Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello 5i, I am up over 70% on this company. So I am wondering if it is time to consider selling or should I accumulate more. It's still under 5% of my portfolio. Do you see any reason to sell? What is your assessment of the company. They seem to be doing all the right things for some growth. Do you see anything in the near term that could cause some downward pressure? Thanks for your service..

Q: I am reaching for YIELD and at 9% the yield on QYLD is very appealing.
If the tech sector falls out of favour and drops like FaceBook did this week, what are the implications for the dividend? Would the share price drop too?
As a long term "HOLD" I can live with a lower share price because it would most likely recover over time.
But what about the dividend? Can I count on it holding at current levels or possibly even increasing?

Thanks.

Q: I was looking to replace AAR.UN with an industrial reit. I found WIR.U which has P/E of 9.12 and DIR.UN has P/E of 26.19. Both are not 100% industrial reit. I will appreciate if you could give me some info on how come DIR.UN is having such high P/E? Or you can suggest some reit which has more growth rather then yield.

Q: Would like clarity on what 5i defines as a position. My understanding is that if I buy a stock/ETF etc that I have a position. That is how I find it defined in literature. In reading your Q&A I see references to 1/2 a position, 3/4 of a position. Is this a dollar value or % of a portfolio?

Q: Hello,
I'm wondering if you have any update on Snipp Interactive? It is a very small cap but appears to be growing. No analysts, but Thompson Reuters seems to like it more recently.-
"The score for Snipp Interactive Inc reached its 3-year high of 7 this week.
- The recent change in the Average Score was primarily due to an improvement in the Price Momentum and Risk component scores".

I'd appreciate your fine insights.
Thanks,
Brian

Q: MAXR has been beaten up recently and justifiably so due to its expanding debt and poor earnings forecast. Lately they have been issuing a few press releases detailing new contracts, some from repeat customers. The contracts don't seem large enough to have a material impact on the company but they are good news none-the-less. The stock appeared to bounce on Friday up 3%. I am thinking of averaging down to my very long held position. The weighting would increase from 1.7% to 2% so I wouldn't be risking too much. Any comments or concerns?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: My question is about ETF weighting. For a stock I don't like to exceed 5% but is it okay to go higher for an ETF ? I am considering increasing my weight in QYLD from 4% to 6 % and ZWE from 3% to 6% . What would 5I consider a maximum weighting for these two ETF's or ETF's in general ?
