Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Your opinion of the five single-stock ETF’s offered by Purpose Investments, generally and specifically. I’m thinking, in particular of replacing a small holding of the NEO-listed GOOG with Y-GOOG-NE. To complement a holding of GOOG (US).

Q: Hi 5iResearch

These two names seem to be different series for the the same etf, right?

If I am right, why do they have different prices per unit and how could their dist, be different while both are having the same underlying securities?

Could you please advise if there are differences in risk?

Do VBAL and XBAL also have different series?

Please as many credit as the question requires.

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,
CTS in my TFSA has been a bit of ride. In mid 2021 I was way up but held on the premise that selling winners leaves only losers, and there weren't dark clouds on the horizon - at least not that I saw. Now I'm way down. It's been a big swing.
I was pleased to hear the rumblings about a possible sale of CTS, as I'm sure many others may have been, but that unrewarded optimism has now made me, and others too perhaps, feel disappointed and even manipulated - definitely not good investor sentiment.
I glean from your recent answers to questions involving CTS that you think it's worth holding and I'm willing to do that, although the opportunity cost of having that money tied up waiting for a CTS rebound frustrates me.
So my question is simply, what is there about the future prospects of CTS that makes it a hold right now, and if there isn't a real positive response to the upcoming earnings announcement would it be time to sell, or is that too short term a view?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Hello 5i team,
I initiated a position in AND around the time you published a report on the company. The reasons were because of the niche market, growing dividend, partially involved in healthcare, and growth (although slowly).

A few questions:
-brief opinion on the most recent quarter(released March 2nd)?
-The one and only report was in 2021, would you be having one coming up?
-Would AND be a stock that you would add to one of the portfolios in the future?

Thanks,
Andrew

Q: Hi Guys
Can you list a few U.S. stocks with attractive Free cash flow Yields ( using EV instead of MCAP) preferably with stable cash flows, that trade at attractive Forward P/E ratios.
Looking also for a decent dividend. I was pondering IBM, their interest coverage looks decent, but their Total Debt/EBITDA looks a bit high at 4.0x
Thanks Gord

Q: I own SHOP, AMZN and BABA and might be a bit overweight in the online shopping space. I am thinking it might be wise to dump one of the three. SHOP is the smallest weighting of the three thanks to it's spectacular decline from where I purchased. All are in regestered accounts so no tax considerations. How would you rank these three against each other today and if you were going to drop one which one would it be?
