Q: Could you please clarify how CDIC insurance works. If I invest at CIBC Investor’s Edge and in my non-registered account, I have 1) $100,000 in cash, 2) $100,000 in an RBC HISA, and 3) $100,000 in a third party GIC (say Versabank), are each insured for $100,000 as they are with different institutions? Or are they insured collectively for $100,000, meaning $200,000 is not insured, since they are all held at CIBC Investor’s Edge? Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
How big of a deal is it that nvei is partnering with Microsoft for payments? Partnering with a mega cap like Microsoft seems almost game changing for a small cap name like nvei. This being said it is perplexing that nvei keeps scoring global deals with big names and yet its numbers don’t reflect the profitability one would almost expect . Your take on the name going forward would be much appreciated, and the potential that now exists being partnered with Microsoft .
Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Long time holder of NTR and have whittled my materials to just this one with a 1% weighting . Selling now at this price seems like a bad idea but with the premise “it doesn’t care what you paid for it “ for a long term hold , do you favour it , SJ or TECK.B and why ?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Good morning 5i
I am getting older and not sure i want to endure too many more stock market roller coaster rides. I am therefore thinking of moving into a higher bond allocation. You have mentioned yourself that even something like tlt could be a roller coaster. I am not adverse to getting some but I would like to know from you, what bond etfs you would recommend if one wanted , for instance, a 40/60 split between bonds and stocks. I am open to Canadian, too, but my intention is to keep fixed income in our rif, therefore, i would concentrate more on us bond etfs
Thanks as always

Q: 2 months ago you answered a question about COR and MCK in which you were positive. Since then both stocks have continued to do well. Are you still positive here for a long term buy and do you now have a preference. COR pays a better dividend.
Thanks for you great advice.

Q: Today Brian asked about the dividend rate for this pref. share.
You have indicated that the rate is .307
I believe the correct rate is 6.525%.
Can you please explain.
Thanks

Q: Regarding Brian’s question:
I can’t find a press release, but I think this issue was in fact scheduled to reset on Dec 1 , 2023
Pembina website shows a dividend rate of 6.525%, presumably based on par at $25. This would run until Dec 1, 2028.
Adds up to about $1.63 per annum or $.4078 quarterly.
Stock closed at $20 so if bought at that price would effectively yield about 8.16%.
I apologize if my math or info is incorrect, but this is worth rechecking I think.

Q: Ref Brian question on Friday, Dec 1 :
``The annual dividend rate for the Series 1 Shares for the five-year period from and including December 1, 2023, to, but excluding, December 1, 2028, will be 6.525 percent, being equal to the five-year Government of Canada bond yield of 4.055 percent determined as of today plus 2.47 percent, in accordance with the terms of the Series 1 Shares.`` .
According to me, the dividend should now be 0.4075 …

Q: I have not been in oil for years but am reviewing the matter for diversification. But here we are with 2 wars going on , OPEC+ cutting prices , Russia selling oil at discount , the world awash with oil and excess production, governments pushing green. Economists ( gotta love those guys ) were talking peak oil and $200.00 pbl. not that many years ago. So why should I want to buy a commodity with such lousy metrics ?
If I do take the plunge I’m looking at these 3 large caps. IMO has long been a well run company and I like to align myself with the American masters who keep on doing buybacks. CNQ is also shareholder friendly and well run. SU has a 100 years of reserves, an attractive retail operation but continual operational issues.
What is your view on oil long term and your favourite of these three ? Thanks. Derek

Q: Hello 5i,
I generally use the Q/A database to investigate your research on specific stocks. For the first time, there is a Canadian company with no submitted public questions. (Abcourt Mines). A log established but small GOLD producer. I have owned the company in the past and am now considering establishing a very small position. Mostly because GOLD appears to be breaking out. I am thinking a short term (1 -3 years). Can you comment on the company, it's fundamentals and any other comment sthat you think are relevant. Thank you.
