Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5I,
With China implications affecting Manual Life, would you consider selling my position and purchasing SunLife or would you have another solution?
Thanks, Earl

Q: With the NDP tail wagging the dog again and the possibility that capital gains taxes could well move from 50% to 75% what general changes do you recommend for those of us with a significant amount of appreciated stocks in our unregistered portfolios?

Q: What’s your prognosis for this company? Is there any value in holding any longer? I am massively down on this stock…looks like it’s going to zero. Is there any value here?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team.

I was wondering if you could give a US list for the question asked back on September 17, "Would you have a short list of 5 companies that should be on a watchlist for when (if) a 10% downturn comes before Christmas ?"

Thanks.

Q: If the market keeps falling for a bit is there anything particularly attractive? Can you try as best as possible to consider the effects of the Evergrande (potential) collapse all the while presuming that economic fallout will be mostly contained? In other words if new construction in China slows and it has some effect on mining and iron ore prices (for example) what is not effected or what kinds of companies and in which sectors will actually benefit? Or am I just overthinking developments that have too many moving parts to really make sense of? Thank-you.

Q: I currently hold the following Industrial sector stocks: AC, CAE, MRS (very small position), WSP, XBC
Looking at adding ATA or TFII. Would you have a preference at this time and why ?
Many thanks.

Q: I was curious to know your perspective on Linamar and its current trading price during this risk-off market. The CEO has been buying 4 million dollars worth of shares at a higher price level and the last earning call seemed good. Albeit in a very cyclical sector, Analyst's conscientious is upwards of 100$/share. I want to increase my allocation to the industrial sector before the infrastructure bills go through. Would LNR be a good Candidate at this price point or are there better opportunities today that catch 5i's eyes? Thank you as always.

Q: Once the unsettled state of the market suggested by today's gapping down on the DIA, QQQ and IWM (i.e. as of noon, at least) steadies, would you favour a purchase of NYCB as a steady source of $U.S. income or would you think that BNS:NYSE (for example) could be preferable (i.e. at least for a margin, hence, taxable account)?
Thanks,

Q: On Holding AG (ONON). I see these shoes becoming quite popular. It recently IPO'd with Roger Federer an early investor. They have not reported as a public company. I wonder your thoughts on this company and can you add the ticker. I was early in FIGS and ordered some product and it is quite good. I don't want to be too early in ONON.

Q: What is the "Exchangeco" company? Does it makes sense to take the option of exchangeco shares?

From the circular:

Eligible Canadian shareholders will be able to elect to receive shares of Exchangeco (“Exchangeable Shares”) in lieu of the Penn Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled. Each whole Exchangeable Share will be exchangeable for one whole Penn Share, subject to adjustment.

Q: Hi group i have some cast to deploy ($89,000) what would you suggest to take advantage off the pullback and when to invest please give me 6 stocks regardless of sector /market. Also why you think they are worthy of getting my money. Date to invest would be big help (i know its a guess) thanks for your guidance its much appreciated

Q: Why did this stock go down so much yesterday (Sept. 20)? Is this cause for concern?

Thanks,

David

Q: Hi, what might be the impact on electric utility and renewable energy companies of sustained higher prices of natural gas? I understand natural powers many hydro generation plants. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and crew. I know that US tech companies are "not in your wheel house" and I also know that you have great insight. so I am interested in your opinions on the following.
I am watching that both Rivian and Global Foundries Inc. are applying to the SEC this fall to go public. Both appear to be in a good space for long term trends/needs. I am interested in long term investing in these companies when they come to market.
Thoughts?
BTW - Peter, Loved the article in the FP about your father-in-law. Maybe the 2 above companies will give him " the action" he is looking for!

Q: Please recommend some materials or online resources that help explain stop loses.
I understand that 5i is not necessarily a fan of them but are there times when you might use one? Thank you
I appreciate your help.

Q: Hi 5i,

Will the China Evergrande Group crisis will be causing the US and Canada market in big problem? If there is any, which sectors will have most affected. Many thanks.

Q: In a normal market pull back , where do you see support levels in the tsx and the dow ?

Q: I have an interest in Circle (https://www.circle.com/en/) – expected to go public sometime before end of year.

I really like what they are doing. I have not invested in any cryptocurrencies before but believe that a stablecoin/this stablecoin is on the right track as they are working closely with regulators, are trying to be transparent….

1 – Your thoughts re this company are appreciated (if you have any background on this company).
2 – The IPO is being handled via a SPAC – with Concord Acquisition Corp. If I acquire stock in Concord (ticker symbol CND in the US) am I acquiring the equivalent of Circle ahead of its IPO? My understanding is that a SPAC can only acquire one company and if that is the case, is it the same as acquiring Circle (ahead of its IPO)?

Thank You.

Q: With the market down, Amazon looked like a possibility. When I searched for Amazon, this came up: AMAZON.COM CDR (CAD HEDGED) ( AMZN : NEO )

Could you tell me what this is? If it is legitimately Amazon, is it worth considering? Is NEO new exchange? Would it be wise to buy on NASDAQ?
Thanks

Q: Hi,
The recent questions on paying income tax on capital gains now, in case the inclusion rate rises, mention a 30 day buyback period. I thought this 30 day wait before repurchase was applicable to capital losses only. If I sell shares and realise a capital gain, I don't have to wait 30 days to buy the same shares back. Is this correct?
Thanks
