Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am considering selling DH now rather than wait for closing of the sale. I would like to replace it with 1 of the 3 mentioned. Which of these 3 would you suggest or do you have another good alternative. I am thinking that my replacement would likely make up for the amount lost by not waiting for the closing of the DH sale. It does not have to be a Dividend payer.
Thanks 5i for the great information and advise that you give. It has certainly been very helpful and profitable for me.

Q: Given the drop in ENGH on the Amazon news, I want to make sure I understand the relationship SHOP has to Amazon. I believe that SHOP provides software to businesses that utilize Amazon but that Amazon does not license, own or necessarily encourage people to use SHOP software. Is that correct? If so, would the risk to SHOP in this "relationship" be if Amazon decided to develop its own software (unlikely, I think) or if Amazon formally named another software partner that businesses would be better of using to deal with them?

Thanks.

Q: I would love to see a 5i indepth report on SHOPify to fully understand different aspects. This company seems to be growing great guns. It is now over 8% of my portfolio and I am tempted to let it run. My rationale being that this is a company which is doing e-business for thousands of other companies in different sectors. In that sense it is a well diversified entity in itself (or so I convince myself). What are your thoughts?

Q: Hi. Since joining your service I have slowly sold my mutual funds and built up the portfolio listed. I have an equal percentage of these listed except M at 16% AVO at 1.6% and SGY at .6 %. I have a mutual fund left at 6% that I would like to sell. For a balanced portfolio today what would you recommend I purchase? 3 - 5 year timeframe. Please deduct appropriate credits for the long question. Thanks.

Q: I currently receive an indexed pension which covers my living expenses and related costs. I also have an RRSP and other investments. My question is regarding my TFSA. Regardless of sector allocation what would your top 5 picks be today?
Also at what monetary value would you add additional holdings or would you just rebalance your winners? Example $$50,000 5 stocks, $100,000 8 stocks?
Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Q: Holy Insanity! Who are the crazy gamblers (not investors) buying SNAP Inc at a price/sales ratio of 71 times! A valuation like that makes companies like Shopify and Nvidia seem like a bargain! I don't see anything that resembles a "moat" with this company, especially since Facebook has duplicated all the cool features of Snapchat onto Instagram? Am I missing something here 5i, or is this going to be the easiest SHORT for the next 2 years?

Q: Hi guys,

My portfolio has slowly but finally become well diversified thanks to you and your service the past couple years. Now that I am at this state I am looking for a higher risk company to invest a small amount of money in. What stock do you see as having some huge growth potential albeit risky?

Thanks again

Q: How do you decide when a stock is over-priced? SHOP is trading at some dizzying heights and I am wondering how one decides when it may be fully valued. In the past, for example, you have noted that you have a hard time deciding if Amazon is a worthwhile investment or not due to its stock price.

Appreciate your insight.
