Investment Q&A

Q: With severe weather causing a backlog of ships in Vancouver, one might expect WTE's shares to soon dip and present a good buying opportunity. What do you think? Apart from WTE, are there other shipping/port stocks worth considering?

Q: I've been considering adding MRK to my portfolio - Would you be comfortable with this company? Why the recent plunge? I already own ABBV and MED.

Q: When do they report earnings next?

Thanks

Q: I recently purchased a position in AFM. I also recently asked a question on it and comments from 5I were generally favorable but since then the new variant arrived and with the company based in The Congo would this be a cause for concern. Thanks

Q: I'm looking for a fund of fund for an RRSP that will provide geographical and sector diversification but I don't want the fund to hold bonds.

Q: I understand that mining stocks are good value right now. can you tell me which areas specifically are good value and can you recommend an ETF?
thanks

Q: Greetings:
I missed the September 20-21 virtual ETF show, and was wondering if you could provide any link for a replay of at least the presentation made by MOEZ MAHREZ, and perhaps the whole show.
Thank You,
Ben.

Q: What happened to this company since a couple of year and could you give me some information concerning their business relation with Pyrogenesis (PYR.TO)? Please.

Thank you

Q: Just read a piece in FP on the option market and TSLA which appears to be an iceberg. While I have worried about TSLA and what it might do to the market should it crash it appears like I have missed an even larger worry. Is a TSLA failure capable of being a black swan event for the market as a whole?

Q: When you refer to a " long term holding period ", can you be more specific to the time period in years? The reason I ask is some of the research I have done on Morningstar referrs to greater than 9 months as long term. Thank you.

Q: They're are 7 analysts following this stock with an average of 12.45 12 months out. Does it have any chance to doing this. Do they get these targets on a perfect scenario because it seems far fetched to me. What does 5i have as a target price.

Q: What do you think is going on with the Canadian tech sector? Today is a perfect example with US tech companies climbing (not surprising given that the NASDAQ is up 250 points) while the vast majority of Canadian companies remain in the red (eg. AT, STC, CTS, LSPD, SHOP, TOI, CGY). I appreciate that our companies (less SHOP) are much smaller but something doesn't seem quite right here. Could it be that short positions have been opened up by international investors against the entire sector?

As always, would appreciate your analysis.

Q: Morning:

I've got some cash to top up one of my tech holdings.
Which of theses 3 do you feel has the best growth potential at current valuations over a 5 year timeline.

Thanks in advance,
Greg.

Q: Further on Magna, why wouldn't Biden's desire to protect the US auto industry, in particular EVs, not be a risk to Magna?

Q: Would you recommend investing in CRWD at this nervous time or wait until
the new covide disturbance is over?

Q: Wow, really getting pummeled today. I was searching to see if there was news re a financing tied to the acquisition announced today, but couldn't find anything. Any news out there that you can see which could be contributing to today's drop. Seems the wind coming out of TFII sails lately.

Q: Hi 5i,

I'm new to the service and joined with the hope of finding an unbiased second opinion on my portfolio of stocks. I had the good fortune of purchasing in my TFSA SHOP ($1200); LSPD ($26.31); SE ($149); MELI ($769.45) and continue to hold. This year, not so good, I had purchased REAL ($18.16); ABST ($13.79); AT ($10.36) which with the exception of MX are all currently in the red.

My problem is that given my current YTD is at -13% I should probably shake up the TFSA. However, when I look at each stock individually I just can't bring myself to sell, I love the growth potential of them all.

I'm (obviously) ok with volatility in my portfolio and I do not anticipate needing the funds for 3+ years. I would appreciate your thoughts or ranking of these stocks in terms of growth potential from this point forward. Are there better stock opportunities I should consider out there for my TFSA ?

Thank you in advance.
