Investment Q&A

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

Q: You had been recommending QETH.UN for ether investment and you yesterday recommended ETHH.B. Is one preferable over the other? And if one wants to hold for a minimum of 5 years might it be worth selling QETH now and incurring a taxable gain to switch (gain of 70%) or just stick with QETH? Much obliged - Ken

Q: I know you have answered a lot of questions about Norbert's Gambit. I've read some of the answers but not been certain of exactly how to proceed. I searched for a description that would apply specifically to RBC and found this video (there is also a PDF).
https://www.pwlcapital.com/norberts-gambit-rbc-direct-investing/

It doesn't mention the need to call the brokerage’s customer service desk and ask them to journal the shares over to the U.S. dollar side of the account.

I haven't tried this yet. Would you add comments?

Thanks,

Q: Hello 5i team,
You mentioned in a previous response that you would not expect BEP to have the same high returns as in previous years. Can you briefly elaborate more on this?

Since BEP is in a dip, I wanted to purchase the US equivalent shares. Are you still comfortable with this company (you give it an A rating)?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hello,

What are your thoughts on Topicus earnings? Also, is it a buy here and now?
Lastly, assuming an exchange of 1.00 to 1:48, no prefs and the same results occur over 4 quarters, are the numbers below correct?

$179.6m euros rev x 4 qs x 1.48 exchange/ 39.41m s/o = 26.98 revenue per share
$90 Price per share / 26.98 rev per share = 3.34 price to sales

$20.7m euros earnings x 4 qs x 1.48 exchange/ 39.41m s/o = 3.11 earnings per share
$90 Price per share / 3.11 earnings per share = 28.9 p/e

$91.5m fcf x 4 qs x 1.48 exchange/ 39.41m s/o = 13.74 fcf per share
$90 Price per share / 13.74 fcf per share = 6.55 price to fcf
13.75 fcf per share/ 90 price per share = 15% fcf yield

Q: What are your thoughts on the Innovator Defined Outcome ETF's. Has there been enough history to determine if they do what they say they will do? I am specifically looking at PMAY which tracks gains in SPY up to a cap of 8.62% in a year and has a buffer for the first 15% of decline.
