Investment Q&A

Q: Investors like me are getting peppered with multiple articles on the web with analysts' recommendations.

I could name the sites but there are 5 or 6 that obviously pay to be at the top of my age and investor profile. Similar to many 5i investors, I am sure.

How can one check if these articles are paid promotions by the listed companies or in fact objective analysis?

Thank you.

Q: Could you provide two etfs (one for us market and one for Canadian market) in each sector. Thanks

Q: Wondering at what might be a good point to average up? PRL and VHI in my TFSA up about 40%, PRL in my margin account up 100%. Trying to balance FOMO with being too greedy.

Q: Hi 5i
You mention that you lost confidence in smci. Does that mean it's in the penalty box forever or put another way, what would it take for you to consider ever investing in it again?
I'm interested in your thought process as a fund manager.
Is it just a matter of time passing with no cockroach sightings or would management have to change etc..
I no longer hold it but may reconsider one day.
Thanks

Q: Hello Team,

I have been with the above stocks and seen their highs in my portfolio. The punishment for not selling however is to see them crash and burn. Some I still have some money left in and some I have lost 98% of the original investment (APPS).

So, should I just sell them all or is there an argument that one (thinking MGNI) may be worth keeping.

Thanks for all the help! :)

Q: Hi there,

I have a position here, they announced a bond issue at 9.5%. I’m not sure how this sets up growth and also 9.5 seems high?
Thankyou

Q: How much money does the average person need to save to have a decent retirement?

Q: Hello team,
What is your view on a AtkinsRealis and Descartes Group? Are they both buys? Recently AtkinReaslis released very good results so was thinking of adding to my position. Thanks very much

Q: Good day,

I am setting up TFSA and FHSA accounts for an 18-year-old with a 15-25 year investment horizon. The goal is to contribute the maximum annual limit each year, which is $7,000 for the TFSA and $8,000 for the FHSA in 2024, and continuing at those levels in subsequent years. From an aggressive growth perspective, without restricting the investment options to Canadian markets, what would you recommend? Also, do you recommend making an lumpsum investment or spread the purchases over time? If so, how do you suggest I spread the purchases.

Thank you

Q: Are there any non-hedged ETFs that you would recommend with a focus on mid-sized US companies? Preferably with a focus on safe to moderate risk companies.

Q: Would you consider investing in Bluesky - BTC

Q: What do you think of Danaher's current valuation, do you think this a good entry point to start a new long-term position?

Given their long-term success, I'm thinking the company should be capable of navigating any potential "political" headwinds with the incoming US administration?

Q: I have some cash that I would like to put to work and I have small positions that I would like to reduce. My main objective is growth with a bias towards low beta equities at this time in my work life. I am about 4 years away from my planned retirement.

These are most of my held equities along with weightings. NVDA 13.3% CSU 6.4% BN 6.4% SAN 5.4% SHOP 4.8% CRWD 4.3% TOI 3.8% VRT 3.4% ENB 3.2% BIP-UN 2.6% BEP-UN 2.3%. The following are 1-2% positions 13.5% as group; COST TD ATZ BNS AMZN TTD PANW PRL BRK.B. The rest are< 1%/each approx 10% as group BCE ASML HPS-A TMDX ISRG TMO GSY ASPN DELL SNOW NXT.

I plan on continuing to hold most of these positions including the smaller positions (<2% positions). I would like to reduce the number of these smaller holdings.
Could you please rank these smaller positions with the keepers at one end of the spectrum to goers at the the opposite end of the spectrum.

Thanks for this.

Q: Hi there, your thoughts on CTS post results on Nov 12?

Looks like the stock has had a nice run back up to 3.60 from 2.90, is it possible that 3.00 is now established as the bottom?

Anything you found interesting from the results or conf. call that would have the markets push the stock back up from 2.90?

Is it still considered cheap based on 3Q results and 4Q/full year guidance?

Can you please provide adjusted rating upgrades/downgrades by analysts after 3Q results?

Thanks!

Q: CAE has been another good news story for me this week. Finally they put together a decent quarter, at least in my eyes, what do you think about their qurarter? I know one quarter does not make a trend but I would hate to get out of something after a good gain. Now it is nearly at $31. Is this fair value for CAE for the near to mid term. At this price there should be no tax loss selling on CAE this year, right? My discipline tells me to sell but does your expert opinion shout, "gain for the long haul"?
