Investment Q&A

Q: Hi There, I am interested in considering buying TTP and/or TQCD ETF's for my NonReg account. TTP is the passive Canadian index and TQCD is supposedly actively managed. Is there somewhere that can provide me information on the tax efficiencies of these two ETF's. I would like to get an idea of how they might impact my yearly tax return. Many thanks.

Q: Your thoughts on these two juniors?

Q: Hey team,
Looking to start a position - any preference at this time for a long term hold. Currently have a small Visa position in an RRSP. This would be a CDR holding in a cash account.
Thank you

Q: Given recent price gains of this fund, do you see more growth? I currently own this in one account and am contemplating buying more in another account. Comments?

Q: What do you think of WGS? After the pullback the fundamentals don't seem so high anymore for a high flyer. 5.5x 2026 revenue, 70% margin. Would you pick them over GRAL?

Q: Hi 5i, a member referred to useful articles that you published on all-in-one ETF's.
Could you please point these articles out.
Thanks, and keep up your great work in 2026.

Q: Have you had a chance to read Chuck Akre’s (Akre Capital) recent commentary on Constellation Software and the impact of AI?
He describes the current market uncertainty as a test of conviction, comparing the volatility to the "Gom Jabbar" test from Dune. What strikes me most is his conclusion: far from being a threat, AI appears to be an "advantageous wind" that reinforces the three pillars of their model, especially their reinvestment economics.
Do you agree with Akre that the market is underestimating CSI’s ability to turn this technological "pain" into a long-term competitive advantage? Thanks

Q: Hello and thanks for a great service. I'm in a high tax bracket and have never utilized Flow Through's. What do you think of them and how would you do your due diligence on them?

Q: I don't know who else to ask on this one. I trade on both TD Waterhouse and NBDC. On occasion, I find them giving quite different stock readouts. For example, right now, it's 12:52PM on Jan 19. NBDB is showing VXM at 49.80 -08% with a bid/ask of 48.77-50.92. TD is showing it at 50.79 +1.84% with a bid ask of 50.25-50.92. How can they have such widely different quotes?

I realize NBDB doesn't show live quote on its main page, but it does when you bring up the buy/sell pop-up. So these quotes should be identical. But this is not the first time I've found such wide ranges.

Q: Do you like this company and if so would you purchase the Canadian or U.S. version?

Q: Hi there, I recently asked the questions below. Would it be possible to provide TSX equivalents to your recommended ETFs? Thanks!

Q: Hi there,

Are you bullish on commodities going into 2026? If so, do you have any recommendations for ETFs in the commodity space?

Thank you!

Q: If CSU beats their numbers for Q4 handily, do you think the stock may still continue to go down because AI still hasn't had a full effect on their numbers?

thanks

Q: What are your trusted sources for forward sales, earnings and ebitda in trying to determine valuations?

Thank you,

Q: Utilities. They had a strong performance in 2025. I am hearing a number of investors beating the table for utilities again in 2026 especially utilities with a strong commitment to AI.

1. Do you agree with that thesis?

2. Which 3 utility stocks CAD or USD would you recommend buying now.
3. Is there an etf that has a major composition in AI oriented utilities?

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i. Shopify has taken quite a dip lately. Is this an amplification of overall market jitters or is there something else taking place?

Thx

Q: Interested in your take on this company and would you consider starting a position at this time advisable.

Q: Your last comments on this stock was Dec 10th2025. The stock has pretty much doubled since then What is your opinion today. Anything changing?

Q: Could I get an updated assessment on this company. Is it inexpensive relative to its historic PE's. Does expected growth make it an attractive buy at the current price?
Thank you.

Q: This is a followup to your answer (thank you) regarding how to made a determination of which 'favourite' stocks to remove when one has too many .
Could you give me a few of what you think would be the most important ratios, or other factors to consider when assessing a balance sheet/valuation. I would be interested in those that would apply to most sectors, although if there are any that are unique to Industrial, Tech, Financial that would be helpful as well.
Just an add on question regarding P/E ratio. I noticed from a previous question I had regarding an answer you have to another member. You quoted a P/E ratio of 14 for TD based on consensus earnings estimates from Bloomberg. When I look at the drop down fundamental info on either my TD Webroker platform or 5i's dropdown info on any equity that is listed in the heading of a question, I see in both cases P/E being quoted at 11.15 for TD. How does one know whether the P/E ratios being quoted are forward earnings (as your Bloomberg quote indicates) or not. I see TTM - twelve month trailing- occasionally noted for certain ratios, eg. Price/Cash Flow but that doesn't seem to be the case for P/E in the TD/5i platforms ?
You may have done a blog or article that would cover my questions - but if not, perhaps it would be helpful to some other members?
