Investment Q&A

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

Q: Would you start to buy CELH / TIXT now or do you foresee the opportunity to buy either of them at lower price from here? Other than market fluctuations, anything specific in the near future that might be a headwind for either of them. Thanks.

Q: I am interested in starting a position in 1 or 2 of the companies addressed. PINS was at the top of my list but I’m uncertain if I’ve missed my opportunity after their impressive earnings report. Can you please rank these companies in order of growth potential for the rest of the year / best value at today’s prices.
Thank you.

Q: How do the above two 3D print companies compare? Do you feel the 3D print sector is becoming a better area for investment after past hype? Is the industry experiencing higher, more stable growth than in the past? Any other companies you like in this sector. Dm for example.

Q: HI 5i Team. I really appreciate your comments that speak to opportunities/areas or perhaps "themes" where you currently see good growth opportunities now and in the coming years. Some commentators have pointed to themes such as EV and materials that support EV, clean tech generally, changes in healthcare, etc. What would you consider to be some of the better investing themes right now (say 3 or 4?) and what would some of your suggestions right now for some good Canadian and good US stock selections within each, with growth in mind over a roughly 5 year horizon in a TFSA. I already have positions in LSPD, WELL, XBC and QST, and I plan to acquire AZT next. So I would be interested in hearing about your ideas and suggestions that might provide some additional diversification into other areas. Thanks very much - take as many question credits as necessary.

Q: If an investor is expecting a potential 10% market pullback in the coming weeks and they want to "partially" hedge their portfolio without selling or shorting their holdings, what percentage of an inverse ETF like PSQ would you recommend holding versus the value of their long position? In other words, in a $1,500,000 portfolio, what dollar amount would you hold in PSQ shares? Thank you!!

Q: My advisor has suggested I average down buy these two stocks PEP and K (underwater on both). I'm hesitant to proceed that way and would rather look at consumer discretionary ideas with more growth. What would you suggest? I consider myself an aggressive investor. Looking for a 2-3 year hold.

Thanks, as always for th great advise.

Dave

Q: Seems like the stock is going to open much lower in reaction to their latest quarter. May you please comment on their quarter and is it a good entry point? I already hold some NVDA per your strong recommendation, but if I wanted to diversify in the sector.. would QCOM be your second recommendation as of today? Thank you !

Q: Hello Peter, with Alphabet's huge cash hoard and pressure on the company to control expenses, do you expect they might institute a dividend soon? Should they? Would the market reward that decision with a price increase, do you think?
Also, despite paying a premium of several extra dollars when I bought GOOGL (not GOOG) several years ago, I'm chagrined to see that my GOOGL shares now trade at several dollars less. Given that the GOOGL shares have voting rights that the GOOGs don't, I'm a bit puzzled. Do you think the old premium will return at some point?

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I have a couple questions where I'd appreciate your expertise.
First, I've been holding BRK.B long term, and even after shaving my position last year, and the year before, due to its performance, it's currently 28% of my total non-registered portfolio. I'd appreciate your thoughts on whether I should continue to pare down my position (it's up 170% at present).
Second, I would like to add some international equities to my overall portfolio. As Scotia iTrade is limited to US and Canada, can you recommend a solid, and cost-effective online brokerage for global markets?
Thank you! Aaron
