Q: I hold both WPM and MMX in my RRSP, and WPM is up 75% recently which has pushed Basic Material weighting too high. I was considering trimming WPM and reinvesting into Industrials sector or Energy to help increase their weighting in portfolio.

Do you see continued strong upside on WPM ?
What would you recommend for Growth industrial or Energy companies at this time?

Q: Hi 5iR Team, When I look at PINK's mgmt team, rarely have I seen a more experienced group of staff assembled at a company as small as PINK.
https://ir.perimetermed.com/company-information/management-team

The team has a ton of expertise in every area they need to cover and University degrees and post graduate degrees giving them an unparalleled industry depth. It just doesn't seem possible to me you could pull a team together of this extremely high caliber if you didn't have an absolutely amazing product. I have bought a small position based solely on this mgmt team.
I have been an investor for a long time so I hope 5iR you're not sitting back and having a good chuckle about my naivety!!! And if you are then I'm glad I added some humour to your day.
Would/could this be a small cap company 5iR might want to take a look at for their clients? How far off base am I??
Cheers and Thanks. Chris

Q: Hello 5i,

Our portfolio has 1% in each of CAR.UN, IIP.UN, and KMP.UN. Of the three IIP has seen a major correction. Is there a specific reason for the weakness in IIP compared to the other two? Would you be adding to the above positions now or wait until tax season is over?

Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: I own trade desk, roku, magnite and google (thank you all for great advice) that all popped due to a strong return to advertising. This coincided with the election results and it made me wonder if some of the pop would be a result of massive ad spending from the Republicans and Democrats? If so, would the end of that $ flow affect earnings in following quarters or is it minor or non-existent in the recent advertisement boost to these companies? Thanks as always. Brian

Q: In a head-to-head comparison, which small-cap health care stock would you side with? Both have made good acquisitions this year and revenue growth will likely follow. DOC is bigger, but the market cap for VHI is approaching 100M which is a good milestone. Both are soon closing their recent public offerings, which will help with future growth/acquisitions.
Is either one on your radar for adding it to the 5i Growth Portfolio in 2021?

Q: Retired dividend-income investor. I see your Income Portfolio is sitting on 7% cash. Any plans to deploy soon or do you want to keep that cash for strategic reasons?

I'm sitting on 6% cash...just wondering whether to continue to deploy monthly on a steady state basis or hold?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Retired dividend-income investor. With the dust trying to settle on the USA election, where do you see the Canadian Energy sector sitting over the next year or two? I understand Renewables are taking off (I own AQN, FTS), but Renewables are very expensive right now and it is going to be a long way off before the oil industry is going to be extinct. My own feeling is we have at least a 20 year runway in front of us.

Having said that, TRP's Keystone XL is potentially in Biden's crosshairs. The research I have done is a) if KXL is constructed, then good for TRP, as it is apparently not priced in to its stock price; b) if KXL is flushed, then also good for TRP as the uncertainty is removed and TRP has plenty of other growth projects in the process of being approved/constructed; c) also if KXL is flushed, TRP would have so much free cash flow, that it would be a "cash cow".

The reason for my question is I have a almost full position in TRP and I view TRP as very cheap right now and was going to top it up. Your thoughts please?

Thanks...Steve
