Investment Q&A

Q: Hi folks. Thank you for all your expertise. I have SNOW and would like to either add CRWD OR PANW but was wondering if they are similar to SNOW. Can you please advise if it's worth one or just stick with SNOW. Thanks Dan

Q: I'm trying to get control of the major components of the Brookfield Corporation and what percentage of the company they make up. I understand that BEPC AND BIP.UN are parts of the group and that they seen to be adding to its success. My question is what percentage of the company do they make up and what other major segments of the company exist and what percentage of Brookfield do they comprise? I currently own some shares. Do you think now is a good time to add to a reasonable position?

Q: Your thoughts on UBS Group.
Thanks again

Q: What do you think of the update today, are they just trying to stop the bleeding.

Q: Please comment on this stock specifically on entry price and ability to pay dividend.

Q: Hi,

What's your opinion on owning BAM.A and then also holding some of its subsidiaries? If one holds BAM.A, should that prevent us from holding the others? Or can we use BAM.A as a core holding and then trade the subsidiaries?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi 5i team,
I am looking to increase my 'energy'/utility sector by adding two of the following ETF's ICLN, LIT, TAN, or FAN. I do not own any traditional energy stock/ETFs. Concurrently, I would like to increase my US and international exposure. I currently own the following relevant stock/ETFs.
Utility: BEP, AQN
US: VGG, ZSP, XQQ, IWO
International: XEF, VE, ZEM
Which two ETFs would you recommend based on long term growth expectations and geographical diversification of portfolio?

Thank you.

Q: For Form T1135 purposes, are these 2 companies considered Canadian not US?
Thank you.

Q: Good Afternoon 5i Team,
Can you please rank these gold companies from best to worse based on forecasted growth in the next 2-3 years and please briefly explain why.
Thanks!

Q: I was wondering if a managed portfolio account with one of the "wealth management" departments at a large Canadian bank (RBC, BMO etc.) is charged transactional fees for securities buys and sells in addition to the quarterly % fee?
In other words, if a stock is purchased in such an account is there a "hidden fee" added to the ACB (adjusted cost base) for the transaction?
I've noticed that on the monthly statements the "unit price" for purchasing a Canadian equity usually has 3 decimal points for the unit cost. That leads me to believe that they are including a fee in the unit price which distorts the unit cost. Am I wrong?

Q: Hi Peter,
What can investors expect from TCS when they report Q2 results on Dec 3rd?

Thanks

Q: Hello.
This question may cause some issues or even an uproar amongst some of your members but we live in a free society and I am entitled to question what I feel like and air my views and opinions as I see fit.
China, for most part has been a bully to Canada including other counties like Australia and India. In my view , we should be moving away from Chinese companies, not working with them. I for example sold my position in SHOP purely because of their alliance with a Chinese company.
Many of these companies have bad work ethic not to mention stealing of information. How can we trust them?
Why would a Canadian company like SHOP do something like this when our relationship with China has never been worse. We should be boycotting them until they clean up their act.

Thanks

Q: In a follow up to a previously asked question on REAL by Gilles, what can we expect when it reports, $46 Million in revenue. Are you sure? Their last quarter came in at $118 Million according to Morningstar.

Q: Are you familiar with this company and its transaction with Golden Nugget Online Gaming? Would this be a good buy or a speculative buy?

Q: good evening, my portfolio analytics suggest that I invest more in industrials and consumer discretionary. I have holdings in Magna and Nutrien and can add to them both as well as find other dividend paying Canadian companies in these two sectors. I am a long term investor. Can you suggest candidates please.

thanks, as always

Is it timely to buy or you have better choices,say REAL TCS Txs for u usual great services & views.

Q: First I have to say thank you! My RRIF and TFSA are certainly healthier due to info gained from 5i over the past couple of years.
My questions pertain to my Rif where I have recently inherited 2 mutual funds; Dynamic 1560 Strategic Yield Fund and Dynamic 031 Global Dividend Fund (mers 2.15-2.23%). The remainder of the Rif is comprised of Canadian stocks; old TSX 60 stalwarts and/or stocks from your income or balanced portfolios. The Dynamic funds each account for approximately 20% of the total Rif and around 13% of total investments.
Questions
1. Are there better ETFs/Funds you would suggest for exposure to US and global markets?
2. What is a reasonable weight for an individual ETF/fund within a portfolio?
3. What is a reasonable percent of one's portfolio to allocate to US markets? and to global markets?
TIA
(Good to see Peter on BNN yesterday.)

Q: I am looking at these two companies (one or both) for my TFSA which I use for my more aggressive investments. I believe the sport gambling and the e-gaming sectors offer explosive growth but there of course will be winners and losers. They both have big name backers.
Your opinion ( financial strength, management, etc. )of these two would be appreciated. Do you like either or both? Any other favourite Canadian alternatives ? Thanks
Derek

Q: Would you consider DIV a solid play as we progress through vaccine talks for a recovery?
