Q: Looking to buy one or both of these companies in light of recent weakness, this would either be for a taxable account or an RRSP (have some room in both for a new position). Would you hold off for now? Which would you buy first and what would you consider an attractive price? Thank you.
Q: Fire sale - V - 13 month low; MA just as bad; along with the rest of these. Do you think the people selling them have knowledge that we do not have and that is why they are selling these stocks. What is your take on what is happening? Thanks
Q: Poor Visa! What are your thoughts? Will other big companies or Amazon North America etc start rejecting visa too? I have been eyeing Visa and Mastercard for a while now. Is this a good time to buy Visa or wait and see if it falls through $190/200? Buy visa or mastercard, or both, or neither?
Your answer offered a number of suggestions all of which indeed generate good dividends but offer minimal (for the most part) in the way of capital gains.
Can you please tell me how your answer might have been different if the question had asked for;
"Top USD stocks for dividend income which have the potential for good growth/capital gains moving forward please."
Q: With MasterCard recently announcing entry into the BNPL space, would this potentially make it a better purchase for a longterm hold than Visa, if adding only one of these companies today? Thanks for all of your advice.
Can you please explain the emergence of the Canadian Depositary Receipts (CDRs), how they work, under what circumstances one should buy them ie. what kind of investor how they trade, and your overall opinion on them?
Q: Am wondering which of these stocks are vulnerable to climbing interest rates. For the vulnerable ones, would you please advise at what point you would consider reducing or selling them. Also, a strategy on when and how to do such an assessment would be instructive.
Thanks for your great advice. Most of your subscribers say this regularly, but they probably really mean it ! If it weren't for 5i, I'd still be holding a bag of mutual funds not knowing how big my losses were.
I currently have AXP, V, MA and PYPL in my portfolio. I’m wondering if I should sell something to reduce redundancy and if so, in which order, given the outlook for growth?
Also in the same sector, I have on my watchlist AFRM, NVEI and SQ, all of which seem to have a long runway ahead. Should I add one or more of these new names either by selling from the first group or just as an add?
I’m new to this forum and I’m very appreciative of your insights. Thank you in advance!
Q: Crypto currency seems on the rise. Good short article today in Barron's. This is a real threat to visa and mastercard business models. I would not want to own those stocks. On the other hand, Versa bank (vb) should benefit and they are about to get us broker coverage with their pending Nasdaq listing. It could see a huge increase in share price. Gosh the company even makes good money.
Q: Hello 5i Research
I have held Visa ,MasterCard and PayPal for a while in my US RRSP account and happy with the performance.Would consider them as an reopening stock and performance even better as people travel more and go out more.
Thanks
