Investment Q&A

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

Q: I hold the listed equities/ ETF in my 14 year old grandson's RESP account. Given thee current environment what changes would you make in preparation for the next 4 years? I consider HFR is cash available.

Woule you consider adding some US listings for diversification? Given some current thinking regarding the US dollar would it be wiser to add Cdn listed ETFs of US companies? . What would be the tax implications of adding US listed companies that do not pay a dividend? Any paperwork?

Thanks very much. Take whatever credits are needed.

are there any stocks in the account that you would replace?,

Q: Here is a situation which is prevalent in many parts of my portfolio. for example, I have BNS at an average cost on ~$72. It closed yesterday at $64.50. If I go with 'timing the market' I should probably exit the stock. If I go with 'time in the market' I should continue to hold and collect the dividends.
Is there are 'rule' one can use and does that rule vary for large cap stocks like BNS or a small cap stock like PNE which I also own?

Q: Hello 5i team,

There is such a difference in Nuvei’s adjusted and unadjusted financial results. On an adjusted basis it looks like an incredible growth at a VERY price story. Unadjusted with stock compensation doesn’t look close to the same. What are your thoughts on the adjusted and unadjusted results for this story?

Also, do you have any concerns about the adjusted fcf yield that is used to buy back shares that are issued at part of comp and adjusted out, effectively making the story less profitable?

Thank you!

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Thanks to your consistent answers not only to my questions but to other subscribers, I have taken a position in RY, BN and TD. BNS may follow soon.

However having browsed through literally hundreds of questions on US Financial stocks, I don't see the same consistent answers. JPM seems to get your nod mostly. Even that doesn't get the nod with the fervor with which you endorse RY for example. In general you seem to be less enthusiastic about the US big banks.

What are the US banks that you would rank in the same order as you often do in Canadian banks? i.e. equivalent to RY/TD/BNS.

Thank you.

Q: Good morning,
Regarding the question asked by Jean on June 27 about charities and RRSPs I have been searching for general tax information at death on my RIF as well as specific information as it applies to beneficiaries and charities and have come up empty handed. I have tried the CRA by phone and website as well as my financial institution. I seem to be asking the wrong questions or want information that is kept in a black box.
Are you able to point me toward the source(s) of the information you use to answer Jean's question or must I look for a tax accountant.
Thank you for any assistance,
Brian

Q: Hi, I think I know all the positives for this company but based on the valuation would you buying right now? How does the current valuation stack up to it’s historical? Or those of their “peers”. I know a long term investor shouldn’t time things, and I hear that sage voice saying buy when others are fearful, it’s just hard for me to pull the trigger (I think I’m one of the fearful ones)

Thanks for your advice.

Q: The share price has been drifting down since early 2022 and is now just above a 2.5 year low. Sales growth has been ok but EPS has been drifting down. I bought it around $50 and am becoming impatient with it. Is there another stock in the same industry you would recommend as a substitute?
