Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5I

I have held this stock in the past. It has come well off its highs and pays a good dividend as result. Understanding that any recovery will mute the dividend, is this stock a good consideration for the healthcare sector?

Thank you

Peter

Q: Wondering is this dividend safe for the long run?
Thanks.

Q: Thanks for the insights about US dividend stocks. With your analysis, as some pure dividends and others "balanced" between dividends and buyback of stocks and others investing for "growing", well it was very insightful for me....and now for me, another way for me to analyze such dividend paying stocks....Good on you!!!......Tom

Q: Hi team. ENB.PF.U pays dividends in US$ but it is a Canadian company, therefore would the dividends on this US$ preferred be eligible for the dividend tax credit in Canada?

Q: Can we expect any improvement in the prospects of the company with with the envisaged changes.

Thanks

Thomas

Q: Good day,

What are your outlooks for OLED and ZWP? I bought OLED some time ago and figured their patent library should have caused some movement with everybody going OLED these days... And with ZWP, do you see a recovery coming? Or is it still a sit and wait?

I've been watching DE on and off for some time, and they seem to continue to act on what drew me to them in the first place. Are they a buy right now? Anything else you would suggest in its place? (I have ATS after a previous question)

BIP seems pretty beat up, are they a buy for you now? Or would you still suggest BN? In a registered account, is BIP better than BIPC? Would you move from BIP to BIPC as they come closer to par?

Thanks!

Q: I've tried to work this out and have been confusing my self. This question is on a buying strategy. Supposes you want buy an ETF in something relatively safe like banks or utilities for the income. So every 3 months you buy a $1000 worth of shares only if the share price is down. Where my math is failing me is if over the long term (say 10 yrs) would my average purchase price be falling or will it only fall if I buy the shares NOT if they Down but rather is they Down below the lowest price I have paid in the past? ie abandon every 3 months in favour of what ever time it takes for the price per share to be lower than your last purchase.

Q: What is your analysis of this company and it's long term perspective?

Thank you very much

Q: My question is about Banks. Now that the Bank of Canada has paused interest rate but do you think that it will not change the profitability of banks for at least on or two quarters (Net Interest Margins)? Now banks are paying 4.5% plus on GICs so their borrowing cost is not cheap. Your view on banks earnings what will be in this quarter (Net Interest Margin)?

Q: Tax loss season is an opportunity to shop for bargains. Can you name 2 or 3 that are excessively beaten down, therefore likely to bounce and rise further on fundamentals?

Q: Hi,

After any stock breaks to all time highs, such as Lumine and Boyd lately, I know this is a sign of strength of the stock and I know you like when this happens. If I wanted to add to a current position or initiate a new one, what factors do you look at in order to buy?

For example, the companies may have had good earnings lately or analysts may have upgraded their price targets and initiated coverage. I know there are a lot of different unknown factors at work in the market, but what would cause investors to pay up and drive a stock up to new highs with no current news? Do you look at volume on the breakout or mainly just long term fundamentals? Do you look for the stock to hold that new level before buying? I'm not a trader, but more longer term focused investor now. I'm always of the belief that there are smarter investors out there that have more information than others, which causes stocks to be mispriced. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: I currently hold XHC to give me some global health care exposure. It is ~ a whole position for me and is currently down 4.5%. My other Healthcare stocks are Well and Abbvie.
Do you have some other healthcare names that are solid but growing. With or without dividend.

Outside of Canada to get USA or World exposure.

Or would you stick with XHC?

Thanks.

Q: Both of these companies are trending in the right direction. I can only afford to buy one from this sector. Which one would you recommend for greater growth in the next 3-5 years. Thnks

Q: Can I please get your opinion on NFE and CTOS?
Thanks

Q: When you sell one of your 30 day covered call options, do you ever buy back the option yourself? I know it would depend upon the potential of the stock? But, say it was a stick that you might have confidence in, Nvidia, for instance?

Q: CROX is having a nice bounce back from its lows. Should I stick with it or switch to BKNG?
Thanks,
Neil

Q: Hello 5i team,
CPD has jumped up a bit in the past few weeks. Just curious about what is pushing the preferred ETF up? Is it the assumption that rate increases have halted(slowed down)?

Q: When selling a basic covered call out of the money to generate some cash in a portfolio how long would you sell the contract into: 30 days 40days 60? Long leap 6 month+? In your experience what is common? Or best idea? Thanks
