Investment Q&A

Q: Please comments on Pltr, is it a buy and hold for long term ? Many thanks

Q: Good morning 5i
Yesterday i asked about a replacement for Magna and you kindly offered tfii and ats. I like these suggestions. But, the problem ( nice to have such a problem) is that i am already quite overweightin tfii and am also overweight inthe industrial sector. So, i am hesitant to buy ats. Do you have an equivalent for ats? Any other sector is ok, although my technology holdings are high. Also a US stock would be ok. It may not be the right mindset but i would like something with growth that can help recuperate some of my loses on mga
Thanks

Q: Hi 5I team

I see in my account that I have received rights equivalent to the shares in IGR that I own. I am unsure of the significance, my options, and/or a recommendation(certainly dependent on my risk/investment tolerance). Could you enlighten me please. I do enjoy the 12+% yield.

Q: Hi there, can I please have your opinion on a company called Envela. Would you rate this company a buy, sell or hold?

Thanks!

Q: I’m invested for the long term. Do you view any of these names as no longer holding any long term potential?
Thanks

Q: VIRT has been banged up recently due, reportedly, to changes in U.S. regulations and their perceived impact. Do you feel that VIRT's stock price has over-reacted and that it might now be considered a buy?

Q: Hello Folks:
As many others I have been hanging onto our Tech stocks (Goog, Amazon and Apple) hopping improvement is in sight.

Currently in consumer stocks we own Costco and Johnson and Johnson and media advises are diversifying more into this segment (eg. Mendalez, P&G etc.) useful strategy.

Do you think thinning down Tech is good advice? Perhaps utilities such as Enbridge could also be good defensive play. We are seniors valuing dividends with which Tech world is parsimonious. Apple appears the best bet in Tech as they actually produce and sell real products. Everything changes, however we value your thoughts and suggestions of including specific equity options (including an ETF). Currently I do not own any ETF's as I have preferred individual companies.
Thank you very much

Q: OMFL Is this ETF a good long term investment? Please educate me what is their "Dynamic Multifactor" method? Does any other ETF use similar method? How has the method performed? Thank you.

Q: My MO is to look at positive-earnings and earnings-growth stocks with price momentum in the past year that seem to be temporarily stalling in the previous month.

Any thoughts on PARR, VIST, CROX, OSG, NRDS?

Q: If I look at the top holdings it appears that the fund will still enjoy the previous level of dividends, add to this the funds from the call options.
With that in mind the dividend from the fund should remain approximately the same as now. Thus a decrease in nav but with a higher yield than a few weeks ago. Am I missing something

Q:


Is STRL big and strong enough to do well in these times? any safer stock with good growth prospects--Canadian or USA? Take as many credits as needed to answer. Helen

Q: Can you tell us your top 3 companies in the world that you would buy if valuation was not important. What i'm looking for is your favorite 3 companies that have too high of a valuation right now but if they pull back further they would be a definite buy? Thx

Q: In a response a couple of weeks ago you briefly compared GSY and OMF. You indicated that you "consider these two solid for those interested in playing the debt theme". Do you feel any differently now.?
Since neither company rely on customer deposits, is there any reason why OMF has fallen so much more in the last week other than being in the financial business in the US?
How much has the risk changed for investors, compared to GSY? With the big drop in price and corresponding rise in yield  (11.8%) do you see OMF more compelling to start a position mostly for income and some growth? 
Lastly, which other high quality small to mid size US companies in other sectors would you consider if the goal was mostly income?

Q: Please compare these companies in light of a possible recession and the tech and financial sector. Which would be your 1st choice for long term.

Thanks as always and happy to renew my membership again this year.

Q: hi folks..hold Digital Turbine..any/much significance to n/r today announcing ..."Flexion and Digital Turbine Announce Strategic Partnership to Unlock Alternative App Distribution and Superior Monetization"....stock bouncing off recent lows but need the experts opinion on news haha...Buy/Hold/Sell...thanks as always, jb Piedmont QC

Q: Struggling with the poor performance of Global Payment Inc. and was hoping you could comment on its decline and the impact of higher interest rates plus recession and future stock price?

Q: Would appreciate your general comments on Irridium Communication. Risk/reward etc. Would you buy it at this stage in our economic cycle?
Thank you

Q: In feb/22 Td made an offer to purchase Fhn (who at THAT time had 55 B in loans and 75B in deposits) for 13 B or $25 a share
At that time U.S. 10 year treasuries were about 40 pts above the 2 year and the U.S. prime rate was 3.25%.
On Mar 17 Fhn was trading at $14.93 down from $21.93 a week ago and the 2 year treasury is now .57pts ABOVE the the 10 year while the U.S. prime rate is now 6.70%
Looks like investors believe Td may back out and or Fhn is losing a lot of deposits.
Meanwhile UBS has made on offer Toi purchase Credit Suisse currently valued at 8 b Euros for 1 B’
Would it not be better for Td to back out of the offer, pay a penalty and use the funds to purchase shares in Charles Schwab at a much lower price then what Td sold them for or offer to purchase Fhn at a much lower price after a NEW risk assessment is done on FHN assets

Q: Small position held. Should this be sold? What will happen to this ETF if some banks go out of business? Could this ever recover? Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan I would like to add some American names as I haven't any in my RRSP or TFSA. Which of these would be best in these accounts. MSFT, NVDA, BRK.B and can you give me one or two other suggestions. Thanks
