Investment Q&A

Q: Can you please rate these for reliability and sustainability.
LBS, SBC,GDV,PWI and LCS.
Thank You in advance.

Q: I have done well with boeing in a short period and while double checking it one of the rating services called it a five . In the same report it called textron a ten , they are both US so not your mandate but if you have any opinion on possibly switching from ba to txt I would appreciate it.

Q: Is it a good time to invest in Uranium? If yes, please recommend C$ and/or US$ etfs or stock(s) to do this.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I know international markets aren't your wheelhouse per se but any insight you have is appreciated. I have been reading a lot about Mexico's surprising growth over the last few years and better-than-thought projected growth for 2024. It sounds like even Scotiabank is planning on redirecting investment from other underperforming Latin American countries to Mexico in it's "Mexico First" strategic plans.
With this in mind, do you know of any Mexican companies that may benefit from this growth with compelling fundamentals that are listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ? Or even American companies that get most of thier revenue from Mexico?
I already own the ishares Mexico ETF but was interested in buying some individuals stocks.

Thank you all for your always sage advice and wishing you all an excellent and relaxing holiday season!

Q: I am reading about the benefits of adding commodities to a portfolio (PIMCO /Ibbotson 2006 study). Low correlation with other assets, positive correlation to inflation, optimal allocation from 9 to 29%.

Any overarching comments on the pros and cons of commodities in a portfolio?

Can you recommend how a regular DYI investor might try to add exposure to this area?… an ETF? Any specific securities you recommend taking a closer look at? I don’t want to be buying pork belly contracts!

Lastly, suggestion on ranges of how much commodities should represent in a portfolio? A conservative investor would be X% while an an aggressive investor would be Y%.

Q: Morningstar has a stock rating service that provides a "fair Value" of a stock. I am wondering if you are familiar with it and what you think of it. Are you aware of any other services that provide fair values? Thankyou. Cheers

Ps: I may have asked this before. If so, please ignore this qwestion.

Q: Hi again, just an addendum to my earlier question. This morning I read the Directors' letter to shareholders and decided I was not comfortable holding. Got out at $45.50, happy to avoid a future mess and move on.

Q: If you were adding to one of these KXS or DSG which would you chose and why?
Thank you for your insights and help

Q: Individual portfolio considerations aside , which would be your choice between CCL.B and DOL for a long- term / permanent holding ?
Thanks.

Q: Hello, I am looking to enter a position into one of these two companies, I am leaning towards DOL. They have both been a consistent compounder since I started watching them over the years. Do you have a preference ? This would be a hold in my TFSA, (if that makes a difference)
Thanks.

Q: Can please comment on the weakness of CCO over the last 2 days.

Thank you

Q: I saw this comment today.

We expect that its royalty interest will be upheld in international arbitration. Although not imminent, this royalty which accounts for 22 per cent of its net asset value represents excellent upside optionality once Franco Nevada and operator First Quantum Minerals has its day in court.

What are your thoughts on:
1) Has the market basically written off this royalty stream in FNV's stock price at this point?
2) Great buy at this point given bonus upside down the road when things hopefully resolve and they recover something.
3) Would you sell WPM to buy FNV given this? Though WPM has higher potential returns given its silver exposure i think.

Q: Giving the need for improved and expanded electricity grid, are these still your main choices? Anyone else?

Regards
JR

Q: Started with half positions, down roughly the same on both. Considering consolidating into one nvei position, thoughts?

Q: Peter,
On CSU pullback what price point would you be looking at to step in?
Last pullback in 2022 lasted almost 6 months. Of course I know history never repeats itself exactly but I am looking for a range at which the stock would be in your view a compelling entry point?

Q: What is your opinion on Revvity, including their forward PE. Is there any other company in this sector that you prefer. Thanks for your advice.

Q: I currently hold SPDR S&P 600 S/C VAL ETF (SLYV). It is currently 2.78% of my portfolio. What is the prospect of SLYV in comparison to IJR, IJT and IWM in 2024. Would you recommend to switch to any other small cap ETF from SLYV?

Q: good afternoon,

Can I have your view on this company. Looked at a few reports on it and it doesn't look to compelling. Something else to look at ?

Thanks,

Happy Holidays to the Crew,

Q: Could you give me 5 Growth Stocks for 5 years in Canada , USA and World that you would recommend today . RAK
