Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Team,
My stock portfolio has dropped a gut wrenching 12% just this week alone, and 27% since august. All while the index's are near highs. I am aware most my stock holdings are aggressive tech names, but I am confident they are all best in breed names. I hold many of 5i US tech name favorites as well as some cnd. Its's a bloodbath like I haven't seen since the initial sell off when covid hit. At that time, I remember 5i came out with a very good "near bottom" report advising subscribers the end may be "near". As I recall it was very close! Thank you for that! What I am asking now is...will you issue such a report when the time comes as to when to potentially add to high growth tech names that have been crushed on no merritt of their own? Or can you say now if that time is near? And what stocks, either US or Cnd would you be adding to for 5yr plus holds that have the potential to make an exceptional recovery? I know this is a crystal ball question but your track record is good in my eyes! Thanks for your service. Look forward to some "calming" advice.

Q: Hi!

I read something about Canadian CDRs on the NEO exchange. Anything to worry about? Transactional friction etc....

Q: I have been watching KraneShares Global Carbon ETF for a while now as an interesting investment with no correlation to the general market. It seems to do nothing but go up regardless of markets. I have been waiting for even a slight pullback that never seems to materialize and if I buy in at this point I feel like I would simply be chasing the hot money. Do you view this ETF appropriate for a long term hold or is it more for trading? How closely does it track the actual cost of carbon credits and does this correlation decay over time? Can it trade at a large premium or discount to the underlying moves in the cost of credits? I would really like a better understanding of this fund. Your thought and advice. Thanks.

Q: I was going to sell 2 energy stocks . I am underweight in industrials, materials consumer discretionary and consumer staples.
Could you recommend your top two Canadian companies in each sector for growth.
On the other hand would it be just as well or would you favour Canadian ETF for each sector and could you list your favorite for each sector?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: What is your favorite Canadian utility right now? Looking to add a name to my cash account. I already own BAM and AQN.

Thanks!!

Q: Is the 30 day ruling on tax loss selling based on calendar days or business days and is it based on date of sale or settlement date.

Q: Which one is / are your favorite (s) to add at this time and please explain briefly why. Long term investment. Thanks!

Q: Good morning,
I have noticed that my holdings in the above shares have declined to about the issue price of $25 in the last couple of weeks. I understand that BIP.PR.D is due to reset in January 2022 and ALA.PR.K in February. The price movement suggests to me that the companies plan to recall these shares but I haven't found any statements that they intend do so. It would make sense if they did as they will otherwise have to continue to pay a 5% dividend for the next five years. Do you have any information on this? I'm thinking that if I can buy more shares at $25 or less I will get one dividend and then a return of my $25 or I will continue to get 5% on those shares for the next 5 years.

Q: Square is dropping fast, is there a major reason?

Q: A 60 % move on one contract announcement! For the stubborn investor like me that held on, is this the catalyst for a turn around? Thoughts please moving forward.

Q: Hi Team,
On your response to M Atal today, I am concern by
"The main issue is the tax deferral set up". ?
Horizons has already had to change its structure to adapt to new tax regulations. Horizon clients knows that, I had HXT & HXCN before the change structure. The change structure was made smoothly.
Can you develop "The main Issue" ? Do you mean Horizon will not be able to maintain the TRI structure in future ?
I like TRI structure for deferred gains.
Thanks
Best Regards

Q: do you like this company. insiders own 21% not very liquid but an analyst upgraded it with a 162. price target-sounds ridiculous, but its selling at 5 times sales compared to kinaxis 10 times sales-same business saas.
sounds like this should be in the growth portfolio.

Q: Hi Team,
Docusign is dropping like a lead balloon after hours on earnings. Please comment on earnings and the outlook for the company going forward, and should a guy sell tomorrow? Or buy into the weakness? Or just hold? Thanks

Q: I guess that a company’s name becoming a verb just isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. I’m really kicking my wounds on this one.

Q: Am I correct when I look at FM's latest Q, note #8, released Sept 30, 2021 that the company has made no progress reducing their debt? Thankfully I don't own the stock...I much prefer to take a beating on AEM!

Q: What sequence would you add for largest overall return for 2 years and least risk for AND, ANRG, DCBO, LCFS, NBLY, STLC

Q: hello 5i:
At present, we have no preferred shares in our portfolio and I'd like to add some. In a September question directed to you, you said:

"We are very comfortable with the credit of Fortis for income investors. We would rank: I, M, J, H, K, G, F"
Can you explain why the series I is ranked first? I'm looking at both the series I and the series M as there is a fairly large difference in yields. Is there a higher yielding company, utility-like, that provides a yield of 4-5% that would be considered very safe (almost bond-like; obviously looking for yield)
thanks

Q: Do you think now is a good time for substantial stock price increase for DOC.CA

Q: Hi there, I've held FFH for a number of years in my unregistered account. I'm down 6%. This morning TD notified me of a corporate action which I don't understand. Can you explain what it means? I'm a growth oriented investor anyway and wonder if I should just sell and move on.( I already own the big 6 banks plus IFC and SLF.)

Thanks,
Andrea
