Investment Q&A

Q: You answered a question today about your choice of the best materials stock to buy. Your answer was NTR. Why did you suggest this as your top materials pick? Thanks for your support.

Q: If you were to add one materials stock to your portfolio today what would you add?

thanks,

Q: What do you think of MOO? I notice you usually recommend COW. Also, I'd like to buy wheat or corn stocks. Is it too late? If not, can you recommend any, prefer CAD, also open to US.
Thanks for your help.

Q: What would you invest in when inflation is a problem?

Q: Further to my question of March 19, I have received the funds which represent 15% of my non registered account ( and 7.5 % of total portfolios).
I have added the hedged ZQQ to the list as I have no tech exposure in any portfolio and have a US property being 20% of my total assets, thus providing adequate currency diversification.
I used one third of the new funds to purchase BAM and am now looking for the next 2. Your suggestion and reasons are appreciated. Derek

Q: What is your view on commodity prices relative to the recovery from the pandemic and/or the global efforts to curb carbon omissions? Is the demand outpacing supply and if so what are the companies or ETF's to hold over the coming years? Is there any particular metals that one should focus on?

Q: Good Afternoon, could I get a few of your favorite material stocks as of right now in each of the US, Canada, and Global if applicable.

thx, Mark

Q: Hi 5i Team
I'm considering inserting a materials sector in portfolio as I am suspecting they are undervalued. Looking at 5 stocks for 1.5% each. 1 each for Gold, Silver, Copper, Steel and Agriculture. Would the 5 names submitted be the best in your opinion or would you change any. Looking for reasonable safety and growth.
Thanks. Gilles

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. A question earlier today has motivated me to finally ask this question....been thinking of it for quite a while. It had to do with potential rising interest rates and your response was that dividend investors should be prepared for a bumpy ride in the short term (my paraphrase of your answer).

I own the above securities and for the most part trim-add around core positions that I hold for the long term. Is it possible to divide the above securities into two camps....one that would be "ok" in a rising interest rate environment and the other that I should consider trimming a bit or maybe selling? I am ok riding things out for the long term and do not normally react to short term volatility.

Thanks for your help....Steve

Q: I will be converting my RSP to a RIF next year resulting in my income increasing some 50 % and with money I do not not need for my present lifestyle. The account is full of banks, reits, pipelines, infrastructure , utilities etc., as is my non registered account which is the same size as the RSP. Does it make sense to adjust the non registered account to more growth stocks , and hence less income ? I I have listed some prospective stocks. A crazy idea to reduce income and perhaps this is outside your.venue but any thoughts are appreciated. Derek

Q: Hi 5i,

Over the next few years would you pick MX or NTR for minerals exposure?

Thx

Q: Good afternoon - I took positions in the above several months ago, thanks to your suggestion, and all have fared quite well. However, both MG and LUN are at what appears to be their highest levels in several years while NTR enjoyed a higher valuation years back. All three have immodest P/E ratios at this time. Do you foresee additional loft to their prices or is it perhaps already time to do a bit of harvesting? Thank you.

Q: I am interested in the agriculture section. What would be your favourite Canadian stocks in this area. Thanks so much for all your excellent advice.
Cathy

Q: I have roughly equal positions in the above and am thinking of selling GSG, which is doing ok but no dividend, and increasing my positions in NTR and LUN. Your thoughts, please? Any downside to this? Is the upside of the dividend worth it? Thanks

Q: If I wanted exposure to the growth in commodities can you suggest your top 3 picks

Q: Hi. Own NTR. Has performed well. That said, considering switching for COW. Dividend better with NTR but reduce one company risk. Would still have focused exposure to the sector. Thoughts?

Q: If you had to buy one materials stock right now, what would you buy? Canadian or US. I already have MAG:CA.
Thanks

Q: Will you please give me your top choices in Forestry stocks, at present, Can either be CAN or US.

Also, please give your top choices in either country for Agriculture Stocks.

Thank you. Please take 2 credits.

Q: In my previous question about Earth Alive Clean Technology you mentioned the % of insider and institutional holding, wouldn’t you view that as a positive , especially for such a small company? The market for the sectors they’re in is very large, with the above companies I’ve referenced, if Earth Alive Clean can grab an increase in market share with their new products it could transformational for them , no?

Q: Can you suggest good entry points for the following stocks? Looking to enter these and if this is the start of a correction, this may be my opportunity.

How would you rank them from best to least? SHOP, MG, NTR?

Thanks,
Jason
