Investment Q&A

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

Q: Dear 5i team.
Please explain the differences between these two etfs for O&G exposure. Do you lean more to one vs the other?

The 8 listed CO's you suggested earlier today as a possible DIY version, how would you rank them in terms of risk/reward assuming oil prices stay elevated or increases?
(CNQ SU WCP TVE TOU XOM PSX CVX)

Thanks for your help.

Q: I have a grandson who has just graduated from university in the United States. He is serious about investing and wants to know whether the best way to get started for long-term wealth accumulation is starting a high-yield savings account or an IRA?
Or, is there something else you would suggest.

Q: Greetings. It's been a while since a question was asked about Freshpet. Just off it's recent highs, positive reviews by several analysts, however still expected to lose money this year and next but with estimates trending up. Could you render your opinion, please, and provide attractive alternatives (if any exist) in this space. Thanks.

Q: Am doing due diligence on this ETF ( resulting from an earlier question today) , with the possibility of buying for my TFSA where I hold my more growth oriented stocks.
I notice the provider ( PACER ) also has CAFG described as having “ the highest cash free MARGIN “ while CALF has “ the highest cash free YIELD “, both with the SP small cap 600 index. What is the difference between these two ETF’S and do you prefer one over the other for a growth TFSA ? Also could you give some colour as to the SP small cap 600 ?
Thanks. Derek.

Q: Can you please give an update on COIN, especially in light of the new spot BTC etfs that are now available.

Coinbase charges 2.5% transaction fees, a business that will surely suffer now that there are ways to participate in BTC for 20 basis points. From what I rave read, COIN, as the custodian for several of these ETFs will be paid 5 basis points for AUM.

That’s 245 basis points lower than what they are make on their trading fees.

What is your outlook on this company? Is there any compelling reason to hold it? Please give your bull and bear case.

Thank you.

Q: Hello, I would like your opinion of HCRE versus ZRE and XRE. Avantages include the lower MER (0,33%) and no taxable distribution in a cash account, but it has a low trading volume. Thanks.

Q: In a recent answer, 5i suggested that CELH may be a multi-bagger “ IF, and only IF, it follows MNST’s pattern of market-share gains and profitability. “ Could you please describe MNST’s business model of market gains and profitability? To date, how close has CELH matched MNST’s playbook, accounting for time in the market? What are the key attributes that CELH needs to build/hone/display, in order to match MNST’s playbook?

Q: It finally seems possible that Canada could ship some LNG off the west coast of British Columbia this year. I would like to gain exposure to the LNG complex in Canada by investing in a basket of shippers, producers and exploration companies. Ideally the list would contain some strong dividend payers as well as some companies that focus on growth. What would you suggest?

Q: Hi,
On Jan 9th I asked the following question
Q: can you tell me 1) if there is any difference in XEF and ZDM in terms of tax efficiency and 2) which accounts are best to hold these ETFs in in terms of tax efficiency (please rank from best to worse) ?

You answered the first part but not the second part. 2) Could you please rank from best to worse in regard to tax efficiency, which account (e.g., RRSP, TFSA, nonregistered) is best to hold them.
Thanks
