Investment Q&A

Q: Which ETFs do you consider best for strong growth at this time, Cdian or US, irrespective of sectors, with an indication of the degree of risk for each ? Would CIBR be one of them ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: I have held EA for almost five years, and it has only gone up 8% in all that time. My son is a gamer and said that other than F1, all the games he plays are made by other video game makers. So, I am thinking of selling and either adding to my IRJ (small caps) position or starting a new position in IJH (mid caps). Do you see much potential in EA? Am I too late to buy IJH? My other thought was maybe Uber? Everyone seems to use Uber these days. Thank you.

Q: Was just about to step in to my first purchase of NEE when they make a big equity sale announcement at $50? Am I getting that right? The stock trades at $69 today. That seems extreme. The news release is very hard for me to decipher. Can you explain this in layman's terms and whether this is good or bad for today's valuation? Would you step in here or wait for things to settle down?

Q: Can you explain the differences between qqq and elk? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each? What are the differences in their portfolio composition? Which would you hold for pure growth?

Q: I understand that XL K will be rebalancing on Friday after market closing. Currently Nvidia has a 6 to 7% weighting in the XL K. This will increase with the rebalancing given the large increase in Nvidia’s value.
will this necessarily mean that the XLK will open at a significantly higher price next week. And would that justify adding to XLK now. Thank you.

Q: Good day gentlemen. A bit of a rally in this name with Ai momentum of recent days. What do you see short term with earnings out in a little over a month.

Q: Hi 5i, I recently sold VZ so looking for your direction on a replacement. Was thinking either Telus or T-Mobile unless you have a preferred suggestion?
Really appreciate your help.

Q: Thanks to recently learning about CDR's, I've been able to add NVDA (already up 20%) and LLY to my portfolio, which otherwise is dominated by TSX-listed stocks.

I'm interested in five other CDR's. Please rank them from your highest conviction pick to your least favourite: Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft and AVGO.

Thank you very much for your service and advice. Pete.

Q: Would you please suggest your 3 top Income dividend stocks, high yield , some growth but not required, capital preservation a must.
Already have ENB, VDY, XDIV , any other suggestion ?
Please and thanks 5i

Q: Which two companies would you suggest look most attractive on a long term basis?
Thanks

Q: Last year in answer to a question you ranked these companies (among others) in this space in this order CME, MSCI, SPGI. Guests on BNN recently had MSCI and SPGI as top picks. Just interested in your latest thoughts on these three please. Thank you.

Q: Can I please get your thoughts and opinion about selling a position in TEAM to initiate a new position in TSLA for a long term hold?

Thanks, hopefully a million:)

Q: Hi 5i!
Piggy backing off one of my last questions on building a solid portfolio from scratch through diversification et al(THANK YOU!). Knowing you can’t get personal; looking for some mid to long term hold recommendations (either US or CA) in the following sectors with growth upside in mind as I have significant cash (250K+) sitting in my RRSP doing nothing. I am currently quite top heavy in Tech – and own the above in registered and non-registered accounts.

If you have several recos for a sector, can you please rank in order of preference. Additionally, if there is a sector that can be put to the side with the idea of prioritizing others, I would be keen to know. Also open to add ETF's to represent a sector. As always, thanks a million. I love your service.

• Healthcare

Q: Hi. Could you please provide me with Visa's 1,3 and 5 year estimates for eps and revenue growth? Given its present price, would you be a buyer of it for a long-term hold? If not, what would you consider a 'good' price for purchase?

Q: Good morning,

If one wanted to have a 1-2% portfolio weight in US private equity, what one PE firm would you recommend? KKR? BX?

Thanks very much.

Q: Hello 5i,

We have a small position of ACLS to sell and add to VRT or SMCI, or open a new position of DRX.

Which stock has your highest conviction today?

Thank you

Q: My question is about CreditRiskMonitor (CMRZ) they are solvent from what I can gather but their main competitor Dun & Bradstreet Holdings (DNB) is not, what can you tell me about CMRZ besides it is tightly/majority held by the Flum family?

Q: Could you please explain what would/should have changed with the split, if you held NVDA CDRs rather than the regular shares.
Thank you.
