Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i, back in Feb 22 Tom asked a question re Global ETF's. Your answer referred to a Lo Vol ETF with symbol LVHI.
I have been unable to find this ETF, is there any chance that this might have been a "typo" ?
Could you give me the full ETF Name.
Thanks
Terry

Q: Can you provide a current outlook on these two from a valuation perspective

Q: I know that you still like KXS, and you also like XIT. I manage my son’s TFSA, and he’s made a tidy profit in KXS, since it’s been held for quite a while. However, going forward, and since more recent charts indicate XIT's outperforformance, what would be your assessment of switching from KXS to XIT?

He doesn’t have enough room to buy CSU or SHOP, and I see that they’re the first two holdings in XIT, and would you agree that these two names are ‘better’ than KXS? As well, XIT holds a small amount of KXS.

Finally, he can buy and sell XIT with zero commission.

Your pertinent advice is, as always, important in our decision making.

Q: Good Morning, Can I please get your opinion on the recent earnings of Viemed and Profound Medical? Are they worth holding for several more quarters, or is it perhaps time to move on. I know you don't have many ideas for Canadian healthcare stocks, other than WELL (which I own), but if you wanted to switch to another CDN or US healthcare stock, what might you consider? Thanks. Brad

Q: Hi - can you please give your perspective on why the shares have performed so poorly despite the company having such "sticky" tenants? I would have thought that the business would have been so predictable (due to the type of tenant) and therefore easy to "manage" into a reliable long term moderate growth company....but it hasn't. Going forward...do you think the sticky tenants offer a positive way forward for the company?

Q: Just adding on to the last question on NBLY. Since the arrangement has been approved, would it not be a smart play to purchase shares at around the buyout price in order to have access to the CVR rights? It looks like you would get your investment returned within a week when the deal closes and you could await the result of the CVR at no cost.

Q: What is the reason for the big move in Lundin today (Wednesday). Up over 9% and I can’t find any news? Also do you know when it will go ex-dividend. Last dividend I see declared was $.09 on Nov 30

Q: Hi There,

When is ECN’s next quarterly earnings report and what is expected? How long would you continue to HOLD hoping for improvements?

Ok thanks!

Q: Do you consider Sirius buyable today?

Thanks

Q: Could you suggest 6 or 7 Canadian equities (irrespective of sector) that would be suitable as GIC/Bond proxies? Secure dividend and slighlty positive growth potential?
Thank you for all you do.

Q: What do you think is the primary reason why EIF is having such trouble getting any kind of traction? Their recent earnings were solid and well received by investment firms, many of whom raised their targets (eg. TD, RBC, Canaccord, Raymond James, ATB). And yet within a couple of days, the stock price has reversed itself and is now back down below $48.00.

Thanks as always.

Q: Where to park $ for 1 to 2 years looking for liquidity interest and safety. Recommendation? Thanx

Q: your favs with dividend growth compounders strong free cash flow growth every year?is bep.un a no brainer for valuation and growth and does dir.un have potential why do you like them thanks take me down on the questions for my added queries

Q: If someone had to purchase 1 etf in their portfolio, would you say that this is the best one even though it is pricey. Thank you

Q: Would you favor IYH over VHT considering the 10 year share price has increased about the same. But IYH has a 5.4% dividend.
Or does VHT have better future growth?

Thanks.

Q: With the up coming US election in November and the pressure on the fed to cut rates. What are your thoughts on where the TLT will be in the latter part of this year and would that likely be the high for the TLT for the next 12 months?

Thanks.

Q: Could i please have your current thoughts on GCT for a long-term investment, and the expectations for its earnings on March 15. If its earnings do not meet market expectations and the stock sells off, would you see the sell-off as an opportunity to add to one's position. Thank you.

Q: Good Day,

I picked up CELH and CROX based on the answer to my last question, and added in POWL to boot. Based on my portfolio in my previous question, was POWL something you would consider redundant in my account, or would you be fine with that type of addition in your portfolio.

I have been holding SNPS and CDNS for a minute now, and it just seems to bounce back and forth between +5% and -5%. Are these mostly growers on news and earnings? What are their respective Expected growth rates over the next 1 and 2 years?

This brings me to almost "fully deployed". I have noticed in the last couple weeks that the volatility in the market seems to have increased, and the average of that volatility seems to be sort of flat over this time. I have seen some videos and articles calling for the "AI Bubble" to burst, etc. Do you think there will be a cooling in that space coming? and if that occurs will the market follow it? I've seen many replies where you state that NVDA has a clear 18 month runway for growth, and thus I imagine the companies that support it as well, does that still hold true in your view? If said cooling could be coming, would it be worth the fees to say, shrink/cut some positions? Or is that too much like timing the market and thus better to stay in?

Thanks for everything,

Q: Hi, Your comments on awful results last Friday? In the past, analysts seem to like the stock. Looks very cheap. Is it worth owning these stocks so thinly traded (not a single trade on Friday) ? Thanks a lot.

Q: Hi Peter,

What are Earnings (total $ amount and $/share estimates) and Revenue $ amount for Well in Q4.

Thank you
