Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: The ability to 'buy now, pay later' appears to be a growing trend. I note that Affirm just purchased the Canadian company PayBright this week, and that Affirm has filed for an IPO. Are there any publicly listed Canadian or US companies that focus on that are high growth investment opportunities that you would recommend? Can I assume that any firms that do have this as their core product have a very small 'moat' - that if the banks sense an opportunity here, they will eventually dominate this space?

Q: Good morning 5i,
I am wondering if you think it is still reasonable to be selling covered calls and puts on tech stocks? Are the work from home stocks going to be declining because of the announcement of vacine? If you thing that is still a profitable avenue what stocks might you suggest these days for this strategy. Thanks for your help and all the best on your new venture.

Q: I noticed you mentioned CTG (Computer Task Group Inc.) in a post earlier Friday as a growth consideration with reasonable risk. (At least, that's how I interpreted your ranking.)

Can you explain your reasoning?

This is the first mention of CTG here in over a year. It is not covered by any analysts as far as I can tell, trading volumes strike me as low, and the long-term trend has not been great. On the other hand, Directors have been meaningful buyers recently and the company's fundamentals show some decent value characteristics.

As always, I appreciate hearing your perspective.

Marc.

Q: Please list and rank up to 10 US stocks which you see as having the best potential for capital returns over the next 3-5 years. Also, please provide a risk rating for each, using a scale of 1-10 with 1 being low risk.
Thank you for your highly valued opinion which has proven to be excellent for my investment over the past several years.

Q: Hello,

I am still sitting on cash... I wish I had more aggressively deployed prior to the election.
q1) I am wondering what would be your favourite names to add new money to or would you recommend waiting for a pull back from the recent highs?

q2) My thoughts was to pick up best in breed nat gas exposure in tourmaline or topaz. Which would you prefer for growth and why? Or is there another name your prefer?

Q: I already own shares in all of these companies but I'm thinking of selling my MSFT due to a decent % held in also owned ETFs but also that I don't think it has as much growth in the next 1-2 years relative to the others. Thus I'm thinking of selling my MFST and putting the $ equally into the other three.

Am I correct in thinking there is more potential growth in U, NVDA and GOOG than in MSFT?

Q: If I was to look at a January 2023 Leaps on TSLA what would you recommend or look at? Or should I look at other dates? I now own a Model X and Y and Tesla is worlds ahead on automation, robotaxi and solar. I believe Cathie Wood is right on this one. I own the stock, but wanted to option too. Any thoughts?

Q: Would like to pick your brain.
Can you give me 5 Canadian NON 5i portfolio stocks that you consider high growth and would probably put in your growth portfolios if you had the cash.

Like KXS, DSG, CSU 5 years ago or LSPD, WELL etc 2 years ago.

Thanks

Q: Can you please comment on PKT's recent announcement on 1) the purchase of 2 industrial sites for $36.25m 2) $10m private placement 3) Steve Scott's role in leading the newly focused company.
- with the private placement set at $.25, why is the stock trading at $.475 (.15 was the pre announcement price)?
- with the stock up over 200%, the market seems to like the deal. It seems like a major departure for a company that basically ran parking lots. Why such enthusiasm?
- do you know anything about Steve Scott (his bio seems very credible)?
- it appears as if Steve Scott is a principal owner of one of the properties being acquired - any red flags?
As a long term suffering shareholder I would love your comments and guidance. I originally purchased this with the understanding (hope?) that they would monetize some of their real estate assets but nothing happened for years. I am always a little leery of such moves in micro cap names and wonder if this is time to take my money and run or hang in there to enjoy the ride after seeing my money "idling in a parking lot" for way too long?

Many thanks
Scott
