Investment Q&A

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

Q: ETFs
Can you suggest your top 1-2-3 ETFs traded on the TSX for Canadian, USA and International markets that should perform well (after fees) over the next 1-2 years and have good trade volumes? Also, would this be a good time to purchase hedge or unhedged ETFs?

Q: I own both and at the share exchange price for TOG will have a loss. In order to realize that loss for tax purposes I assume I will need to sell it. Correct?
If I do sell but want to maintain a larger position in the new company, am I able to purchase more WCP right away without offending the superficial loss rules?

Q: This morning I saw an analyst downgrade on ADN. Considering the huge bull run in lumber price, i am a bit skeptical of this call. I understand that the dividend is currently not covered, since they shut down capacity to save on cost during Covid crash. But still, being a cyclical stock, this is part of the game. What would be your take?

Q: You continue to hold XHY and CPD in the income portfolio. My understanding when purchasing these was that they would perform well in a low interest rate environment. That has not been the case. I am about breakeven on them over the past 3 years with dividends included. What is the investment thesis for holding them now that interest rates are already so low. Is it time to move on?

Q: I am trying to like CEE however a dividend of that size for such a smaller gold producer concerns me. Where are they getting the money to pay such a large percentage and why are they doing it. Addtionally, the same company trades in London (CEY) and there it trades at approximately 130 British Pounds with a very large volume while here in Canada, it's a $2 stock and much smaller volume. Can you help me like this company....thanks

Q: Good afternoon, 3 questions...
Could you please give me your thoughts (after one public quarter) on Jfrog for a long term hold for growth?

There are lots of great new companies out there and only 1 public quarter for them. How would you rank the top ten “tech” stocks that had a IPO in 2020?

Your new USA fund forgive me if this is elsewhere but does this affect your answers or ability to answer any USA stock questions or does it not impact the current/past services? As I find your USA recommendations to be extremely valuable as a Canadian investor.

Thank you!

Q: Dear 5i,
For relatively safe income would you invest in either AD.UN or DIV today?
If yes, would you purchase in RRSP, TFSA or NonReg account?
Is 100% of the DIV income eligible for the dividend tax credit?

seasons greetings

Q: Good morning, I have a watch-list of vaccines, but it seemed like such a gamble in the past months, I didn't invest in any. Now that some are successful, I would like to have a position in at least one company. I've named a few above, but there are more. With the goal of growth in the next 1-2 years, which one or two "vaccine" stocks would you choose, and what percentage of the portfolio would you suggest as investment size. Thank-you.

Q: hello again

For my non canadian and non USA holdings, I have relied almost exclusively on VEA for the last two years with ok results. I'm wondering if the Asian markets ( China, Taiwan, Japan in particular) won't fare better in the coming years than will many other geographics. Do you think it wise to switch to a different ETF and if so, which would you suggest? thanks. Al
