Investment Q&A

Q: When on the calendar do you feel tax loss selling generally bottoms out and would you look to be buying something like Cargojet? Do you have a few other candidates?

Q: Hi 5i,
FLEE is a Europe ETF which includes UK and FLEU is a Eurozone ETF excluding UK.
I am interested in investing 5 to 10% of my TFSA in one of these ETF's to hold for the long term. In your opinion which one might offer the best total return and why?
If I also hold approx. 20% in S&500 do you think I need to buy any of these?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Since going public in March of this year SolarBank Corporation's stock price has risen dramatically. Do you think the fundamentals support this or has it perhaps gone too far too quickly. In other words is it best to wait for it to settle down if considering buying. Also do you have any info on insider ownership/trading. Thanks.

Q: Do you think any other suitors will come? If not, should you sell at offer price?

Q: Of the above health care stocks, could you rank from best to worst and indicate a good entry level for the top two. If you happen to have another better suggestion please rate accordingly.

Many thanks

Q: I currently own each of these oil & gas industry stocks. Are they well positioned for any potential consolidation/takeover activity that is rumored to occur as a followup from the XOM Pioneer story? Which firms are best positioned for takeover/merger/consolidation?

Q: What do you think about taking a new position in Russell 2000 at this time? Dan Niles was on CNBC talking about how the index may outperform some of the big tech names. I am also considering a position in SPY and/or the QQQ. I tend to buy and sell stocks too quickly and my thought was to buy an index fund with a view to holding longer term so that I don't have to worry about individual names. Thank you,

Q: I doubt that a significant percentage of us will go on weight loss drugs and stop eating at McDonalds. More likely more of us will dine there to save some cost as things tighten. The stock is down and pays a nice dividend. Is it a buy in your opinion at this level for a 3 year hold or do you recommend averaging in gradually? Or would you avoid it altogether for some reason? Thank you.

Q: RDNT Is this company profitable? Do you see it as a buy, hold, or sell.

Q: Can you please comment on the prospects for this company ?

Q: Hi will any of your representatives be attending Exchange Income Days today or tomorrow?

Q: Hi Team,
I am down 20% with BCE and 19% with ENB. Would this be a good time to crystallise my capital loss?
Do you see a short term rebound?
If I sell, would you be re-entering these two after the 30 days or move to something else?
Thanks

Q: hello 5i:
we're interested in starting a small position in HBND.
First, can you clarify something.
You said, in reply to a previous question: "But if rates stagnate or decline, and for an investor seeking income, the yield on this ETF may come under pressure, but its unit price can see capital appreciation. "
Are you saying here, that if (for example), the 10 year Treasury were to fall from 4.8ish to 2.4ish, that HBND would then yield around 5%? Along with a capital gain?

Second: would the decrease in HBNDs yield matter that much, as Treasuries and GICs, etc, would have a similar decrease in rates (a 1 year GIC paying around 2.5% vs a current rate of around 5%?

Third: isn't a stagnant yield almost ideal for a covered call bond, as nothing is changing, other than the seller continuing to collect the premiums from the sale of the covered calls?
thanks

Q: I am thinking of entering into a position in Boyd. Thoughts on this as an entry point
and how does it compare with the prospects of the industry as a whole?

Q: Dear 5i
I can't decide on which to buy for a growth stock ,BN or LMN or whether both could be owned . Assume an otherwise balanced portfolio . Would now be the time to buy ?
Thanks

Q: Someone told me rumors about Microsoft planning to announce they are making semiconductor chips soon, and would cause the price of Nvda to drop. How reliable are those rumors and should I act on them? How do you see Nvda compared to google or Microsoft or apple, in terms of risk and long term potential?

Q: If we had $75K in an unregistered account, would it be accurate to say that purchasing an ETF like HSAV would be better than putting this money in a GIC or high interest savings account, due to the fact that there are no distributions and thus, only 50% of any income are taxable?

In other words, if I am deciding between a 6% GIC, or HSAV (which I believe has a similar yield), I would pick HSAV correct?

Are there similar ETFs like HSAV that have similar characteristics (ie do not pay out dividends) that you would prefer over HSAV?

Q: Hi folks,
I am looking at topping up to a full position in either Telus, BCE or ENB. This will be in my TFSA account. Can you recommend one that not only will have some growth when interest rates peak but the dividend will remain intact as well.
Thanks

Q: Everyone, I have held LSPD since the summer of 2019 and I bought and sold throughout the last 24 months. My remaining amount is less than 2% so not a significant amount of $. They have $700 million plus in cash; they call EBITDA positive this year; they reduced the head count which lowers expenses; interest rates will be increased once or twice then a wait period and then a slow decline. All positives for the stock price. And the Quebec Pension still owns a large block of shares - they haven’t given up! The stock price seems to have held at this price range, so there is no real material downside risk. SQ and Toast are in the same stock price position, an industry decline not a stock specific decline. In a better market this stock will quickly do a triple from here.. So … buy and wait … or… move on? Clayton
