Do you have any source of information that will tell you approximately what percentage of investors use each of the main options as I see them , ie DIY, Banks, Mutual fund co's , and Full Service brokerage houses? I am including the Lifeco's under Mutual fund co's.

If not, what is your estimate?

Q: Hi 5i another question for the experts at 5i. I am interested in your take on KEC and why it is trading at such a low pe? Fundamentals seem to be good and it has positive analyst reports. What am I missing?

Q: Please provide an analysis of their latest quarter. In your recent article on companies with FCF yield greater than 5%, you included STLC. Is this a company that you would invest in? How would you assess their potential for 2023 and 2024?

Q: Morning, could I have your favored Canadian ETFS that focus on Europe. Criteria: safety of capital with some growth. Thanks for your service.

Q: How would you rank these three companies from an overall return stand point considering their market caps? What is expected in growth in balance of 2023 and 2024? How did they do in their last quarterly report? Would you recommend purchasing them at their current price?

Q: I am looking to transfer money from my sons RESP into a TFSA. He is working a lot with ample overtime and likely won't require the money to cover tuition etc..

Thanks again.

Q: I believe shares of BNRE are still exchangeable into shares of BN after their re-org, I know you are positive on the prospects of BN.
BNRE is starting as a smaller player in their industry but looks to aggressively grow.
By buying BNRE , at minimum , would you not get the same potential returns as BN but have potential for higher upside if their insurance business grow successfully.

Thank you

Q: Emerging markets are getting some attention lately for reasonable valuations.
India is being mentioned as a strong growth country. Many experts suggest US large corps as a better way to invest rather than the corps of the emerging markets .
What are your thoughts and ideas for investment to take advantage of emerging markets as far as actual emerging market etf or etf of large cap US based major exporters/worldwide etf. ?

With bond rates moving higher can you suggest your top 3 bond etf's to gain exposure at a low cost. Would holding these in a registered or cash account be best? As always thank you for your time

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I'm looking to sell the following 12 stocks in my cash account to crystallize some losses in anticipation of better buying opportunities in the fall: BNTX, CAE, CHTR, CIEN, CJT, CTS, DIS, FNF, GNRC, HAS, TEAM, and YETI.

For each of these stocks, could you please indicate: HOLD; SELL; or SELL + RE-BUY (with suggested proxy).

Feel free to deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: i know you prefer in a tax shelterd account but how would the distrbution be taxed in a cash account

Q: Hi, Telco stocks have been weak for past few months , with new 52 weeks lows. perhaps due to pressure from increased competition ( Rogers/Shaw) and rising interest rates. Many analysts have also revised their price targets lower, in anticipation of weak results and soft outlook, at least in the near term.

My question is more specific to Telus, which was hit hard today, due to lower guidance announced by TIXT. Although, TIXT accounts for only 10% of Telus revenues/earnings, but it appears to be a continuous drag for the parent co. I know, 5i hold TIXT in its portfolio and has been supporting to own the stock, despite its downward trajectory for a long time. Telus now faces not just industry challenge from its peers, but also additional impact with negative and uncertain outlook for TIXT.

In light of this, if we wish to own only one Telco, would it be safer and

Q: YOU HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF BN. SHOULD I SELL BAM AND CONSOLIDATE BN.

Q: Hi 5 i Team - I hold some PBH but am considering switching to QSR since it appears to have more opportunities for stock growth, at least in the next couple of years. Do you have a preference between the two at this point based on fundamentals, management and overall outlook. Thanks.

Q: would ZFM and/or IEI bond etf be a good addition to balanced portfolio as substitute or addition to broad based bond etf ?

Q: I am down significantly on these ETF's, down 17% with distribution included on ZPR with it representing 3.6% of my portfolio and down 7% on ZLI or 0.8% with distribution with ZLI representing 3.1% of the portfolio. These were added prior to the rising interest rate environment with the desire for income. Given the unit price have declined so significantly on ZPR (24%), would it be a good move to average down on this ETF in this interest rate sensitive environment? At least the ZPR is mainly held outside registered accounts so the significant capital loss could be used to offset other gains if I was to sell? What would you do with these funds at this point? Hold, Sell, Average down or...?
