Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I am looking to make an investment in a company that produces rare earth metals. What would you consider the best TSX listed companies in this sector. Do you think any potential trade conflict between Trump and China could have an effect on the rare earth metals market. Thanks

Q: Hi team, I've owned 1000 shares of PDN from 2007, my break even cost is 1.95 if I buy 4000 more today it would drop to .44 cents. I would do this only with the hope of a takeover, firstly, would this be possible considering its debt. I know you are not big fans of this, but what are your thoughts it's .04% of my portfolio. Thanks, and all the best for the New Year, Nick

Q: I have the listed companies in my TFSA($60k). I haven't been too concerned with portfolio weightings due to the portfolio size and have let the winners run. As a result close to 50% of the portfolio is held in just 2 stocks (CCL.B and CRH) I have nice gains in the others except DBOX and SYLOGIST which are both flat and I have considered switching out. Two questions I have are 1. Do you think it is a prudent strategy to stay this course or would you rebalance keeping in mind these weightings are not that out of whack when you consider my other portfolios? 2. What name(s) would you consider adding to this mix for my 2017 contribution of $5500.

Thank you and Merry Christmas to the entire 5i staff for your outstanding service.

Q: Hello 5i,

I'm considering PLS for my TFSA as I have no materials exposure. Currently holding Boyd, Enghouse, Spin Master, Premium Brands. I know this is speculative, but in light of potential infrastructure spend in the U.S., possible lower CAD and a stock that seems oversold, in your opinion is it worth the investment or would you have a better recommendation.

Thanks

Q: Peter and team

I am looking to add some growth potential (along with acknowledged risk) to an otherwise fairly balanced portfolio.
Sector allocation aside, could you please comment on CRH, ITC, and PHO with regard to current valuation, potential growth, risk, and order of preference in the current market.

Thank you for a great service.

Phil

Q: I have been following this company for the last six months. I'm putting some faith in the fact that Keith Neumeyer (FR,FM) should know how to develop the assets. I like the fact that they picked up assets in a depressed market, and sell or strike production deal when the commodity is higher and sit on it in the meantime. However, like storage wars no one really knows what's behind garage door or in this case under the ground. To that end the press release of December 1st speaks to drilling results of the various projects being released in early 2017. My question is: do they not have an obligation to release material findings as soon as they have it? My other question is on the strong volume last Friday of 50 Million shares being traded, about 30x the average daily volume. Does that indicate anything? Would a large buyer normally average in?
