Investment Q&A

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

Q: Obviously you would not be very familiar with this company. I'm interested in your opinion on their prospects given the space they operate in. Trades in London.

Q: Re: member comments on Telus using Haweii. The most damaging thing any business can have is uncertainty especially when the rest of the Telco world is marching ahead on 5G rollout. My gut tells me Telus made this very public announcement to try and get the government to get off its hands and just make a decision one way or the other. Telcos in canada have been waiting months on the government's decision which has handcuffed them in moving the business forward.

Just my thoughts on this very public statement from Telus.

Q: I was very lucky to have purchased Disney the day before in jumped to $153.
unfortunately it has now returned to almost my purchase price of $138.
with the coronavirus affecting their parks in China and Hong Kong quite extensively, would you suggest selling and hoping to purchase later after the
medical disaster has been eradicated? or is there enough strength in the overall company to just wait and see what happens!

Q: I have been watching AYX, NVDA and ROKU for a while, but haven't bought any of them yet. If you were to buy them today, please rank 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the order that you would buy them.

According to RBC, ROKU has 118.1 M shares, and of that only 64.235 M are floating shares. The short interest is about 14% of the float. On Friday Feb 14th, the volume of shares traded was 63.1 M. That's 98.2% of the floating shares were traded. Can you help me understand what this information can tell you? On the surface every floating share was traded, but really some shares were traded multiple times throughout the day. When the volume of trading is this high compared to the float, what does this trading pattern indicate?

Q: Thanks for your reply to my Knight Therapeutics question. Can you be more specific about
two parts:
1) Do small shareholders in GBT have to sell?
2) The stock price is surprisingly weak - do you think medisen is selling now to fund their share re-purchase or can you speculate any reason why selling is going on now after waiting so long for a big, non-dilutive cash purchase? It is a big surprise to me.
That's it.
Thank you.

Q: Hello 5I staff,
I keep hearing rumblings that management want the the 2 class structure of these Power companies eliminated, but the Demaries won't give it up.
Do you have an opinion on whether this power struggle is going to hold back the Company in the future, like what is happening to Bombardier and should I be divesting out of these holdings (PWF, GWO, etc)?

Q: As a retired investor, I am keen on stocks with low betas, high dividends and some growth. AQN, NPI and BEP all meet these criteria and are all up significantly, riding on a crest of green sentiment. These three stocks now compromise 13.5% of my total portfolio. I am loathe to part with my green energy stocks as they are doing so well. That said, have I put too many eggs in one basket? At what percent should I cap my green energy investment? Other than higher interest rates, what could impact continued growth in this sector?

On a related note, I am now overweight in utilities, which now represent 21% of my total portfolio. This includes the three above-mentioned stocks, plus Fortis and BEP. Would you suggest reducing this weighting? And if so, which stock(s )would you be inclined to sell?

Thank you.
