Investment Q&A

Q: Nuevi announced an acquisition today and dropped $2. Topicus announced an acquisition and jumped $6. Why the opposite swings?

Q: For the above stocks you tend to be positive on, over the next 3 years please rank them in order with the main goal being capital appreciation (regardless of risk, sector or diversification)

Would your ranking change at all if:

1. Covid is still affecting the world as it is today with international travel somewhat restricted and variants posing a potential problem.

2. Covid becomes more and more contained and the world is as “open for business” as it was pre covid.

Q: Peter,
We own ALB and like that it is domicliled in the US. Looking at the holdings of REMX would you have any concern that many of the biggest holdings are located in China re: with the recent Tech issues ? Thank you.

Q: Can you comment ON's recent earning please? I noticed they have bought a big 12" fab from global foundry in 2019. Is that mean they might have better position compared to other Semiconductor companies with enough capacity for future growth? Any other thoughts on this company can you share?

Q: Is this ETF a safe way to invest in the banking sector in a RRIF account for income and some growth and do you believe the strategy used by this ETF can outperform other ETF such as ZWB or ZEB. Can you suggest a couple of alternatives ETF that are more appropriate for a RRIF or do you feel it is better to just own the individual banks.

Q: Could you comment on BTE's earnings, and its debt reduction efforts?

Q: I see a question today on the appropriate sector to assign Park Lawn Corp (PLC). The answer today was to place it in the Consumer Discretionary sector as per the TSX. However in the Dec 21/20 5iR report on PLC, it was placed in the Consumer Staples sector.

Up until today I have PLC in the Staples sector, but your response has me rethinking the appropriate sector, wondering if in fact PLC is actually a hybrid.

My tracking program allows for me to assign sectors by percentage. For example I have CSH as a hybrid of REITs and Health. Magna was a hybrid of Discretionary and Industrial. In this case, assigning a sector for PLC is not as simple as PBH being Staples or LNF being Discretionary.

I am leaning towards calling it a hybrid...would you agree?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: Your thought on Restaurant Brand quarterly report. Do you think that growth will accelerate and back to normal? Thank you!

Q: Hi ,
if you were to pick two stocks from the US markets to put one in the Model portfolio and one in the Growth which would you recommend. Please specify which one you would add to each portfolio.

Thanks.

Q: How you review the recent quarter ended? The stock had 6% to 8% move between day high and low on Friday, the day it released quarter ended results. Any guess of such kind of moves.

Thanks

Q: What sectors would you place the above companies?

Q: I have been invested in this company for many years. I'm receiving a small dividend that was cut in half several years ago. Over the years they have changed their primary operation from a patent troll to an investment corporation. They even won a court case over Apple (patent infringements) but have yet to be compensated. Are you aware of any positive corporate actions that may make Quarterhill more investable over the next few years. They are reporting next week and I am concerned that things may not have gone as well
as expected. Would you continue to hold on or would you throw in the towel.

Q: Hello 5i what are your thoughts on PINS, SPOT, ATVI and RBLX recent declines, I think all are overreactions for varying reasons (ATVI/RBLX getting dragged down with China crackdown on gaming, PINS USA MAU declined but everything else looks good, SPOT ... not sure what really changed here but it took a huge dive..) I like to buy a stock I know and follow anytime there is an overreaction like this. I know ATVI has culture issues with female harrasment and that has dragged them down as well but I don't really see how any of these stocks trajectory/themes have really changed all that much. How do you view these 4 stocks?

Q: Hi 5iTeam,
