Investment Q&A

Q: In your earnings assessment you state:

"easyfinancial is seeing more 'secured' loans (33% up from 12.7%). Average loan rate fell to 32.7%, 37.5%. As interest rates rise we would like to see this trend reverse, of course."

Can I presume increase in secured loans is the reason for reduction in Avg. Loan Rate? Personally I would rather give a secured loan
rather than unsecured. Don't you think this trend would improve loan write offs?

Q: Hello 5i,
This is not a question, but rather a plea to all of those members reading this to consider checking out and using the forums for questions, help, conversation, resources, etc.
I recently posted a question and received some great info from other members which helped me a great deal.
The forums can be an even much more valuable resource if people choose to engage - and this benefits us all.
For those worried about the "risks" - there are few that basic due diligence can't address. In my experience over the past many years, the overwhelming majority of people who use them genuinely want to help others.
Anyway, personally, I will continue to "pop in" and check them out and I thank all the members who do engage there.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: I’m a believer in the further adoption of Fiverr’s ‘gig economy’ approach, and thus I’m wondering if you see anything to justify such a huge drawdown in today’s results? Or could this represent a good buy opportunity for a long term hold? Many thanks

Q: Good morning Ryan, Peter, and Team,

These are some of the stocks in my "growth" basket that have been most decimated in recent weeks. In which order might you sell, or would you suggest staying the course at this stage, given the dramatic share price drops? If selling, where might you move some of the cash for a (hopeful) rebound potential over the next six months? Thanks. Brad

Q: Do you think XQQ has more much downside potential ? Could this be a decent time to add more XQQ to an existing position for returns 2-3 years down the road?

Q: Just read in the Globe and Mail that Jim Pattison bought an additional stake in WTE, costing him $9.4 million loonies. This caught my eye, aka attention...what does he see about the future of WTE? Me, wondering if it would be a good dividend investment going forward for the portfolio of income stocks. Keen to get 5iR's take.......Many thanks......Tom

Q: I have a position in LMT. It's had a nice bump up in price although off it's recent highs. Considering the current market volatility, would you be taking profits or continuing to hold? Is it speculation due to the war, or fundamentals?

Q: Your thoughts on initiating a long term position in Tesla with these market conditions?

Q: For many years I have had full positions in each of BEP.UN, BIP.UN, and BAM.A, and have done very well with them. For purposes of portfolio weighting, I have always treated them each as separate entities in their respective sectors ie. Utiilities, Infrastructure, and Financial Services. I am getting ready to retire and have started looking at the relative safety of my portfolio more critically. Given that these 3 are all actually part of the same parent company (BAM.A), should I be worried about being invested too heavily in one company, or is it fair to keep treating them as separate moving parts? I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
It looks like BAM will be spinning off the asset management unit. On their earnings call, i believe they mentioned it and the stock went up quite a bit and then went down again. Now that it is confirmed, there was no reaction.. Any comments? In case they do spin it off as a shareholder would one get shares of new companies similar to their other spinoffs and would this results in surge in stock price? In other words, if you are a BAM holder , would it be good idea to buy more shares at current price of $61.00 cdn assuming it is within our allocation in our accounts. Much appreciated.
