Investment Q&A

Q: I hold 2,000 shares of BPY.UN in my RRIF. Is there any indication as to the yield on the BPY Preferred units (0.7268 per BPY.UN unit) will be? I need a high cash flow to meet the required annual withdrawal from the RRIF. If I sell the BPY.UN shares where can I find a similar yield for my RRIF?
Brookfield plans to start a Global Impact Fund. Are there any details available and when is expected to open?

Q: I have been looking at these two ETFs. The top 10 holdings in VDY look like buy and hold companies. It seems a bit heavy on banks so really wondering about your short-term outlook on CDN banks for the rest of the year?

HGRO has had a good run in 2020 and certainly not expecting as spectacular in 2021, but do you think it will continue to do reasonably well (your thoughts would be greatly appreciated please? I realize you do not have a crystal ball).

Do you think the combo of these two would be a good idea say 50:50? The idea would be for growth as remainder of portfolio is with you balanced ETF model portfolio.

Thanks so much.

Q: In answering another question you indicated price appreciation was likely already baked in for MRNA however at 6x earnings, a huge cash position, people not willing to get vaccines and the probability of ongoing covid variants, is this stock not a screaming buy? Your analysis please.

Q: I have an RESP for our 3 year old son that we opened a couple years ago. Current value is about $35K and comprised of BCE, BIPC and ENB in about equal values plus a slightly higher amount in BPY.UN. Thinking about selling BPY now deal with BAM is finalized and considering adding a couple of more growth oriented companies as focus was more dividend/stability before. Cdn or US stocks or ETF's are fine as options.

Q: Hi 5i,
Are the skies starting to clear for Air Canada? The one remaining cloud that I can see is the potential Fed bailout? I don’t hear much about it anymore. I am thinking that the Feds don’t want to bail out the airlines but hope they make it to the other side with the vaccines rolling out. I think the trade-off was a full refund of fares, which the airlines have resisted so far. What are your thoughts on this for AC? I have some shares but am wondering if this will be a catalyst or not?
Thanks again.

Q: Lot of investors with astronomical results pick up good companies way earlier than others. I am following some people on Twitter with results of like 1000% in one year.

What would be the top 5 go to stocks in this category in Canada and US which no one really knows much about and with not much analyst following?
