Investment Q&A

Q: What do you think of WDO's gold reserves. My not-very-well researched impression is that they have some very high quality ore but not much of it.

Q: Hi, could you list your 5-6 favourite sectors today. Also just wondering, do you see any signs of a sector rotation anytime soon? Or is it too hard to predict? Just checking cause Technology seems to have had a long and positive run, while Oil&Gas seems to have lagged for quite some time? ( I could be mistaken).
It seems to me when a sector falls out of favour it sometimes takes a long time to recover?

Q: Anything specific with the strong decline of BN recently

Q: Would appreciate your thoughts on the recent results and outlooks. Thank you.

Q: Any stocks dropping that you feel represent a good buying opportunity? Perhaps something being sold that is an ‘overreaction’ or will look like a good buy in a year or so from now? Thanks

Q: Morning Peter and team,

Would you please recommend a number of ETFs for emerging markets.

Cheers,

Q: Could you speak to the issue of how Canadian investors should respond to proposed tariffs by the Trump administration before March 4th and after March 4th, assuming tariffs are implemented. Please give an example of the type of companies you would sell and buy? Thanks

Q: Hello,
I have a question about adding fixed income to a portfolio.
My registered portfolio is all equities, mostly large cap dividend payers and some growthier names thanks to 5i, reasonably well diversified, a little heavy on financials.
I am happy with the results and will be relying on it as my main source of retirement income in about 5 years.
I am thinking it is time to gradually add some fixed income, to decrease volatility somewhat and increase predictability, targeting a 70/30 equity/fixed income split over time.
Would like to keep it simple with ideally 2 ETFs, was thinking XBB or ZAG plus something else.
I see that the Canadian Money Saver portfolio uses XBB, CBO, CPD and XHY for fixed income.
What would you pair with XBB/ZAG in this scenario?
Is a US fixed income component a good idea?
What do you think of combining a passive bond universe ETF with an actively managed ETF/fund?

Thanks as always.

Q: How long do you expect them to last. Americans are upset, Also all the firings that are taking place, I understand PAY DOWN the HUGE US DEBT is a good idea Canada should start to pay down their debt as well,

These moves will cause Republicans to loose seats in 2 years time next Election. RAK

Q: I found a couple of stocks that I would like to put on my watch list. First is Sentinel One Inc. . It had a quarterly report not to long a go. The stock seemed to have a good report and the market seem to approve the quarterly report, but then sold off and has been going downward. Can you tell me what you know about this company, and the reason it went down in value.
Second stock is Five 9, it too seemed to have a good quarterly report and now is selling off. Again if you can elaborate on this company. With both of these stocks are they a buy, sell, to hold.
The other thing I should note, I was thinking of buying them for a trade not a long term hold.

Thank You very much for you good service, I'll await your reply.

Q: Hi 5i, and would welcome your review of the recent Quarterly results from Sprout Social, and whether you would consider it as a buy/ hold/ or sell. Do you see any red flags or concerns and the merits as a long-term hold and any competitive advantage that they may hold in the space they operate in? Thanks kindly.

Q: Hi 5i,
I am usually not one to panic when it comes to investing but the steep and sharp decline of the stock market this morning (Thank you Trump) has me very concerned. Is this a time to sell stocks with any gains left or just sit tight and ride it out.

Q: I hold the following High dividend players: CALL, DGS, GLCC, HDIV, HMAX, HPYT, QQCC and QQQY. Can you please rate these as safest and best for growth. I am down on HMAX, HPYT and QQQY. I hold so many as I am leery to place all dollars on one player. Or are there some I should sell.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

I’m wondering why, for all periods (3 month, 6 month, 1 year, YTD, 3 years, and 5 years) MNT beats both CGL and CGL.C even though the M.E.R. Of MNT is slightly higher than the other two. Is MNT a good way to get some gold exposure in these turbulent times? Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: As we begin to trim tech and add more defence, does the "Beating the TSX" strategy deserve some consideration ?
Do income guys really invest in BCE and lose 30% value in exchange for a 12% dividend ? ... that makes no sense.
TD , BNS but still no RY ( why ) ?
