Investment Q&A

Q: Dear 5i team.

May I please have your updated views on TAN? Last flurry of Q's date back to Oct'21 when it bumped it's trading head at the 100 dollar range for several weeks before beginning current decent to 60ish.
How do the technicals/fundamentals look to you today and is it time to begin a small position?

Many thanks for your help.

Q: Hi 5i.

I have studiously avoided investing in tech companies, largely as a result of not taking an interest in/understanding their businesses. (This is similar to my reason for never investing in crypto, which I can see only as a load of hogwash.)

With the recent drawback in tech prices, I now have some interest in putting some money into a couple of tech stocks that have a good growth outlook in the near- and mid-term. With that as the goal, simply some growth over the next few months or year, what 2-3 names, Canadian or American, would you suggest? (NB: I am thinking of putting no more, and probably less, than 10% of my portfolio into this play.)

Thanks for your help.

Q: I own KL shares. Do I need to do anything to receive AEM shares or is the process automatic? If not automatic, what do I need to do?

Q: I currently hole MMM in a dividend portfolio on the US industrial side and thinking of ITP on the Canadian materials side. Are these to companies too similar in nature to include in a diversified portfolio? Would you have another dividend grower materials related stock to consider?

Q: I have been looking into HCAL lately as an alternative to buying Canadian bank stocks directly. I'm aware that it uses a little bit of leverage and possibly some covered call writing to increase returns and am comfortable with the increased risk. I noticed that it appears to rebalance its holdings quarterly moving 80% of the funds into the 3 most oversold banks. I'm assuming that this would create a fair amount of capital gains each year within the fund. Would this create a capital gains for the holders of the ETF at year end or would the holders only claim the capitals gains once the ETF is sold? If so would this be better held in a registered account? Additionally a portion of the distributions would be due to dividends from the banks. Would this portion of the distributions count as eligible dividends for the holders of the ETF?

Q: Your thoughts on PYPL, do you see a recovery anytime soon ? Or am I better to sell it and move elsewhere .

Q: Hello 5I. I have a full position at about the current price. With that said I am wondering if you still consider this stock to be a very good growth stock longer term? Or if you think there are much better alternatives in the high risk segment this lives in. Thanks

Q: I am light on materials. Please provide a recommendation for best 3 'materials' stocks in US and Canada at this time. What is a good materials ETF for reference. Thank you.

Q: Do you think we are looking at a dot com crash 2.0? It seems to be a slow meltdown with no end in sight. Thanks,

Q: Hello 5i Research team, not a question, more as a follow-up to your response to Sheldon's question earlier today about Park Lawn: I would like to mention that I believe a major factor that has allowed funeral homes to perform well in 2020 and 2021 is the COVID surcharge ($500+) imposed at each funeral in many jurisdictions for the additional sanitation measures required due to the pandemic. The profit margin on this surcharge seems to be quite generous in my opinion... Publish if you think this information can be useful. Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Please provide your top 3 US and Canadian industrial stock recommendations. And, what is the best ETF to cover industrials?

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

MG is showing a P/E of 16.85 yet the PEG is a -2.64 meaning that the company is losing money or that the estimated growth rate for future earnings is negative, indicating that the earnings of the company are expected to decrease in the future. Have I read this/interpreted this correctly? And if so, is MG a company we should be staying a clear of right now? Or do I have this all wrong?

Thanks for all you do
