Investment Q&A

Q: Hello
Down in Real and XBC hold or cut my losses and move on?
Hyre up big time take some profits or continue to ride?
Appreciate the great work you guys do, thanks.

Q: I go to 5i questions every day except for yesterday the 16th due to the recommendation not to go on the site as it was being updated. Thursday, the 17th I noticed that Trade Desk in my online account was out 90%. I searched all over my online account short of making a phone call and waiting 2 hours on hold. I then search all over my online account and there was nothing pertaining to the problem. I then went to Bloomberg Markets and there was nothing there about it. About 7:00 p.m. tonight - I checked my online account and I am out 89.9% and searched back to the last purchase on October, 2020 of 6 shares purchased at $612.50 for a total of $3,684.99. I just contacted 5i at 8:00 p.m. which I am writing now and I noticed that recently someone had asked a question about Trade Desk. It would have been helpful to find information out sooner but it seemed none of my research provided it. I guess I will phone my online account tomorrow and see what they haven't picked up on this.

Q: Hi,

Congrats on the web site update! Makes it easier to navigate for sure especially when looking up company data.
Of the recent IPO's listed above, do you have a preference for one or the other or obtain a starter position in all 3? Or a different one all together?
Also, can you pls confirm the considerable drop in revenue as seen on the Company data for ABCL....or is this an error? I normally only invest in a company whose YoY growth/revenue is trending upwards...so this is a bit of a caution flag if I were to invest in ABCL.

Cheers,

Q: Thank you for your reply regarding my question on what to watch for in terms of a return to paying dividends by these two companies. There does not appear be a "Cash Flow" or "Free Cash Flow" item among the Key Data status provided for these companies. I do see a Price to Cash Flow and Price to Free Cash Flow but I'm not sure how to interpret these data points in terms of continued paying a dividend or, in the case these companies, a return to paying dividends. If Cash Flow is a key to payment of dividends is there any chance Cash Flow can be added to the data to all those dividend paying companies listed?

Q: Are there any catalyst, or catalysts, in insight to lift the renewable energy stocks out of their 2021 humdrum? Names in this sector are all down YTD from BEPC's highest of 33% to RWN's lowest of 7% - with no exception. Would you recommend a name in this group that would have the likeliest chance for a quick rebound / turnaround? Thanks.

Q: Peter,

What research source or service would provide a full listing of Cdn pref shares including credit rating, type of preferred, dividend plus any redemption terms? Sedar is too cumbersome for this.

Thanks

Paul

Q: When does this preferred share reset? It has done extremely well since I bought it near $12 but the price can change as it nears the reset date.

BTW, it would be great if your watchlist info had the reset dates on the prefs.

Q: Seems like a large negative reaction of gold/silver/platinum prices to the Fed meeting. What's your opinion on outlook for precious metals given the Fed's comments?

Q: Hi, Iam having a hard time getting my head around how Bonds work. They are talking about a bear market for bonds these days, but when the price of bonds decrease then yield increases, so wouldn't the increase in yield offset the decrease of the bond price, Thanks?

Q: Hi
Please note PPL is not available in the short search. It was required to add :ca to bring it up.

Would you please expand on your comment earlier about Brookfield wining the bid for IPL? Was this just because the bid is out there or do you have an opinion.


In my position Brookfield deal is a big loss due to taxation(25% capital gains hit) as well as the benefit of holding PPL shares ( dividend, growth, Heartland participation, PPL Reputation) The share price of IPL is now tracking PPL (0.5 x $41.40 = $20.70) and is way above the Brookfield offer($19.50 Maybe? or some kind of shares?).

Brookfield offer is no longer financially better than PPL offer.

Is there something else in this?

Q: what is your outlook for AQN as a result of their proposal? It seems the investors do not like it at all. Is it time to move on to something less convoluted or am I overly concerned.

Q: Hello
Could I have your thoughts on PIF earnings, growth forward and any comments on the sale of carbon credits which I find interesting (money for nothing).
Appreciate it thanks

Q: Gold is supposed to do better in an inflationary environment, which we seem to be getting but it also does worse when rates are rising, like now. An enigma!! Who wins here? Thanks

Q: Why the dip? Seems like all the copper stocks took a blow this week. Is it a good time to buy? Do you see much upside in the next 6 months? Thanks

Q: My wife owns a company that started using Monday.com last year. I hear her rave about it all the time. I even heard her say she would pay double the fees charged it is so useful. I told her I would buy some stock if it ever went public and here we are... You said its expensive based on the current valuation. Can you please elaborate compared to the competition? The stock shot up and I don't want to get caught in the excitement and overpay. Thanks

Q: I have a small position in Teck in the mid $20s. I was looking to add to it as the price drops. What do you think is an attractive entry point? I’m leery for adding to commodity stocks when they’ve gone a long way already knowing that things can change quickly. Your thoughts?

Jason

Q: I somehow missed the memo for The Trade Desk stock split. Is this generally a positive? I know it doesn't actually change the value, but I'm wondering how investors look upon it. I am up over 100% and would like to think it's got further room to grow. Thoughts? Thanks!

Q: is this a buying opportunity?

Q: What's up with Suncor today? A good buying opportunity for the long run?

Thanks
Robert

Q: Not a question just a comment . I hope this use of small print font in your answers isn't part of the site rebuild. Some of us are old farts who hate squinting .....
