Investment Q&A

Q: My daughter is starting her TFSA. I have suggested a couch potato strategy to start - can you recommend a good all in one ETF that rebalances and any suggestions for 1-2 buy and hold Canadian stocks if she wants to try that out too.

Q: I am a big fan of Anduril, their mission and their CEO. The company will probably IPO in 2026. I would like to become a shareholder, but not at any price. Perhaps it starts trading up big on the IPO. What strategies would you suggest to establish a position while protecting myself from overpaying.

Thanks

Q: With the Canadian government meetings in China -looking positive - do you see any specific companies that will opportunities in the EV space or any others?
Thanks.

Q: I am assuming CPX was down Friday on heavy volume in response to Trump’s initiative to impose a cap on residential price increases, and require tech companies to pay for their own power centers . There was a concurrent selloff in independent US listed power companies as well.
How much exposure to the US market does CPX have?

Q: I realize that shareholders of record on 15 January will receive the annual dividend of US$15.00 per share. That said, any reason for the stock to fall C$134.00 the following day? The Canadian dollar is weak but c'mon now.

Thanks as always.

Q: It's almost too good to be true. I have owned HMX for 2.5 months and have a 5.82% share price gain on top of the monthly paid12% (annual) dividend. I understand that the underlying sector - financials - has been on a hot roll. Let's assume that banks were suddenly flat. How would that impact the share price performance and their ability to sustain the lofty dividend? i.e. can this potentially be a long term hold or am I just riding a wave?

Secondly how do you feel about the two sister ETFs HDIV and UMAX?

Thank you

Q: I have a very large position in the 5 big Canadian Banks. How can I hedge my position in the event of a decline this year (and longer). Thanks.

Q: . This mining company stock has been going straight up. can I have your thoughts.

Q: Hi 5i. My son owns some Shop and Nike in his small RRSP account. What would you recommend as 1 or 2 stocks to add, and 1 ETF to add. This is for the long term as he is 32. Thx

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

Please share if you think this will be of help to other members (and not unintentionally hurt them), I thought that I would share what price levels I’m watching the CSU family at for a reaction. But at the end of the day it’s just a guess:

Lumine - It sold off the hardest initially, so it may recover first. There was a strong reaction as soon as the price action dropped just below $23. Someone likes that price and immediately bought enough to stop and reverse the sell off. Therefore, if the price action drops below $23 again I am going to watch and see what happens. What I would like to see is price go slightly lower than before and then bounce back up quickly like before, and maybe even start a bit of a rally.

Topicus - There was a strong reaction when price dropped just below $109 on Thursday that looks similar to Lumine’s $23 level on the chart, so I’m watching to see if the price action consolidates around the level that it is now. There’s also a gap fill at $104 that I’m also keeping an eye on.

CSU - I’m watching to see what the price action does if it gets down to the $2,700 (or even the $2,500) level and if there is a reaction around there.


A sell off this dramatic is like trying to stop a freight train, the same way the market sells off at the end of a bull run. It will take time, but as long as the fundamentals of the company justify it then institutional buyers will step back in at a price level that they like the potential risk/reward of and provide support for a bottom where they will start accumulating. When I see that, I will look at adding to my position. (Take a look at the chart for BCE if you’d like to see an example of this.)

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Q: What happens to the market canadian and us it trump replaces Powel with one of his studges.

Q: Hello Team,

I don't currently own any of the noted stocks, can you rank them in order in which you would purchase today based on a 2-3 year return. Thanks.

Q: What is the best way for a Canadian to invest in Rolls Royce. What is the best symbol to use.

Q: Hello
Wondering which of these two will have the greatest growth over the next 3-5 years?
Balance sheets look good for both with increasing revenues. I wonder given the optical industry is highly competitive will it stagnate Kits future growth more so then the robotics and battery supply industry.
Will the reduction in China tariffs help in the battery supply opportunities?
Would they be better in a registered account over a non registered?

Thank you
Jeff

Q: These continue to be beat down with crushing depreciation in Market Cap. Would you step into any one of these right now or any other names CDN or US that appear to be a screaming buy long term. If so,, what order would that be.

Q: I have large positions in most of Mag7, as well as VOO. For a 20 year time horizon, should I keep putting money into VOO or start a position in RSP for less concentration risk.

Q: Do you think we are close to the bottom for Constellation, Topicus and Lumine?

Q: Good morning,

Is the recent significantly negative momentum with Intuit a sign that it's time to move on? If changing course, would you endorse a move to LAM Research or Ouster?

Thank you!

Brad

Q: I currently have a position in BCE and I am down significantly.

Your thoughts on if I should add more to BCE or choose another telecom.

Q: Sold my full position in RY in open div account in Nov to ink some nice gains over several years.

Of course, this timing was perfect to miss the nice Dec bump. Out at 213, now around 235.

I also have BNS in this account of 10 or so holdings and was planning to get right back in to RY after the 30 day period. Now have sellers remorse. What to do?

Thanks

Jim
