Investment Q&A

Q: The last question on High Arctic was in March 2020. (some in January) Have your thoughts changed? Seems to be drifting slightly higher? 49 cents was its 52 week low. Today it is 70 cents. Dividend has been suspended I believe.

The question is to sell, hold or "average in" to reduce my "losses"! It won't reach 3 dollars + for a looong while, I don't think.

If I do decide to sell , what would be your alternative stock to consider? I know you have been suggesting all the subscribers to wade into the market "gingerly" with 1/8th position. (paraphrasing your answers)
Thanks.

Q: I want to add an aggressive position looking for best growth opportunity over the next 2 years. Which of RNX and NVO would you choose? And between those and PSI, which do you think looks best for that 1-2 yr growth?

Q: what do you think of PSi as a buy right now?
how long can they sing this out.
is this company 100% related to the oil sector?

Q: May I have your opinion on the Quarterly Results released by Pason Systems and the decision to cut the dividend from 0.19 cents per quarter to 0.5 cents starting next quarter. Thanks.

Q: What equities in Canada or USA do you consider cheap with great balance sheets.

Q: I am thinking of replacing PSI with TransAlta Renewables in my RRSP for dividend stability , moderate growth, and less risk. Your opinion is appreciated. Joe

Q: Thank you for the updated report on PSI.
My exposure is now very small given the current price. Would you increase to a 2% position or sell the position. I am happy to hold for 5 year +.
Thank you for your guidance.

Q: Can you suggest five companies from the oil sector that are least likely to go into bankruptcy with oil at current prices.

Q: Hi,

Is there an oil stock listed either in Canada or the US or both that does not have any debt on the books? If so, is it possible to name a few.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Research Team:

I have traded Forex before and am new to stock trading. 90% of my RRSP, RESP and TFSA is in cash and I'd like to avail the current market conditions by "gradually" buying the dips.. and holding it over the long term, 5 to 10 years. I understand that no one can time the market or its bottom.

After exploring the reports and questions on your site, I have identified the enclosed 29 stocks based on following criteria:
- Current Retracements of > 75% over 52 week high & low
- Dividend Yield > 5% (in some cases, like WEED, which is a bit risky, I understand there's no dividend in the near term.. and I am simply going for the upside swing over the next 2 years... same for CRON and Air Canada)

Considering my 90% cash position and strategy to partially buy in on dips over the next few weeks, can you please advise if my stock selection is sound. In addition to my stock picks, please advise anything else that I should keep in mind.

Thanks for everything you do. Much appreciate.

Q: I own Pason Systems in my RRSP and am now down 50%. I know that you have sold it out of your Income Portfolio because of what is going on in the industry. I consider Pason has strong management ( will adjust to the changes affecting the company) and a solid balance sheet. I think I should continue to hold as I have the time especially considering the dire situation that the oil industry is in. What is your view. Thanks.

Q: Hi,
Can you list 5 stocks with 4% yield having a good balance sheets.
Thank you for your support

Q: Hi,

If you were to look at your Income Portfolio with a critical eye, are there any companies or ETFs there that you would consider at high risk of reducing their dividend/distribution? If so, why?

Thanks,

Gord

Q: What would be your top picks in this environment meeting these criterias: low debt, low payout, 3%+ yield. 5 names+ would be great. Long term investment. No financials or real estate. Thank you!

Q: Could you name 3 Canadian energy companies that are low cost, debt-free producers that might be worth watching for an entry point?
Thanks; and thank you for your report and communications today!

Q: I have a chunk of Pason that I've been keeping as a long term investment in my TFSA. Is Pason diversifying its portfolio fast enough to make up for reduced demand from the oil patch? Should I think of Pason as a long-term or short-term investment? Thanks!

Q: Pason Systems released their financial results which are not great. I would appreciate your comments on the results and do you see Pason as a hold for the long term.

Q: I'm continuing to rebalance my portfolios. The above stocks are in my income portfolio and are less than full positions. Would you sell any of them? I have enough cash on hand to top up two of them. Which would you top up. (I hold 22 diverse stocks in this account)

Q: I have small positions in these companies and they are down by about 50%.
Are the dividends secure in your opinion? I am just deciding to add or sell. Do you think there might be a turn around in this sector over the next year?

Q: 10+ year hold....would you be buyers at this point?
