Investment Q&A

Q: A comment on Scotialine's handling of NVDA split. I have both Scotia and BMO Investorline accounts and Investorline handled it flawlessly, Scotia did not. Also I recently opened RIFF accounts in each discount broker. Investorline RRIF is active(for 2 weeks now) and the process was smooth. I am still waiting for Scotia's to come online. I'm seriously considering scrapping my Scotia accounts and moving them to another discount broker but don't want everything at Investorline for security reasons. May try Questrade or Simplewealth, not sure yet.

Q: Hello 5i team, HPS.A is currently down 32% since I bought in. What are your outlooks on HPS in the future? I was planning on a long-term hold.

Q: My question is about CreditRiskMonitor (CMRZ) they are solvent from what I can gather but their main competitor Dun & Bradstreet Holdings (DNB) is not, what can you tell me about CMRZ besides it is tightly/majority held by the Flum family?

Q: Good evening,

I was looking to switch brokerages (from TD because of their $10 per trade fee) to a lower fee trading account. I would like a brokerage that offers low fees for trading stocks and options in Canada and the US, will allow me to keep both a US and CAN currency account, and has little or no maintenance fees (or has those fees waived for 5 digit balances or higher). I've looked into a couple of brokerages my favorite being TastyTrades however they aren't available in Canada, Wealthsimple however they charge a fee monthly to maintain a US account, CIBC however they seem to be equivalent to TD except slightly lower fees, Questtrade the price for stocks is good but for options is the equivalent to TD.

Any brokerage recommendations that fit most/all of my requirements?

Thanks,
Aidan

Q: This company is decreasing in price. Is there a good price to acquire for future growth? I know some buyers paid over $5 US. Why is it dropping, especially with lithium so important to EV Industry.

Thank you

Q: Just curious. Would you know why GSY's SP popped by over $6 today? Albeit the trade volume is just 50K not particularly large.

Thanks.

Q: Could you please explain what would/should have changed with the split, if you held NVDA CDRs rather than the regular shares.

Q: What do you think of airbnb and uber? i use both companies a lot and like them.

Can you give me your thoughts on each in terms of: valuation, growth prospects, how they stack up to peers, and how good the ROE is?

Would you say one is better than the other? I assume they are both pretty GDP sensitive w/how much travel and leisure spending impacts them

Q: Hi, Do you consider National Bank to be a good Canadian Bank to own, based on their flawless execution for a long period of time ? If so, after the recent sell off, what is a more prudent approach - To buy the * stock' now OR "Subscription receipts" to be listed, next week, which are likely to trade at a discount (what discount is reasonable ? ). considering cost to hold for 18 months period and a small probability of deal not going through ?

Would appreciate to elaborate pros and cons, Please !!

Thank You

Q: Your thoughts on investing in EWZ now? Time horizon 5+ years. I’m looking for both growth (registered accs) and income (non-registered accts).

Any idea why the yield is so high and if it’s a concern?

Is EWZS worth a look?

Q: My industrial portfolio currently has a light exposure to the industrial sector. I’d like to diversify by adding some industrial stocks in the US and Canada. Additionally, in the consumer sector, I already hold ATD, TOY, PBH, ULTA, and COST. To further enhance my consumer holdings, could you recommend several consumer stocks in the US and one or two in Canada? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Q: The ratio of BIPC to BIP.UN was hovering around 1.12 in the past.
Is there any reason as to why recently and specifically today the ratio jumped to 1.21.
That is why BIPC has been appreciating more than BIP.UN lately ?

Q: Hi guys,

With the pending deal of AQN to sell there stake to the PE company, do you think they will just let the company plod along with the high dividend OR would they take steps to improve its overall business to increase share price? In other words what will be the mandate of the takeover company?

Ok thanks
