Investment Q&A

Q: Geez, that seemed like a harsh reaction by the market on the earnings release. Comments?

Q: Hi Team,
Given Nvdas recent euphoria, is it time to take profits here or do you see this rise warranted and likely to hold its gains? Looking at market cap it looks set to pass apple and possibly take top spot over Microsoft soon if the stock keeps up this pace of rising. How are valuations looking here compared to the other magnificent 7 and how much possible upside can we possibly gain from here given current valuations ?

Q: Would you recommend buying NVDA at today's prices or wait until after the split.
Thank you
Kathy

Q: I have 1/2 to 2/3 positions in these four names. They pulled back recently and I am considering adding to make them full positions. Would you proceed today or wait for better prices? Any price targets to recommend.

Q: Can you name two medium size and 2 small size Canadian copper mining companies trading on the TSX that in your opinion are susceptible to takeover in the next few years. Thanks

Q: Could you comment on Kraken Robotics earnings today? They look good but the company has been selling shares to finance growth and this could hold back the share price. Do insiders hold a solid number of shares?

Q: Good morning all,
Any thoughts on the Quarterly numbers published this morning? All numbers going up however EBITDA growth is not going up as fast as sales/service numbers. thx

Q: I have been eyeing these companies for some time now, regretting not pulling the trigger when first on my radar. I am now questioning the debt level of TVK; does this cause any concern on your part? As for Hammond Power, do you think there is any more room for gains, or has it pretty much hit the wall and is fairly valued?

Q: Hi, Could you please shed some light on this company, its valuation, debt, growth prospects and insider ownership. How would you rank it vis-a-vis its competitors ? Would you buy it for a long term hold in the Industrial Sector, after Tuesday's $9 pullback or wait ? Thank You

Q: Hi, Could you please provide more details on Quanta Services, as a niche operator in Power Infrastructure sector. Why do you consider it as one of your best picks in the sector ? How is its debt and current valuation ? After recent earnings of May 2, stock has gone up from $255 to $285, before pulling back briefly yesterday to $280. Would you be comfortable to start a position at current level or wait for a better entry point ?

Thank You

Q: Hi 5I. My largest holding is TD and I am going to reduce it by a third. Reasons are mainly concerns of future US growth because of the money-laundering stain. The potential fine is not as concerning as being shunned by investors resulting in stunted growth in the US. With the proceeds I was thinking of adding to my RY holding and taking a position in IFC. Or should I be looking at another big 6 such as NA or ...? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello Peter,

What do you think of Polaris? Also, can you please confirm its growth and fifth yield.?

Q: Everyone, as a 70 year old retired person what investment(s) should I not purchase. Clayton

Q: My question is really about CSU vs NVDA & how do you believe the accessibility of AI becoming more common for people & also for companies will effect CSU. Will the products and services CSU is selling become obsolete with AI ? Thanks!

Q: Hello, can you please share your top 5 candidates for potential multi bagger returns within the speculative part of my portfolio? I'm fine with taking on the associated risk and would likely hold within a TFSA as a smaller speculative portion of my portfolio.

Q: a sunlife life insurance policy was purchased for grandchildren as an investment for them on the advice of a financial planner- I am embarrassed to say so far $9000 in annual premiums has been paid, with 11 more remaining before the policy is paid in full. If I cancel this policy it will be a loss. However; the dollars which would have gone to sunlife could be used for a better investment. Your suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you- (P.S.- I submitted this ? a moment ago-but my screen went black so I don't no if the ? was sent the first time)

Q: Good Morning
Am I correct that these three TD Waterhouse Savings accounts TDB8150, TDB8155, and TDB8159 are EACH separately insured to $100,000 by Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation? Even if all three are in my Cash account? I am just wanting the safest place to park cash for awhile with decent interest.
Thanking you........ Paul K

Q: Hello 5i,

We are retired and in our mid 60's. We and have started pulling out 5% of our RRSP portfolio each year to pay bills and take vacations. One of our laddered GIC's came due on Monday. We can choose a 5-year at 4.59% but this is in an RRSP which we will pay 20% tax on upon taking funds out. Our equity to fixed income is 65 equity/35 fixed at this time.

Do you have any suggestions other than taking a 5-year GIC at 4.59%? We would be ~70/30 if we select equities.

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team

From review of various questions I surmise that that 5i mainly uses Bloomberg Terminal and/or Refinitive EIKON for research. However I realize these data packages due to monthly prices are beyond an individual investor.

Therefore I am trying to compare the various subscription versions of TIKR Terminal versus the subscription versions of KOYFIN which seem to be more reasonable. I have signed up for the "free" access versions of each to explore their features and I am quite satisfied with what I see. The choice is now which product to use and what subscription version to sign up for.

Does 5i use either TIKR Terminal or KOYFIN service and if so which subscription level do you use?

This may be best addressed as a blog article exploring both packages.

Thanks

Q: Hello, this is about your answer to a member about the valuation of CP versus CNR today. In your answer you stated that “CP is now cheaper than CNR on valuation (21X vs 24X).” Do you refer to the P/E ratio here? It appears there might be some discrepancy between the numbers you provided and what I found on TMX Money (P/E ratio 25.99 for CP vs 20.37 for CNR). Then, is CNR cheaper than CP? I am just trying to understand correctly. Thank you very much
