Q: I believe that the tides are changing for nuclear power/attitudes are shifting.. over the next decade i expect there will be a lot more demand for uranium.

What are the best ways to play this? Cameco is the one that comes to mind, but would a Uranium price based index be best or some sort of mix? I'd like something that has a bit of torque without being too risky.

What do you think?

Q: You recently said that BN has more upside potential than the Canadian banks. However, I can't bring myself to trust BN management for a number of reasons, including opaque financials, constant shuffling of assets, too many interrelated corporate entities and emphasis on non-GAAP measures rather than good old-fashioned earnings. What gives you confidence that BN is a better long term investment than the Canadian banks?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Curious if you have suggestions for investing in Japan? We have been hearing more about the theme that Japan is in the begins of a bull market. I am wondering if there are good vehicles to particapte in a positive economic environment in Japan that will give us gains in excess of currency devaluation.

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
We currently hold CBO, CLF & XRB at 25/25/50% all as long term holdings in a slight loss position. I believe we are currently at (or very near) peak interest rates. Do you have any suggestions to bond replacements that might be better positioned to capture rate reductions for these holdings. (not accounting for the bonus of tax loss selling)
Again many thanks
Les

Q: I am looking to add exposure to Canadian Banks. Given current pricing it seems like a good time to add exposure. Can you rank your favourite banks at this time. Do you have a preferred Bank ETF that could also provide good Canadain Banking exposure.

Thanks

Q: Peter,

You recently mentioned recently the way to play AI was through U.S. Mega cap companies. Which ones in particular were you referring to ? Are there any ETF's worth reviewing?

Q: I have a sum of money lying in a savings account earning neglible interest.
I would like to invest this money in some sort of interest bearing etf or portfolio.
My options would be to invest the money in:-
1) 5i Research Income Portfolio.
2) Hamilton ETF's HDIV and HYLD. I would put equal amounts into each ETF My thinking is that HDIV would give the income yield and HYLD would supply the growth.
I already run your 5i research Income Portfolio which I could add to

Q: It seems NWH.UN has got itself into a bit of a tangle, and I am not sure how or why. Reading your notes the business looks as though it is rock solid, but the shares continue to unravel and your recent post seems to indicate they do need the current restructuring (correct word?) to take place. The share price is now at an all time new low, save for the pandemic induced low in 2020, and still potentially sliding. What is their difficulty? Over commitment, ex pandemic issues, recent rate rises, blissful overconfidence during the interest rate lull, management, sector issues, etc.,etc,.?? Your original note to me did reference debt, as well as a lack of growth and general concerns about commercial real estate, yet in the latter case I would have excluded NWH from the more usual commercial considerations. The answer is relevant because a worthwhile outlook should include recovery, even if it is priced on the basis of low or even no growth, and that assessment would be appreciated. Look forward to your response.

Q: I already own Honeywell and BAE Systems but want to increase and diversify my holdings in Industrials. I know you like ROP, but I am also looking at PAYX, MMM and EMR. I am tempted by MMM, because it is so beaten up and is quite different from my existing holdings, but I worry that it is beaten up for good reason. Could you rank these four industrials in terms of quality for a long term investment, taking into account their current valuations?
