Investment Q&A

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

Q: Five years ago MFC was around $25 a share. Now shares are just under $23 a share. Not great!

Considering selling MFC and buying TSU thinking that TSU will outpace MFC in terms of future returns. Would you concur with this switch and if so, could you please provide some rationale for your views. Also would TSU be suitable for an income oriented account? Thanks.

Q: When you recommend good dividend paying stocks should we assume that these stocks regularly (i.e. annually) increase their dividends unless otherwise noted?

Q: Leaving other factors aside (eg taxes etc), within a well diversified portfolio would you be ok with selling CIX and TECK.b in favour of buying WCN and DOL? Basically I am asking if you think these latter two (at current valuations) might outperform the former in what I expect to be a somewhat moderate to deep recession? Thanks!

Q: Gold has been out of flavour during these inflationary times. Some say it’s because of Btc/Eth others say it’s because of rising rates etc.. there seems to be many conflicting factors. All of which are not clear. Can you give your take on gold and provide you 3 fave mid and small cap names. Thx.

Q: Often investors have different time frames and so called short medium and long term come a bit confusing depending on who you talk to. For speculators short term could be as short as a fraction of a day (day traders) for others long term investors are for 10 years and beyond. How about clarifying what for 5I is short, medium and long term (ballpark).

Thank you

Q: I read in the Globe and Mail that certain banks are blocking their advisers from buying the HISA ETFs, placing them on “restricted lists” usually reserved for risky, volatile investments.
I take it HISA is referring to Evolve High Interest Savings Account Ticker: HISA  and trades on NEO exchange. At this moment, I have a chunk of cash that I would like to park and earn interest but am uncertain when I will need it.....say 3 to 6 months timeframe.
What is your take on HISA? Or is there some other such account that you would suggest I investigate.
Bottom line, I could also use a GIC at the bank, right?! 
With the timeline being short, what would you suggest I lean towards?........Thanks.....Tom

Q: Hi 5i,

I understand that there are some well known Fear and Greed and Trend Indicators/Indexes available from CNN and Bloomberg. I was able to find the CNN Fear and Greed web site but, could not find the Bloomberg Fear and Greed and Trend Indicator. Is this available free to the public? If so, could kindly tell me where I can find it on the internet.

thanks

Q: Hi, How would you rate these companies for Utility/Renewable Power sector ? Northland Power has received a lot of attention recently from investors and analyst community and stock has made a good move. Do you rate this company as an attractive investment in this sector ? Will NPI be a good complement to add to an investment portfolio, with FTS and AQN already owned ? If so, what would be a decent entry level ? Thanks
