Investment Q&A

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

Q: Despite the pullback in "green" energy stocks they still look expensive to me (AQN a possible exception). BLX and PIF have forward E/P over 50x according to the Globe.
Would you expect a better entry point, and if choosing an ETF do you have a preference between ZCLN and HCLN.

Q: It keeps making new 52 week highs, It is a moderate buy if analysts are to be believed. There is the play on recovery but it appears over valued. The dividend though paid for "77 consecutive quarters" has not grown since 2014. I was going to buy a small position a while back but was worried then about the shares deflating. Can you tell me why it is so favoured at this time? Thanks

Q: Hello,
In Portfolio analytics the following comment now appears since last update:

You hold over 10 funds.
The more diversified funds held, the more "market-like" a portfolio becomes and the chance exists for unnecessary fees to be charged.

Can you elaborate on what the intention of this message is? Should I look at holding less than 10 funds in order to make my portfolio more efficient?

Love this tool! Thanks for all your help.

Q: Hi 5iTeam - Would you consider Nuvei a buy today for a full position or is its price mostly factoring in future growth. The timeline is 3 to 5 years. Also could you provide an update on insider ownership and recent trading. Are there any fundamentals that you think should be noted. Also do you have any suggestions for a similar company with good growth prospects - one Canadian and one U.S. if possible. More if you think it applies. Thanks.

Q: You had been recommending QETH.UN for ether investment and you yesterday recommended ETHH.B. Is one preferable over the other? And if one wants to hold for a minimum of 5 years might it be worth selling QETH now and incurring a taxable gain to switch (gain of 70%) or just stick with QETH? Much obliged - Ken

Q: I know you have answered a lot of questions about Norbert's Gambit. I've read some of the answers but not been certain of exactly how to proceed. I searched for a description that would apply specifically to RBC and found this video (there is also a PDF).
https://www.pwlcapital.com/norberts-gambit-rbc-direct-investing/

It doesn't mention the need to call the brokerage’s customer service desk and ask them to journal the shares over to the U.S. dollar side of the account.

I haven't tried this yet. Would you add comments?

Thanks,
