Q: hello 5i:
Despite being one of the largest auto manufacturers, there are NO questions on Tata Motors. While the charts for this company are not pretty, the upside looks huge to me. For a very small position (1-2%), can you give me your take on this company, please.
thanks

Q: Read u comments on Oct 3,in summary,no big rush to own it as the negatives outweight the positives. In light of the recent events,please provide u updated comments as I am considering to establish a position.HuaWei,(not listed) beat its main competitors,ERIC & NOK in the 5G sector by a wide margin.However USA is pressuring the rest of the world not to use Hua Wei for national security reasons.On 18,rumour that China is exerting pressure on Germany over Hua Wei.On Oct 19,Greenland picks ERIC over Hua Wei.Also ERIC announced that it is teaming up with MSFT for next generation of connected cars On Oct 20,announced that it is increasing its credit facilities to US$150m,of which $98m is to repay existing loan & balance for 5G research. ERIC was doing nicely prior to Oct 19 when it dropped 0.40 to $8.80 from $9.20.On Oct 20,it initially declined but closed unchanged @ $8.80. Its Q results since Q1,2016 were inconsistent .But Q3 reported on Oct 17/19 showed EPS of 0.18, beating estimates by 157.14%.Are there any US firms entering the 5G sector? Looking forward to u usual great views & services .Merry Xmas & All the Best to 2020 to all.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

This is not a question, but rather a comment. I often read in the Q@A that the insurance on GICs is $100,000. This is not entirely true. If you invest in a GIC at an Ontario credit union or caisse populaire, the insurance is $250,000. See the link below.

Q: India-I would like to broaden my investments internationally and am drawn to growth in India. The Fairfax option is less desireable to me because the units are (I believe) sold in U.S. Dollars. a)Are there any investment vehicles that you would recommend? and b) any with dividends?

Q: QD is currently in "falling knife"mode. In your opinion, does their relatively strong apparent fundamentals argue for a speculative buy?

Q: From the little information I was able to dig up, it would seem that Mix Telematics is among the top providers of cloud-based SaaS for tracking fleets of commercial vehicles worldwide. It also appears that its share price is currently at bargain levels compared to its competitors. Is there something fundamentally amiss with this company or is the problem a temporary issue which would be to my advantage to exploit by buying right now?

Q: I was watching BNN last night and they had Asian correspondents on talking about Cathay Pacific and all of the challenges they are having with earnings amid the unrest. My thesis (and what I would like you to comment on) is whether this might not be a time to buy into a company facing headwinds that are beyond its control but priced into the stock? I love flying on the airline and hope you can comment on the stock.

Q: For the moment, I'm satisfied with each of the CDN and US holdings in my portfolio. But I have nothing that is non-North American. So I'm planning to invest about $50,000 which would be 10% of my current portfolio. I haven't tracked international equities very much and am looking for recommendations. What do you think about purchasing individual stocks ... intending LT (5+ year) hold? Could you suggest 4 or 5 stocks I might look at? Asia? Europe? etc. Finally, if you're not keen on investing in individual stocks, can you recommend a few international ETFs for me to research? Thanks very much. (5i is an awesome resource for me).

Q: Which company do you like better as a long term hold in an RRSP?
