Investment Q&A

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

Q: Do you think there will be a competitive offer? UEC’s offer seems to be a “low ball” offer due to lack of a cash component. Do you think CCO would make an offer? I’m told they once held UEX stock but liquidated their position in order to reduce debt. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i. I'm not sure if anyone has ever posed you a question about any of these companies, all of which have substantial operations in Canada.

Obviously, the expectation of continued interest rate hikes will have a strong negative effect on these companies' business this year. Taking a step back, though, do you see much to separate them as investments? For instance, is any of them materially more indebted than the others? Any thoughts you might have would be welcome.

Q: I heard to a podcast recently talking about natural gas being the key to reducing coal use. I'm curious if there any Canadian names that are primarily involved in natural gas with little involvement in crude oil? Pipeline or gas transportation companies?

Can you recommend an ETF to play natural gas in either the US or Canada?

Thanks!

Q: Hi, further to your reply on real return bonds to Alex on April 28th, I am trying to understand the return I could expect to receive on XRB from the underlying bonds vs. the inflation component.

For XRB, Blackrock currently shows the weighted average coupon at 2.33% and the the weighted YTM (coupon plus amortized realized gain/loss) at 3.43%. My understanding is that YTM is the true measure of bond return. If I bought this ETF could I theoretically expect to receive a 3.43% return from the underlying bonds in addition to an annual principal increase from inflation. So if inflation averaged 3% per year could I expect 3.43% YTM plus 3% inflation principal increase = 6.43% total annual return. Is that generally how it would work? Also would the annual principal increase just be added to the NAV of the ETF?

Thanks.

Q: As a follow up to my last question, do you think Keyera is better than Pembina in the sense that it is almost exclusively natural gas processing, storage, etc. vs Pembina that has more exposure to oil. I understand that Keyera is much smaller, but given that I also own Enbridge size is not my biggest concern as long as its big enough.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi Guys,

Which 20 lower risk stocks would you recommend to build out a $2,000,000 portfolio that will produce $ 80,000 in dividend income?

Would you want to spread out the risk and be in many sectors and stay only in Canada to take advantage of the dividend tax credit laws?

How much of the div is taxed if it’s a U.S stock compared to a Canadian stock?

Thank you for all your help & great services

Q: Dear 5i team.

Please provide an updated view of FLOW given recent Q results reported.
It's fall from IPO to current penny stock status is alarming. What ,in your view, does the Founder/now CEO need to do to right this ship and get the stock back to IPO levels? Can you give us a sense of the numbers they need to achieve to make this a possibility?

Many thanks for your insights.
