Investment Q&A

Q: In a recent answer you said "We feel that the slightly overcrowded flight to safety in large-cap tech names can open up opportunities for smaller and mid-sized names".

Is there a canadian ETF that reflects an investment in small and mid cap tech in Canada that is worth investing in right now ? And if not is there an American one ? Thanks

Q: Is AI a net headwind or tailwind for the software companies within CSU? Are their legacy companies particularly vulnerable to being displaced by AI?

Thanks.

Q: Td shows figures for Return on Investment and Return on Capital. I'm looking for Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). Where can I find this?

Q: Hi team,

I recently trimmed my position in NVDA and I would like to add the proceeds to my dividend income.

I currently owe BAC, BX, DFS, DUK, HAS, GLW, KMI, NVT, PAC, SWKS, VZ, WMB AND ABBV for dividend and some growth. I would like to add one or more US company to this list.

Any suggestions to add to this list? And, what company would you replace in this list if you have any concerns?

Oh, I'm not a big fan of tobacco companies.

Thank you for the great service and I really appreciate your insights.

Q: As I'm sure you're aware, this is a name that has been drifting steadily lower since it ranked on its disappointing latest earnings release. Do you think it remains a premier us drug manufacturer worth holding or would you recommend redeploying the capital into another name?

Q: if you had to pick only one between ABNB or MELI for 3 to 5 year hold which one would you choose.

Q: I always seem to buy right at a high. Any idea why this is down so much last two sessions? I bought at $98 and it’s promptly fell $10.

Q: May you kindly provide a brief update on ULTA?

Is has come off significantly. Would you continue to hold for the long term? If your opinion has changed, and a switch is warranted, please Provide me with your highest conviction picks.

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
I don't know much about these names but am thinking about investing in one or both, so a few questions to get me started and please deduct as you see fit.
You were asked this morning if SHOP's entry into the POS arena would affect LSPD, and I have the same question, but with respect to NVEI - will SHOP be competing with NVEI in that area?
I think tech may be getting ready for a turn around. Do you think that conclusion is justified by the facts on the ground so far as they are known and, if so, are either or both of SHOP and NVEI likely to benefit given their current prices or, put another way, are they at good entry points?
Does it make sense to own both, or better to take the $$ that would be split between them and go all in on one? If so, which one?
Thanks.
Peter

Q: Hi,

Thanks,

Q: Can you recommend 5 top value Canadian and 5 USA companies that have solid long-term businesses, with great management, a good P/E and have no debt or very low debt. Would really like to find a solid core of buy and hold names in any sector. It would appear to me that SLF would be one good choice.
Thanks!

Q: My Canadian small caps are really dragging my portfolio down. I just don't understand why these stocks trading at like a 6 P/E are not recovering when technology stocks are skyrocketing. I thought small caps recovered first.

Q: Good morning team,
Could you please give your take on these holdings .. keepers or let go? With the exception of TECK, I am down with the rest. Although they are good companies, they don't seem to have +ve momentum ..
I appreciate your thoughts ?
Thanks
CR

Q: your thoughts on PD these days. Hold or no? thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I realize you don’t follow the Japanese market but if you were to try to ride the current momentum there how would you do it?
Thank you

Q: Paul today asked about exchanging Brookfield reinsurance shares for BN. Are all of the Brookfield shares interchangeable? I have some BAM that I have been planning to sell. But, if they are interchangeable that may be a better option.
Thanks as always

Q: My MGA is sagging but I still like the company's future. My ATS is doing fine, thank you very much. I'm thinking about selling MGA and increasing my ATS to a full position. Long time horizons but in say five years, which company would you rather be in today? thanks

Q: Is it too late to get into NVDA? Is it a FOMO trade now? Where would you put new money for growth (3-5 years) NVDA, SMCI, AMD or some other name? Please reply with a short reason and take as many credits as needed. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i,
What happens to NWH stock price if the UK sale does not happen?
What happens to the price if the distribution is cut.

Thanks

Q: The sudden price rise in NVDA seems like a bubble. While I want to continue to own this company into the future, is it time to take some off the table?

In other words, would you recommend sell, say, a quarter of it now and wait for a pullback to buy more? Would you wait and perhaps do this down the road?
