Investment Q&A

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

Q: I don't think CPG's debt at 2.2 times cash flow is that big of an issue - VET and CNQ, for example, are at 1.7, so it seems to me to be manageable. They also hedge a fair amount of their production. I know management is in the penalty box, but it's trading at 2.1 times 2019 cash flow, which is ridiculous. This seems to be a "screaming" buying opportunity for patient investors. Thoughts?

Q: My question is 2 part.
I am a long term investor, ok with risk and fluctuations and no need for the cash anytime soon.
Ive read a few of your comments regarding some hesitation towards emerging markets. Would you sell out of VEE or do you see it doing something positive soon?
What do you think about buying into one of the trillion dollar companies now? I was hoping for a dip on Amazon, but that doesnt seem likely to happen. Do you have a favorite? Would you reccomend using the proceeds from VEE to do this or keeping VEE and using new money?

Do you know if there is a minimum holding period for this Sprott product? If so, how long is it and what is the penalty for early sale? I have contacted Sprott four times with no reply. Tx.

Q: Good afternoon 5i team
My wife and I are retirees and conservative investors. On the recent decline, I initiated a 1% position (in total) in the captioned gold stocks; it added diversification to our portfolio. Given that gold securities could suffer in a general market decline, I'm wondering if I should continue to add towards a 5% position now, or wait for further possible declines to increase our position. Thank you for your comments. Edward

Q: I wish to allocate up to 10% into this new sector - if I understand it correctly. Currently I own TELUS [about 3%/10% target], and at 1% - TD Entertainment & Communications [allowing that 51% will move to technology], SPOT, IQ, NVDA.
I wish to add eSports and streaming stocks to this sector - TTWO, ATVI, TCEHY?? and NVDA.
Pls advise how to build this sector with growth in mind.
Thank you for excellent advice.

Q: In a well balanced portfolio that is similar to the 5iR Balanced Portfolio, both BYD.un and PKI have increased in portfolio weighting from the initial investment positions. I recall 5iR saying to keep SIS less than 4.5%. For BYD.un and PKI, what would you suggest be the upper limit for the portfolio weighting of each of these two position?.......and thanks for these position recommendations.....Tom
