Investment Q&A

Q: Now that Wealthsimple is offering Fractional Share purchases does it make sense to buy the Faang?

Thanks!

Q: After its earnings release, would you consider NFLX is now close to the status of a mature enterprise? Still worthy of above-average multiples , but with a P/E that could be justifiable around 25, and likely not today’s sky-high multiples.

1. What is your thinking on this, after last night’s results? Would you be of the mind that NFLX share price will from now rise very modestly ,or even remain flattish, over the next 3 to 5 years?
2. At the time of sending this question, I don’t yet see any updates of analyst ratings but perhaps they will be available at time of your answer. Post latest results what do you see as PEG, forward P/E and, if available, growth/contraction in global revenues?
3. Do you think today’s sell off in NFLX is an opportunity to add? Would you top up on a half position, or liquidate?

Your opinions have always been valuable and most helpful. Thank you.

Q: Peter; Biden seems intent on hiring very anti trust
personnel to go after the tech sector.Do you have any thoughts on this and/or concerns? Thanks. Rod

Q: Has ECN reached its potential or does it have some room to run yet? As the Covid crisis improves and people do less renos, shopping ect. will this effect share price? Finally are they in a position to aquire another company to grow? Thanks

Q: What does the latest news that well put out mean for the company.

Q: It looks like around Seven AM this morning the Canadian dollar abruptly shot up a more than 1%, thus wiping out any gains I might make for the day. Any idea what the cause was? Any predictions about where the dollar-dollar ratio is headed in the near term? I hold a lot of US stocks in unhedged Canadian ETFs and am now reconsidering the helpfulness of hedged products.

Q: Hello 5i Team

BIPC in their July 19 press release quoted the Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) report that recommends IPL shareholders vote for the BIPC offer to purchase IPL.

Is the ISS report available to general investors? From what I read on ISS website (buried under the Press Center page), ISS reports are not made public, nor does ISS issue press releases.

Is BIPC being disingenuous in touting the ISS report, when small investors are not able to review the ISS report and make their own decision on whether to accept the recommendations of ISS and vote on the BIPC takeover?

Thank you

Q: ECN is expected to show strong earnings over the next 12 months and even now after a nice move in the share price shares are still selling at a very reasonable multiple. Based on the earnings projections and the nature and size of the company where would you see the shares trading over the next 12 months?

Q: Hello, could you please provide some of your favourite ETF's to fill the fixed income portion of a portfolio?

What about cash?

Q: This mine seems to be in a perilous situation. Bankruptcy is not out of the question I suppose. And now 3 Appian board members have resigned.
The senior creditor is BNP and Appian holds "mega millions" of shares. In March, New Gold invested $25 million and still the sp is falling like a rock.
What is your 2 cents on Harte Gold

Q: I’ve owned Ecn since inception, it ran up over 10.00 today. Do you think it can run further, is it a hold or buy at this level? What do you think about long term risks like interest rates etc.

Thanks

Q: Thoughts please on the Pangeo acquisition and the bought deal at .50 per share. Tough hit for existing shareholders in the short term, would you be a buyer of these shares today at .50 or less?

Q: What would be your favorite Canadian stocks to initiate a position in at this time for a long term position? I know that's vague but I'm looking to reinvest the cash from PHO. Not looking to replace it necessarily with something similar in the same sector but just the best opportunity.

Thanks

Q: Taking recent news into account, would you buy Largo at current prices?

Q: Hi again 5i,
Could I have your thoughts on the prospects for copper generally and CS particularly over the next 6 months or so? I understand China might have a lot to do with where copper goes but I don't feel very confident about analyzing the economics and/or geopolitics that affect copper miners and producers. Not long ago CS was looking very strong but very quickly it seems to have lost its lustre - is this just par for the course for commodities or are the swings accelerating as the pace of events and news travels ever faster?
Thanks,
Peter
