Q: Hi 5i ,
I plan to increase my exposure to oil and agriculture. while doing my research, valuations and the RSIs have increased substantially. For example, stockta.com provides the following Alerts for LUN and TECK.B -"Stochastic Overbought Reversal' which I assume means that a reversal can happen any day. I assume that some holders are likely to take some profit soon. Most of what I have read says that you should wait for the RSI to come down but I also understand that the RSI can remain elevated for some time. Should I wait? or could these sectors be on a tear?
Please advise and thank you for your help

Q: Which of these ETFs would you prefer for financial exposure? The fixed income component of FIE contains 20% CPD, which has had a nice run and is now approaching a 52 week high, 10% XCB (corporate bonds). The remaining 70% is banks and lifecos. ZWB, on the other hand, is 100% banks, with covered call premiums.

Q: Hello Peter,
In general, what does one do if a stock that was doing very well all of a sudden goes in a downward spiral without any news? I am using Nuvei as an example, but the question applies to other stocks that may experience similar investor sentiment.. Also, what is the best site to get earnings release dates as wells as latest news releases? Thanks very much

Q: After TH ore-announced, they immediately announced a bought deal at a discount to market. It doesn’t appear that they are imminent need of cash, so I’m curious why they wouldn’t wait for a higher price if they felt their shares were under valued. I’d be curious your thoughts on this. Is it ever necessary to do a deal like this to increase market awareness? Thanks.

Q: Hi,

I own Parex and I saw that earlier this week they announced share repurchases of another 10% of their float in addition to the 10% purchased last year.

What do you think of share repurchases instead of instituting a dividend? Which do you prefer? Are share repurchases a good use of capital?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi, my respected 5i team
Could you please recommend some solid names(US and Canadian markets) focusing on post-Covid theme play? I would like to take advantage of the price decline due to the pandemic lock down, some solid names that will be the survivors.

Thanks in advance!

Q: Hi, 5i team
What are your opinions about emerging market and Europe? Are they attractive based on current value? Could you recommend some ETFs both in Canadian & US dollars?
Do you recommend to buy now to hold about 1 or 2 years?

Thanks a lot!

Q: I can't say I expected the green industrial stocks to do so well so quickly. I mean, I'm happy and all but it's all moved so fast. And I must say that with the urgency I feel we need to deal with climate change I'm glad that the market seems to agree with me (finally - and perhaps only temporarily?!).

Can you provide a short list of Canadian and US companies that would fit into the general green industrial/energy space? I own most of the above, but am looking for something I may have missed. I don't own any US companies in the space.

Thanks

Q: With regard to the question about not being able to log in to TD WebBroker, here are two things to try. The first has worked for me. The second is worth trying.
Log in to EasyWeb, then switch over to WebBroker by clicking on an investment account. Log in on your phone using the mobile app. It may be that the inability to log in to WebBroker is due to a DDOS attack on the WebBroker log in, not that the entire system is down, and the banking and mobile log ins are not being hit. As a last resort you could phone them, but given the response time these days, that may be equally frustrating.

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I'm overweight tech and underweight the US and international by a lot.

I hold XAW at roughly 20% in my RRSP.
Currently have 13k in cash and will have another 15k once PEO shares get tendered in a LIRA account.

Can you recommend an ETF or two that can address both my problems. One that has zero to very minimal tech exposure, no canadian exposure. Preferably trading on the TSX.

Thanks,

Rino
