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 a small position purchased quite a while ago. Since purchasing it has been up and down, most of time was under water, now it is up about 30%. I am thinking of switching it to a better one with potentially more growth and stable. Could you please provide your comments?

Thanks,

Lin

Q: Hello 5i,
You recently mentioned HIND-T in a response.
On the surface, this would be ideal for my needs: increase U.S., increase Industrial, and increase dividend yield/income.
Conversely, it is very small (~23 m AUM?), trades very thinly, and is very, very new.
Given the above, how would you rate this equity as an investment for a retiree?
Any other caveats you would care to add?
Any similar, but better, alternatives that you would prefer?
Many thanks for your insights!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Hi with interest rates beginning to edge lower what would be the sectors most likely to benefit? Could you give me a couple of your favourite picks for each of those sectors. Would you be edging in, fully buying in, or hold off for a possible October correction? With the likely chaotic return of Trump to the Presidency would the Renewable stocks such as BEPC be at risk of correcting under this scenario? He does not like windmills much... Thank you for your service and deduct credits as you see fit.

Q: Thank you for your wise answer last week: Sentiment toward the company is fairly poor right now and toward the discretionary sector more widely. FIVE remains a strong company fundamentally with a long runway for growth via store openings but we might give them one more quarter for a bit more clarity/visibility before adding to the name.

The stock tumbled 25% yesterday and the CEO is out and the stock is at 76$ now. What would you do now ? Is the decline an overreaction ? Thanks again !

Q: Hi Peter & team,

I am curious about your thoughts with regards to MindMed (MNMD). They are a US biotech that is involved with clinically supervised psychedelic therapy for PTSD, anxiety, etc.

Promising research has come out of Johns Hopkins led by Roland Griffiths. Public trust still needs to be ascertained, however, even if trust seems to be waning slowly with conventional medicine.

Would this be a holding that you expect to do well in the long term?

Any other non-conventional biotech firms that show promise?


Thank you!

Regards,
Andrew M.

Q: The switch to small-mid caps predicted by the 5i team is evident in the past few days. Seems to be in part at the expense of large caps that have been very successful in the past year (largely tech names). Many of us have a diversified portfolio that includes small through large cap holdings. However, is there sufficient uninvested money on the sidelines to support a broad range of gains or do we need to adjust our portfolios, away from AI names, for example, to profit from the rotation? The AI story seems to be in early stages but the market may not be adequately supported or rational in the short term. Do nothing and stay the course or react and trade with the trend?

Q: Hi 5i,

Are there any value based European ETFs that you could recommend? If none that are value focused, then what would be a good European ETF in general?

TIA!

Q: Hi 5I, my question is more about portfolio construction. I have moved both AMT and CCI to the communications sector of my portfolio to raise the percentage in that sector and to decrease the financial sector or REITS. It it fair to do such things as it does feel like they belong in the communications sector.
Thanks
