Investment Q&A

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

Q: Im looking for a site (free if possible) which notes company's yearly and quarterly metrics such as ROE, ROA , revenue growth, eps etc going back 10 years or so. Morningstar used to have quite a nice table, under the heading KEY RATIOS, gong back 10 years on most stocks such as CSU outlining these metrics, but its gone from their site. It gave a great history of the company in a one page table.
Thanks

Thanks!

Q: Morning 5i team,
I bough URI back in May 2023 and have done quite well over a short period of time. It's close to it's all time high and although it might have some more upside potential, it may be limited.
I'm thinking of switching from URI to AMZN for a possible better return.
What are your thoughts on the switch or should I stay the course or would you suggest a different stock to switch to.
I currently hold AAPL, GOOG, MSFT and NVDA in that account.
Your thoughts and reasons for your suggestions are appreciated.

Have a great day.

Joe

Q: It seems the outlook for Uber is changing positively. Although I don't think it can be placed in the same rarefied space as GOOG, AMZN etc in the technology space, do you see it as getting to occupy the same space in the next 5 to 7 years (my time frame before drawing down).
Please briefly give your bull case and bear case for this tech co

Q: I am interested in placing an investment in the near future in a base metal producer; preferring a copper focus. I'd appreciate your take first, on the timing of such an investment given where we are in the economic cycle and second, your selection of a "top 3" to invest in. Thanks for the insights.

Q: I believe you have recently switched from Telus to BCE as favourite telco, however does the asset investment in TV concern you? With the numbers of people fleeing cablevision in favour of streaming will BCE be caught in a double whammy, losing on owning TV stations and on cablevision subscribers? Will this not impact revenue streams and potentially the dividend?
