Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i's!

In your opinion, what strong Cdn or US companies look like excellent entry points or adds after yesterdays market drop and todays losses?

Thanks as always.

Q: Read the Q&As almost daily for several years now.
Senior, retired and living on government pensions.
My question is about a growth-oriented TFSA cash allocation of about 10k or less than .75% of total equity portfolio. Will not need the funds for another 34 months.
Understand you cannot indicate position size or provide personal advice.
Current TFSA holdings in order of largest %age gain to biggest losers in TFSA is: TFII, TRI, DIR.un, DSG, KXS, LMN, TOI, TVK, EQB, DOL, DOO, PMZ.un, TIXT, REAL, S, HOT.un, EGLX. Top 10 are in excess of 1.50% of position size. Bottom six are headed for exit ramp in due course.
Across entire non-reg and TFSA portfolio am underweight Cons Cycl, COMMS, Industrials, Healthcare and international multi-sector.
Pondering adding to existing or a new TFSA position to add to the 40-plus I already have. So how would YOU allocate this 10K today?

Q: Hello, in an answer to a question back on March 8th of this year you indicated some attractive entry prices for the Canadian CDR's of the Magnificent 7. What would be your current attractive entry prices given the changes over the past few months and the recent reporting season?

Q: Please comment on results- does this company have the potential to recover and what would be a good entry point?

Q: Is it time to buy Intel?

Q: Can you please comment this stock and its report? Thank you

Q: Please recommend ETFs to follow the Small Cap Index that you have the most confidence in; one in Canada and one in the USA.

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please?

Thx

Q: What would be your choice between :

DJQ1100-C (DESJ CP EP PL-F/SF/N'FRAC) offered by Desjardins or CASH offered by Purpose investment?


Thank you.

Q: My wife is currently doing a little experiment ($2000) with this fund because we can't believe what we see.

This month the fund is paying out 1.447 per share and has paid out more than a dollar every month this year, though less in previous years. Given the share price of $20-22, that puts the dividend at around 7.5% per month which would be a pretty good yearly payout.

I'm of the mind that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Can you walk me through this one?

I am of the mindset

Q: I have recently become aware of the potentially valuable AI aspect of the otherwise uninteresting (to me) bitcoin mining business. Which firms are best situated to profit from AI?
Best regards

Q: Can you please let me know if SOXS, FNGU and MAGS could be traded in TFSA account? Thank you!

Q: In preparation for putting proceeds of PLC tender to work, can you please rank these stocks for potential total return over a 5-7 year timeframe and taking current valuations into account?

Q: Good morning 5i,

Absolutely loving this. I have an income portfolio paying to cover child expenses monthly.

Looking for quality and timely additions especially within sectors that have some up and coming movement.

Currently own BNS, ENB, T, AD.UN.

Would you please give me a basket of 5 names to buy.

Thank you so much.

Q: I was away on holidays for the last few weeks and have watched the whole CRWD disaster unfold but did not do anything with my shares. CRWD has a whole section on their site about the issue but of course nothing on how they will compensate their customers. Am worried that each new lawsuit may knock the stock price down more and it may not recover for years. But on the other hand, maybe the big sell off is over. I am still up nicely BUT at this point, with the share price down around 40%, would you consider selling all or some, or hold? Thank you.

Q: Hello,

I currently hold a half portion of Nutrien in my portfolio. Is this a good time to add more? What is the best entry price? Additionally, could you provide an update on Nutrien’s recent earnings report?

Thanks!

Q: I have US cash to manage to fund our snowbird expenses. I need lower risk, liquidity, with a decent return and HISU.U seems to meet this criteria. Do you think there is a benefit to diversify the cash portfolio into equal amounts of other similar ETF's like PSU.U, ZUP.U, ZMI.U or ZWB.U? Can you recommend a US ETF with moderate risk and opportunity for growth that I could allocate 20% of this cash portfolio for a 5 to 10 year hold? Thanks!

Q: Hi there, thoughts on VET results, share buybacks, debt reduction, forward hedging and North American / European drilling success please?

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i Team

For the reader asking for US$ denominated money market funds at RBC Direct Investing - suggestions are:

RBF2014 a US$ investment savings account with Royal Bank of Canada ($100k CDIC insurance) - trades as a mutual fund but no commission. Interest rate is competitive (4.90 %)

Any of the TSX listed US cash etf listed - RBCD charges $9.95 per buy or sell - as long as buying/selling greater than $1,000 the percentage charged is cheaper than the mutual fund charge (1 % to max $50).

Thanks

Q: Morning,
I recently acquired some information about a new project development in Alberta. A European private equity company has purchased 5 out of 6 quarters of land along the corridor from Edmonton to Calgary(I know this part for a fact). They are going to invest 1 Billion on each quarter of land for Data Centers. Apparently Alberta has a great amount of Dark Fiber Optics available which is perfect for this.
Do you see any investment opportunities here? I assume these Data Centers will need a huge amount of power, so would power producers be an area of opportunity? Such as CPX . Let me know what you think and any ideas.
