Investment Q&A

Q: I noticed you recently added AC to your portfolio.
Is there a chance that creditors will ask for a restructuring of capital structure?
Or the government if they start pumping money in AC?
Like a bankruptcy form,where shareholders will be left "holding the bag"?
How strong is AC financially at this moment?

Q: I have held on to BB for a few years. What will it take to get this stock to move significantly? Maybe time for a tax loss sale?

Q: Was considering buying CSU in the near-term, buy am wondering if it is better to wait until after the Tropicus spin-off? CSU will drop once that occurs correct? I would not expect to be buying enough shares to receive any Tropicus shares so seems like waiting may be best?

Q: Hi Team,

Do we know when DOC is set to report their Q, I think it may be today?

Q: Hi 5i Team - With the very big jump in The Score share price over the past couple of days. I am considering trimming my position. However before I do this could you please send me an update on its fundamentals. In particular what are its present revenue and earnings and how much of that, if any, comes from the gaming sector. How much increase in revenue/earnings might occur should the new legislation go through.

Also how long do you think it might take for this legislation to take effect, once it has passed. It is my understanding that each province will then need to make their own decision on whether to allow single sport gaming. Is this an accurate assessment?

Finally I'm not quite sure of what single sport gaming means. Could you please elaborate on this and what it means for The Score.

Thanks again for the excellent service that you provide!

Q: What are your thoughts on DHR? Do you have an alternate suggestion?

Q: Good morning 5i: I would like to have a small position in a US vaccine company. Both Moderna and Novavax had great run-ups these past few days. Should I wait for pull back or jump in? And which one would you prefer? Thanks so much.

Q: My income is much lower this year. I own 40 Costco shares with an ~$4500 gain. I’m wondering about selling them post dividend to solidify the capital gain. Do I then need to wait 30 days before re-purchasing? If you sell a stock and re-buy within 30 days, then you can’t claim the capital gain or loss? What is your opinion of this strategy?

Q: Hi team,
What do you think of this recently created ETF ?
It looks good to cover Covid-19 vaccines, but also other epidemics diseases after the present pandemic. Any better ideas ?

Gratefully,

Q: Any comments on TRIP? I'm sure highly speculative at this point, thought it does seem to have some (relatively) big named investors behind it. Is this just a lottery ticket that hinges on legalization (or not) down then road?

Q: Hello 5i team,
The Cannabis stocks are in favor lately and TGOD is the largest organic producer in Canada ( maybe in North America). Is it a good time to buy?
Thanks,

Q: Hi, looking to adjust my financial sector exposure, currently holding SLF, V, JPM, GSY, and BAM. I hold ZBK, JPM and GSY at a low weighting in my portfolio and could top up any of these right now. Thinking of selling ZBK and buying more JPM for US financial exposure. Currently don't own any Cdn banks, except through broad Cdn ETF. Should I add more to my JPM position or buy one of the Cdn banks (was thinking of TD) or add to GSY? I see you added to BNS, quickly, why do you favor BNS over TD? Looking for growth 10+ yrs. Thanks!

Q: What would your top 3 picks in Canada and the US be for the Consumer Defensive sector?

Q: Hi,
My kids are all about 30 years old and have most of their retirement investments in equities with some bonds, e.g. VGRO.
Given the poor expectations for bonds, is it reasonable to move to all equities?
If so, which ETFs would you recommended? I was thinking VEQT or XAW?
Thanks

Q: Good morning,
ABX has a big copper portion to its earnings, is it a good time to buy with copper at a seven year high? Q4 should surprise on the upside. Or is it still better to buy KL?
Thanks,
George
