Investment Q&A

Q: On MarketCall, regarding oil sands companies, Eric Nuttall top picked MEG and Athabasca, while having some negative comments about Cenovus, particularly the negative EBITDA they are generating from their refining business. Would you sell a position in CVE and buy ATH or MEG instead?

Q: Where to easily find receipt for membership fees for taxes please.

Q: I was told current rate(s) on TCSH.TO (TD Product) is 4.85 whilst Global X Cash is 4.03 annualized. Not certain how and why these can be considerably higher than many High Interest Savings accounts but would you consider them to be equally safe to comparable High Interest Saving Accounts for holding Cash?

Q: Do you you prefer one of these over the others? Would VEQT would be more efficient in an RSSP as it holds individual stocks rather than ETF's?

Q: I initiated a starter position in ISRG & IJR several months ago in the U.S. growth portion of my RIF. Currently down approximately 5% for each. Considering selling IJR (1% of total diverse portfolio) and putting funds into ISRG (2% of total portfolio) . Or trimming a bit of my NVDA (8% of total portfolio with great gains) and adding to ISRG and CRWD (1.5% of total portfolio and still with a small gain) . Have been hit with decision paralysis!
Your comments would be appreciated.

Q: Could you list Canadian dividend ETFs that pay out is in the middle of the month, or not at the beginning and the end of the month?

Thanks

Q: Please comment on earning. Thanks a million.

Q: historically the risk in holding US Gov't debt has been very low. Now it seems we are only 1 Truth Social Post away from the next crazy Policy experiment. I believeTrump questioned whether they really owe all the Debt and may have even questioned the need to pay it.

When holding US Gov't debt in the form of US T Bills or similar has my risk ticked up since Jan 26th and would you say US Gov't debt is still much safer than say a TD US GIC (Corporate Debt)? Are there short term cash proxies you would avoid in this market due to recent admin change?

Lastly does this never ending talk about the US Debt ceiling and possible Gov't shutdown create risks for holders of US financial instruments?

Q: What do you think of peytos latest earnings.

Q: If the northern states can get electricity from other US resources, how might that affect the stock price of Hydro One going forward?

Q: Hi there
Could you please suggest 4 fidelity corporate class funds to hold in a non registered account for someone who would like to use fidelity funds as a hand off approach for their portfolio.
Thank you

Q: Good day, 5i Team,

As always, thank you for your support, especially during times like this.

Are you able to share your team`s general consensus on where we are heading and what would be the major factors to keep an eye on to gauge the depth of the pullback?

More specifically:
1. If we are heading for recession, what industries/companies would be best positioned to recover first and "benefit" from the current situation?
2. On the scale from Covid to Great Depression, where would you place us speculatively as the result of Trumpconomics?

Respectfully,

Nick

Q: This companies sales are 46% in Canada and 54% in the US and it operates 16 manufacturing facilities. As far as I can tell, what it sells in Canada it produces in Canada and its sales in the US are produced in the US. In this regard I see little effect from the tariffs except for juice concentrates, and plastic resins which it imports from the US for its Canadian juices and plastic bottles. Are you able to confirm the accuracy of my thesis in this regard? It reports on March 19 and with the stock near 52 week highs I am trying to anticipate any negative surprises. Other than tariff issues is there something else I am missing which could produce a negative surprise with its sales/earnings? Do you see it as a buy, sell or hold?
Thank you.

Q: Can you break down why DSG missed this quarter. Is there something that will cause a change with the usual predictably?
Apart from DT that is.
Thank you

Q: Hi gang,
What would be your best pick from this 4-ETF. I would like to buy one . Or any other suggestions. How much do you like small caps? Do you think if interest come down small caps will move. ?
Thanks. Alnoor

Q: What do you like presently about Lulu and have they successfully managed the loss of their chief designer? Do you see future growth in North America or are things picking up overseas.

Q: At what levels would you be an aggressive buyer of the SP500?

Q: As EMA moves up I am wondering if I should book profits and look to an alternate choice in the sector. I had the same thought on my CPX shares when they were in the mid $60s and failed to act leaving me down significantly on those now. I would hate to repeat the error. Should I be more confident in the staying power of EMA is, I guess, the crux of the question.

Q: What is your current opinion on Spotify. Would you buy it here for growth, or is it too expensive?

Q: Your thoughts on the latest results from Alaris...thanks...Steve
