Q: Hi 5i Team,

I'm trying to clean up my US Portfolio so that I'm at 20-25 equities total. Please advise which 20-25 companies you would keep for a 5-10+ hold with balance/diversification but also some growth in mind.

Q: I have purchased a Bitcoin TEF in the past as a trade. I made money and got out. I do not have the understanding/trust in crypto to consider making a longer term or large Investment. I am aware that there are crypto assets, trading platforms and miners. However the concept seems to be based entirely on a level of trust which I do not have. This question is not about FOMO. I do not have a burning desire to invest here but to understand. I am not asking for deep dive but what is your approach to investing in the crypto market? Thanks for your help.

Mike

Q: When 5i wrote the report on PRL the share price was $15.65 ..... Today it is $23.60 . Which is a considerable rise since the report was written ...... Could 5i plug in the current share price into the section titled " Valuation " and calculate and reassess the same statements using the current share price ? ....... This will help me make a decision regarding a purchase at the current share price .... Thanks as always for your valuable analysis .....

Q: With the “missed” earnings, if there was a sharp pullback tomorrow, at what price range would you be a buyer? Aggressive buyer? Would you wait a few days or weeks for it to settle before buying? Avg cost is $50 so I’m still nicely up but would like to add more to my position for a long term investment. Assuming you still the long term thesis on this story? Thanks!

Q: With oil and gas being so cyclical, how would one decide when to sell? Any specific indicators associated traditionally with the up or down in that sector?
I have SU and TOU right now. How do you think they will do in the next 6 and 12 months and 3 years, and why?

Q: Hi. I sold VRIF mainly for tax loss and and also because the dividend went down. But I own it in another account and would have received a dividend within 30 days of selling it. So can I claim the tax loss?

Q: Trying to understand recent moves of TFII. It continues to drift lower but analysts are posting reports with buy recommendations well over current price. Can you shed light on what, if any relationship, there is between stock price and analyst recommendations and target prices? I know its not a linear relationship but what?

Q: I don't understand. MRC does over $1 bil in rev, has only 11 mil shares, never issues more; yet pays almost no div, has a lousy ROE and the current stock price of $110 is almost as low as ever. Yet it has a tangible book value of $355, over 3x it's stock price. That's just weird. Why isn't the price much higher? Is it so badly run that no one wants to pay for that value? Help me understand the issue(s) here please. Thanks so much.

Q: I did increase lately the % of utilities ( stocks+ETF) in my portfolios ( up to 38%) , since 1) the entry price seems ok ,2) utilities should maintain long term dividends for revenue ,3) they should resist more than other sectors in case of bear or volatile markets,4) still have some capital appréciation potential.What is your point of vue ? many thanks..

Q: This is an extremely small position that I took a flier on as I believe helium sourcing from Canada would be a good opportunity in a market characterised by uncertainty and geopolitical risk (as >1/2 of helium comes from geopolitically-sensitive areas).

The stock in the last couple of weeks has just tanked - any reason for this? It's been so drastic the drop so I'm curious. I have <$1k invested but super curious to know what's happening.
