Investment Q&A

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

Q: Regarding Peters “Big Swim fundraiser” I like many others have done very well by 5i Research’s sage advice and would very much like to give back. Is it possible to donate shares “in kind” which would be very fitting and tax efficient means of donation.
Thanks 5i for all you have done.

Q: Hi, I’am down 5.90% on INE and was thinking of switching to ACI for better growth. I would lose $2000 on the trade, so would like your opinion for a 3+ year hold of ACI. Do you think It would be worth while or too close to call,and may just be spinning my wheels.
Thanks

Q: I am presently holding the first 3 preferred in a non registered account.
BMO is held in a registered account.
Can you kindly analyze the above preferred. Some have decreased in value in the last couple of months. Any idea why this is happening.
Is it time to sell?

Q: UBER had a good run lately. It is higher than the IPO price the first time. I am thinking of adding UBER into my investment portfolio for a mid-term investment. Do you think it is a good idea?
I am also thinking of COST, Google, TTD for a relatively stable RRSP portfolio for a very long term. Is it okay to have all three of them?
Thank you very much.

Q: Hello 5i Team
I am reviewing alternative high yield C$ investments for my RRSP for a small portion of my fixed income (< 5% of total portfolio ).
Looking at the publicly traded mortgage investment corporations (MIC) on the TSX - of the four listed, which would be your preferred choice and/or ranked in order.
Are there any other MIC listed on the TSX?
Could you also confirm that "dividends" for MICs are considered as "interest" if held in a non-taxable account.
Thanks in advance for the great service.

Q: Hi, I need to increase my Industrial Sector a fair bit. I started with full positions in CNR, FTT and SIS. CNR has doubled but FTT and SIS are both down, SIS quite a bit.

I started with a half position in WSP and it's up a bit.

What would you do here to increase your Industrials

Thanks
Robert

I need to increase my Technology Sector. I started with full positions in CSU, which has doubled, and KXS (which is flat), and a half position in Open Text.

What would you do hear to increase my sector holding by 50%?

Thanks,
