Investment Q&A

Q: Any idea when A&W is going to confirm new dividend amounts? Are they supposed to be the same or similar?

Q: Are there any articles in your Bloomberg library or other sources that would be a good read featuring an unbiased { good luck } analysis of what the protectionist policies amount to be implemented in the USA may lead to ? I would love to know how this can possibly avoid spiking the rate of inflation.

Thank you

Q: I sold LMN on recent earnings/comments and the bump up in price. I was thinking of replacing it with TRI as a steady growth stock. What do you think? Any other ideas already own KXS, DSG, GOOG, AMZ, CSU, TOI. Also surprised TRI is classed in industrials. T Steve

Q: With the U.S. election behind us, and the increase in stock markets, what would you purchase today ? IWO or IWM ? Would you start a full position today ?

Q: Hi 5i
With reference to member S's questions on Nov 05....What is AC's current valuation?
Given 5i often talks about momentum in the market do you think AC can maintain current momentum?

Would 5I be more inclined to sell into the momentum..... and if you were hanging in what SP would you re-access that decision?
Is there some influence from US airlines potential bankruptcy, eg spirit airlines?


Not trying to pick top but looking to understand better the current push in share price.

thx

Q: I am needing to raise some cash and decided to trim my financials. I hold GSY (4.2%), V (5.6%), BNS (3.66%) , TD (3.65%), PRL(3.57%) and RY (2.51%) Total 23.19% My first thought is to eliminate BNS or TD. Alternatively I could eliminate both as I sense I am overweight financials with this basket. Given this mix which Bank would you lean towards eliminating, BNS or TD? Would you be comfortable letting them both go?

Q: I would like to find an etf in Canadian dollars unhedged, for the s&p 500, and any other unhedged etf you might suggest

Q: Hi Team,
If I want to do the responsible thing and trim my overweight NVDA holdings; what names would you recommend me going into with the funds? Preferable a name with decent valuation with a higher prospect of considerable gains over the next few years, not something that is fully valued. Or is it a time to invest in something like CASH and wait for a pullback in markets? I was thinking either ISRG, CLBT, or BKNG. However, your response regarding ISRG to Garth today caught me a bit by surprise. You seemed to have turned from buying ISRG to hold off for now on valuation. I suspect the same could be said for many names that have ran up recently.

If CLBT is an option can you also give a brief lowdown of the company. Is there any concern it being based in Israel? Is the opportunity for high growth probable with this company? I am not real familiar with the name other than knowing you have lately been recommending it. Also is it a huge overhang that the CEO is leaving at year end?

Thanks,
shane.

Q: Good morning 5i! What's up, or rather down, with Bombardier stock? Why the steady declined? Thank you and have a good day.

Q: I have done well the past few days with POU and CAE but the collapse in I 80 gold this week was gut wrenching. I have traded IAU this summer 4 or 5 times to get my adjusted cost down around $1.45. The new CEO, richard Young made me money when I went dumpster diving with Argounaut Gold early this year. I bought ARG, saw it collapse to almost half when I held my nose and went back into the dumpster and bought at 22 cents. In less than a month Mr. Young sold the key new asset of argonaut gold to alamos gold and I got out at 40 cents. So I got some nice smelling roses out of the dumpster. I think of I 80 as a similiar situation. But is that true since Argonaut was a producing while I 80 is a near producer since their current production is limited. But the market cap for I-80 is only about $200 million and the ev value is a bit higher due to some debt. that is reaaaaly low for got reserves of gold in a tier one juristricion that has lots of infrastructure in place. Mr. Young I believe is more of an accountant that a geologist and what I 80 needs right now is some more favorable financing. You are former sprott guys so you understand this stuff. What's your call on I 80? delisting in the USA stock exchange can be thwarted for a while ( maybe six months), right? can this type of asset garner some good financing in this market? Barrick and Newmount are nearby, would they buy these assets for a market cap of $300 to $400 million? Your thoughts?
On a side note can you direct me to a good site that explains the Lassonde curve?

Q: I am thinking of adding/increasing my position in an insurance company and have found that the combined ratio for both MFC and SLF are more than 100 while CB and TSU’s combined ratio is in the low 80. Does that mean MFC and SLF are not as profitable as CB and TSU? Which is a good buy currently? Thanks,

Q: I have decided to buy a large position in BCE
after x div date Dec 15th. Technically it shows no signs of recovery yet.
I belive its pays a higher divident and has as much upside potential as Aqn,Spb and Pgi.un which I will sell.
On the negative side, my fear is that companies like Att ,Vodaphone and Telephonica have been a loosing investment for 20 years.
What are your comments.
Thank you,
Joe
