Q: Dear 5i,
Can you please suggest some Global Small Cap Value ETF's or Funds which are available in either US or CDN exchanges that are worth doing more reading on.
The ETF's can be passive or active.

thanks

Q: Hi, Recent chatter on 5i suggests Topicus shares as Bargain at $44 and Very Attractive at $25 (Based on present Sales), while it is currently trading at $78 after touching a High of $94. So two Questions:
1. Is the stock Expensive at current valuation ($78-$80) or a Good Buy ?
2. If we need to revisit Constellation Software, let's say 10 yrs ago, when stock traded in $80-$90 range, did CSU stock look Expensive or different from TOI's valuation Today ?

I am trying to visualize TOI from the same lens as CSU ( and its history) and make a reasonable assumption and investment decision, although CSU performance may not necessarily be replicated.

Thank You

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i team!

Please identify 6 currently undervalued US stocks (small, mid, large cap) with a track record of healthy dividend growth to sock away in an RRSP for the long term, in your order of preference. Thank-you.

Q: Hello 5i,
Income value investor with some growth stocks. Just received 16 shares of OGN. At 75 years I don't think I want to wait for "maybe" some growth. No dividend either. I would just sell them and by a few more MRK. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Q: What are you thoughts on using broad based ETFs as "cash" in a portfolio? It seems like that's how the ARKK funds operate, except they are using stocks (I think GOOG and AMZN). To give you some context, my portfolio is mainly VGRO/VEQT, with some 5i stock suggestions for growth mixed in. I dollar cost average into the ETFs every two weeks but I'm wondering how I should approach adding to some of my stock positions and/or start a new position. Thanks as always.

Q: I have to laugh about inflation/CPI gaining ground versus same time last year? Really? With lock downs and pent up demand who would expect anything else. I read a great article from the head of the Fisher group in the USA. To summarize: this is transitory for the two reasons I mention and others. Be interested in 5i comments. Oh, the huge debt precludes any significant move up for interest rates. Would be happy to send it to you - very bright guy.

Q: This could be not so bright question but I'll ask anyway. I have been involved in self directed investing for a few months now. My plan is to create a 250k balanced portfolio....watch and learn for a while and then begin to invest the balance of my cash assets. I deployed the first tranche based on the sector allocations in my original plan. However as I have been building the portfolio stocks in various sectors have gone up and down....mostly up thankfully. Here's the question. Should I calculate my sector allocation percentages by the book cost...so I can get a baseline as I add more.....or by their current value. Thanks for your reply

Q: I am looking to buy cenovus for my portfolio. Is this a good time to buy a oil stock considering where the price of oil is going, the uncertainty of pipeline transportation, oil sector out of favor . If I am adding only one oil stock is cenovus the best one to add with the potential for significant upside.
