Investment Q&A

Q: I would like to increase my Energy - Oil and Gas holdings and looking for an undervalued small cap. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
May I get your opinion on the CHP transaction to acquire $5.0B of First Capital REIT assets. Can you list some metrics that makes it attractive for CHP unit holders going forward?
Thank so much!

Q: Has anything changed since your last report on this company about a year ago?

Will capex taper off, and can they start whittling down debt? Is the current level a concern? Will they pursue more acquisitions?

If one's maximum waiting per stock is 5%, does about 2% seem comfortable for this one?

Q: I've only owned Enerflex a very short time, but it's already appreciated well. Could you please comment on your outlook of holding this 3-5 years. Also, do you see them increasing their dividend in the coming year?

Q: With offering at $93, what do we make with the price at $88.
Is this a negative?

Q: in my non reg account I seek growth and income over the next 3 years which do you prefer between between KEY and ALA and your reasons why thanks Richard

Q: Hello,

My portfolio is low in materials.
What would be your suggestions for individual stocks and/or an ETFs.
Long term hold
Thank you

Q: Can I get an updated view on FIX?

Q: What are your thoughts on Char Technologies? Too early to invest? What other small caps would you invest in instead for a 5-year hold?

Q: Long term holder of XIT. It is my proxy for the Tech sector. While using your "total return" charting, I am noticing a recent divergence when comparing XIT to QQQ. Over many different timeframes you could lay one chart over the other and they compared very very well.

Recently the XIT showed a decline, which I believe is due to the potential impact of AI on the software subsector. Lately there appears to be a bit of a software-related recovery. Please correct me if you believe there is another explanation.

If I am correct, this leads me to consider adding a Tech ETF that is heavier into AI. I'm looking at trimming some of XIT and adding a new ETF to my relatively concentrated portfolio of 20-ish ETFs and stocks.

The "AI" ETF I am considering is CIAI. Would you agree with my thought process and the ETF that I have selected?

If so, do you have a suggestion on the relative weighting between XIT vs CIAI? Both would be held in my TFSA. I know you can't comment on individual asset allocations....I'm just looking for ballpark numbers 50-50, 60-40 or 75-25-ish.

Thanks.....Steve

Q: What would be your top 3 pipelines for a combination of growth and dividend, 3 to 5 year hold.

Q: Have you tried using the LLMs to see how well they perform as AI Investment Advisors? If so, which one do you recommend? I find the various models a bit overwhelming to choose from. Would Perplexity be the best, because it seems to offer access to both Claude and Chat GPT for a slightly lower subscription price?

Q: Peter; In this am’s questions you mentioned FTQ- but I can’t find a quote on ? Can you clarify please. Thanks.

Q: Is GFL a fair buy at these prices given the investor sentiment? I take the acquisition as a positive

Q: Does the takeout offer look reasonable? Interesting to note the price sits below the offer. Do you think the deal will proceed?

Q: comments on the bought deal?

Q: While the recent umbers for TSM look great, I don't know how to weigh the risk of china taking taiwan. What would happen to TSM if China took Taiwan. Would TSM probably be nationalized? Would the stock price crater? Would it also severly hurt the stock price of chip companies like NVDA, since they depend on TSM

Q: What is your opinion?

Q: Just to build on Martin’s question about the grocers, there seems to be a new pet project amongst various levels of government to establish “gov’t grocery stores” (since the government has always proved to an efficient and low cost provider of, hmmm, nothing? I recall when the government established PetroCanada to give it a “window” into the oil sector, not only did prices not drop but PetroCan became known in the industry for leading the price up). Sorry for the editorial, but between executives from the grocers getting called up on the carpet in Ottawa and these latest rumblings, are regulatory/political headwinds getting significant enough to begin to impact investment in this part of the Consumer non-discretionary sector?

Q: The only energy exposure I have is through CDZ and VDY. I'd like to have more in order to balance the heavy financial exposure in those two. I could use XEG for that purpose or single companies. I'd like to keep it simple. I don't "need" a dividend, but it certainly wouldn't hurt. I'd be OK with just CNQ, SU, or CVE to keep it very simple. I don't think Hormuz is going to get sorted out anytime soon, so I'd like to capture the current opportunity of high and rising oil prices, but this would be a long term position. As a complement to the two ETFs I have, XEG is probably best, but you might see more opportunity in a single company, so as to increase the weighting in my current ETFs, which seem focused on dividends. Thank you for continued great recommendations. Love the service.
