Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have been trying to find companies that would benefit from the self driving car. Be it the detection systems/software systems that would have to be installed. Do you have any that you would recommend or not recommend or just your overall opinion in this area of the market?
Thank you.

Q: Good afternoon.
I've been doing a little research on the growth of artificial intelligence in Canada and I would appreciate any insight/ recommendations you may have for investment knowing that there could be a high level of risk involved. This would probably be for a TFSA account with a 1-5 year frame. Might there be an IPO(s)on the horizon worth investigating?
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

I know you generally don't research U.S. companies but I thought I would ask your opinion on Nike. I bought a small position last year for $59 and change. I have watched it continue to go down and really not be able to get above $54. Would you advise I just sell and cut my losses or should I wait things out?

I really appreciate your opinion. Thanks.

Q: Based on your previous answers you seem to have a luke-warm response to Visa as a stock and appear to favor U.S. banks for example over Visa. Can you expand on that preference and what your thoughts are on Visa alone. Folding Visa Europe into the company seems to offer a lot of potential. Do you think the risk of different payment alternatives becoming available puts Visa at too much risk given its relatively expensive multiple. Thanks for your input.

Q: Lately there’s been a profusion of articles warning about the deeply negative effect Trump’s policies might have on Canada, with respect to trade agreements, taxes on imports, foreign investment shifting from Canada to the USA, etc. To the extent an investor should be influenced by this new outlook, I was wondering if you could list the sectors and associated companies in Canada which you think would be hurt the most if the dire warnings come true, and which ones would be the most resilient. Also, are there any particular foreign investments Canadians should be considering at this time? Let’s assume a time horizon of at least four, and possibly eight, years. Thanks for your insights.
