Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
Do you know when the deal is expected to close and how long would you expect these guys to wait to see if other offers may be forth coming.

Take over price of $34 US is about $46 canadian... SP currently sitting $43.75 canadian. Would you expect shares to trade up to the deal level.

If one wants to capture the full offer price, would one simply wait till the deal closes......
How would that work.

thx

Q: Happy Easter.
Are HMM & HPS related ? Do you favor 1 over the other or would you put new $ 50/50 ? How (what tickers) would you split your infrastucture allotment overall ?
In addition to base metals etc, we have STN, AOS, PAVE, NUE, BN. Thank you.

Q: Hi, I'm wondering if you could explain why you think CSU would spinoff LMN if it has so much potential? If I understand well, CSU has a very decentralized org structure which would allow for LMN to operate relatively independently if it remained part of the larger organization. Why would CSU management spin it off?

Q: With the interest of Advent in Nuvei , would you sell now a before it all shakes out? What do you think a reasonable buying price per share might be?

Q: Based on my TD Webroker Analyst ratings, ANGIE STOROZYNSKI and Analyst with Seaport Global has a 4.5 star rating as a result of her PERFORMANCE WIN-LOSS RATE
84 Out of 128 Successful Ratings(66%) and an Average Return Per Rating
+12.0%

Now I know generally we're not supposed to take analyst ratings that much into account with maybe the exception of "..are the analysts ratings trending up or down".

Is that the theory I should be be taking with analysts ratings? What's 5i philosopy on analysts ratings and do you take note of any prominent analysts in the investment field?

Those questions aside Neil Kalton from Wells Fargo with a similar rating but an average of half of Angie's came out with a rating for Nextera Energy NEE on the same day as her. His is for a target price of $85 and hers is for $44. It seems mind boggling how two analysts can have both and upside of 30% percent and a downside of 30% on the same stock on the same day being the most recent analyst opinions on the stock??? What is your price point for NEE today, Is it a buy, sell or hold. What price would you get in at because I'd like to average down on the position I have on it now. Thanks for the help to clear things up.

Hope everyone has a good Easter Weekend.

Cheers

Q: Hi Team,

I don't think a question has been asked on this company in the past. What are your opinions, seems relatively small. Do you prefer Sigma to this one?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i, the last question on Definity, back in Feb, asked about the possibility of DFY being acquired. Since then Swiss Re has taken an almost 10% position. What are your views on this stock going forward. Thx.

Q: I have been holding this stock for a while, just wont to know your thought on it, great job 5i

Q: In a registered account I would like to do some money recycling and choose 2 to depart from and recycle back into the others. HPS.A with 4% weighting and GSY at 6%. WELL is (well below) purchase price and although I still believe in the company the others might do better with a 5 years horizon but maybe not, your take. Could you identify the 2 you would let go and where would you recycle money into with a 1-5 preference, 1 beeing where you would add the most and 5 you would put the least. Having said all of that the total portfolio is much bigger and the position size of all of the above except for HPS and GSY are in the 1-2% range.

Thank you

Q: comment please on quis news.

Q: Retiring income investor. Do you have a preference between ZWH and HYLD? HYLD has a significantly higher yield but not sure if I'm missing something as far as risk/stability or fees. Also, would you have a concern holding both VFV for growth as well as HYLD for income?

Q: In your response to Peter this morning you stated that you "think investors can always hedge against the depreciation of US dollars" and you go on to give some examples of how that can be done. Would you consider owning hedged ETFs and CDRs to be another option to hedge against the depreciation of the US dollar? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
Could you compare and contrast PSI, TVK and NOA, with risk and total return over the next three years being the primary concerns. I'm considering them because I've done well with KEY since buying in 2020 and adding here and there since then, and think it may be time to sell a third of KEY and re-invest the proceeds. Registered account.
Thanks!
Peter
