Investment Q&A

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

Q: Based on your experience and the resources you have access to, do you care to give your educated and thoughtful guess on the following: IF Apple were to proceed with building smart cars, would you agree Apple is far more likely to contract with MGA than with any legacy automakers? In this context , let us define “far more likely” as a greater than sixty percent chance. If you place the chances significantly lower than that, would you not agree that MGA is now fully valued? Come now, perhaps even modestly over valued?

Q: Would you say the slide in shares of NFLX post-earnings today is overdone? I think it is the only FANG member that has rested on its laurel this calendar year whilst other members of that club have whizzed by (with the possible exception of AAPL) . At the now reduced price, down some 10% I think , is NFLX now at a price that one may top up a one-third already held?

If you have an *enthusiastic* yes, please advise what you see for the following metrics: ROE, PEG and ROCI— all based on the latest financials please.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
A good friend of mine has all his investments in 2 funds.  

RESP: CIBC Managed Aggressive Growth Portfolio

RRSP: BMO SelectTrust Equity Growth Portfolio - Series A

He has everything in those two funds. Are they worth holding? What do you suggest I advise him?  I've talked to him about ETF's and doing something different than mutual funds.
Thank you for helping out. Brent

Q: Can you please explain 1) what the legal battle with Fox over FanDual is all about 2) How material it is to Flutter's overall future growth and what the upside and downside is of losing/winning the fight with Fox would be 3) if this is the reason for Flutter's recent weak performance does it mean the market believes they will lose this battle? 4) are you still as excited about Flutter's future as you once were?

Many Thanks
Scott

Q: Ric asked a question about selling a stock, for a loss, that he had only just purchased 15 days earlier. Jamie Golembek had a very interesting article in the FP this past weekend, where he states that it is not necessarily straightforward, particularly if you only sell part of the holding, and not 100% of it, when that that holding was only just purchased within the prior 30 days before its ultimate sale. Certainly worth the read, because the CRA has a formula that they apparently follow.

Q: Good morning,
I am down about 50% on XBC. While I like the space, I am thinking I will have to wait about a year to see if management can get the company back on track. Rather than sit back I have been thinking of selling XBC and putting the money into GRN. Do you think this would be a reasonable transaction?
