information twisted a little. Is there a conflict of interest between the two organizations, News organizations and the companies? Or are the news organizations just want the clicks to their platform for advertising stats? I assume the company does not object because they are positive articles and any positive article is a benefit.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Clayton
Q: I own some BPY in my RSP and had been looking at adding more on the strength of Brookfield management, however am taking pause after learning of their intentions to acquire and operate retail companies.
How do you view this approach and how secure do you think their distribution is ?
Q: about this previous question, when you click on the link provided it goes to Rate supermarket site with the rate you quoted, but when you go to the Tangerine Site the rate it is substantially less, why is that? https://www.tangerine.ca/en/rates
Q: Good afternoon 5I.
Today Chris had a question regarding where to put his money from his home sale. You guy suggested a one year GIC that's paying 2.15 %.

Thanks
