Investment Q&A

Q: This is a follow-up question to one I asked a few days ago regarding increasing Int’l exposure to my TFSA. Would the structure of the Global X Corporate class ETFs, eg. HXDM, HXS, HXEM, eliminate the drag of withholding taxes on the portfolio?

Q: Looking to park cash for 2 to 3 years in a low volatility etf with a decent distribution. I am looking at above mentioned etf and would appreciate your analysis or do you have other recommendations? Thanx.

Q: Hello 5i!

I have some cash to deploy and am light on industrials. I’m looking for US companies that are growth oriented and I was thinking about ROAD as an option. Could you give me a summary of why you like this company? (Or don’t like it?)

And are there any other industrials that you would prefer over ROAD for growth over the next 2-3 years?

Thanks for your incredible service!

Q: Now that we’re closer to world war 3 should we go to cash? How do markets react during times of world wars?

Q: 5i is alway saying that they prefer an unhedged stock over a hedged stock. If you want to buy a US unhedged stock, but you don’t have any US cash, is it better to buy the stock in US$ or Canadian $. Please make the assumption that you are going to hold the stock for a long time and you believe the Canadian $ will come back at some point. Thanks for your help.

Q: hi,
I own both BCE and T - both down a bit now. can I get your latest thoughts on these 2 as a buy, sell, or hold. all else being equal, do you see the purchase of assets in Pacific Northwest USA as good for growth, eventually. and what do you see as the risk for a dividend cut for BCE and Telus? finally, if selling, where would you suggest to look elsewhere for some growth ( slightly beating inflation ) and good dividend yield?
cheers, Chris

Q: Do you have an opinion on VMD OR QIPT-Q. I hold both.
Thanks,
Guy

Q: I'm up 24% on ABBV in my cash account - down almost 50% since Trump was elected. It is currently a half position. I also hold ISRG in the same cash account at a 1.75% position. Considering selling ABBV and investing proceeds in ISRG, increasing this holding to 4.25%. (My other health holding is CLBT at a 2.5% weight in my TFSA.) Given tax implications/risk, what would you do?

Q: Galaxy Announces Private Offering of $300 Million Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2029. Thoughts? Market doesn't seem to like it.

Q: At what price would you initiate a full position in the following? Thanks!

Q: Based on growth potential only, would you prefer HPS.A or PRL?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Your thoughts on earnings please. Would you buy this dip if you had a starter position already. Thank you.

Q: My top holdings right now are (these are all primarily in an open account, but small portion in registered)
MSFT @ 9.18% of the equity portfolio (up 487%)
AAPL @ 7.47% of the equity portfolio (up 496%)
BCE @ 4.89% of the equity portfolio (down 16.52%)
Thinking of selling some of MSFT to rebalance and possibly AAPL to rebalance and selling some BCE for tax loss to offset some of the gains.
In the present market does this seem like good options? What could be purchased instead? I do rely on the BCE dividend for some income and might want to replace this. Will also be looking to transfer cash and/or stocks to TFSA's in the new year.
Are there better options in my situation? (the rest of the equity portfolio is fairly balanced except an over amount in financials)
Thanks,
Steve

Q: Good Day,

POWL went basically up 100$ and down almost as much within a week or 2, what happened? Any significant news?

My personal experience with these types of moves has been mixed, sometimes I let them run, and sometimes "Something doesn't seem right/too good to be true". The exits have been on 'psychology' type stocks and have been pretty successful (TSLA, first buy on SMCI, etc). I know it comes down to position sizing, but are some general guidelines or metrics to look at that can help decide whether it's worth trimming your position or not?

Secondly, PLTR. I have read a lot of the comments on it, and see the value in where they have positioned themselves, but am also concerned about the valuation, and how only a small slowdown could significantly tank the share price.

With the addition to the SP500 being one of a list of its catalysts, are there other companies with solid fundamentals, market share, and or momentum that are on the shortlist/likely to be added to a major index in the coming year or 2? Could you provide 2 or 3 condidates for the TSX60, SP500, NASDAQ100 and any other significant ones that may be of interest.

Thanks!

James

Q: I’m wondering which type of account would be best for these ETFs. I assume they would not all be best in the same account. The choices of accounts would be personal taxable, RRSP, TFSA, and corporate.

Thanks.

Q: Hi guys,

I'm thinking about selling a full position in Gsy (up over 200%, thanks) and topping up Prl, Ifc and Eqb into full positions. Thoughts?
Take care
Jim

Q: Which would you suggest is the better to hold for the long term ZWB or ZWK? Or should I hold both?

Q: Which one do you prefer? Thanks

Q: When Peter was on Market Call this morning he got a question about Russel Metals. One part of the discussion was on the likelihood of Trump putting tariffs on steel. As that is one of Trump's pet peeves I'm guessing that a steel tariff is going to be near the top of his list ...... What would be 5i's favorite steel companies to play this theme ?

Q: Dou think this is agood entry point for Stella Jones? What is your opinion of the stock> Thanks
