Investment Q&A

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

Q: My question is related to the storage quantity of gold and silver at Sprott. As I buy and sell PHYS and PSLV on the TSX I assume I am selling to OR buying from another trader in the market. Where does Sprott obtain the funds to add to its holdings or are the physical holdings constant after funds from the IPO were invested in the metals? Am I trading around those initial physical holdings?

If I don’t hold the physical metal like having a gold wafer in a safe deposit box, do I really own it?

Q: Hi Guys
I purchased a 3% position in this London based Aerospace Company for its Dividend.
The debt is a little high, but it has decent cash flow, and Interest coverage, their future earnings don't look that great at around 10%, but their ROE looked decent. What do you think ?
thanks!

Q: Acquisition of HyGear and a $100 million bought deal announced...thoughts?

I see there is a bought deal offering and also a private placement. Does this mean some shares will be sold to the public and some will be bought privately? With the bought deal price of $5.80, do you think the share price drops this much?

Would you add, hold or sell on this news?

Q: Hi,
I am trying to look at the stocks I own , not merely as 'stocks" but rather as an investment in a good business. When I look at it that why, I am inclined not to sell indiscriminately irrespective if the stocks have gone up or not. Generally, if I do sell, I realize that I had made a terrible mistake in doing so, after the fact.
To my limited knowledge I do look to 5i for guidance.
Would you consider the stocks I have listed , to be those that represent "good businesses" and that are worth holding even 5 or 10 years out?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i, my question is regarding the purchase of IPF by GDNP.
Do you think it is likely that GDNP would use IPF to expand production of their own plant based products or are they just buying sales of existing IPF products. I see the huge potential of their plant based products and increased production capacity being needed.
Thank you for your help

Q: Hi 5i guys,
I came across the ETF EDGE from Evolve that is not in your database.
It looks intriguing as a vehicle (in CDN$) to invest in global innovative/disruptive companies. Am looking at it for a small portion of my TFSA.
Also noticed that Evolve is coming out with a new ETF in the near future called DATA.
Any information/opinion on EDGE and/or an alternative in the space is appreciated.
Thanks, Steve
