Investment Q&A

Q: Finning has dropped a fair amount lately and down near 15% from where I purchased. I believe that the CEO announced a temporary leave for health reasons. Would you continue to hold FTT or is there another industrial sector client you'd suggest?

Q: Do you see AOS as a good long-term reopening play? are there companies in this sector that you prefer?

Thanks

Mike

Q: Hi 5i,
What is your opinion on Alimentation vs. Parkland? Over the last couple years I’ve held in the hopes it might turn out to be a ‘baby ATD.B’. Is this a case where an investor should pay up for the quality proven business?

Thank you!

Q: Would you prefer bj or cost. It seems bj stock is performing as well as cost but is far cheaper

Q: When I look at the long term chart for this ETF it seems since the pandemic began (and after that initial drop) that the the share price has been on a steeper upwards trajectory than it ever was historically? It also looks as if the volume has been a bit higher than before. Is there a simple explanation that is obvious to everyone but me? Is it a few of the top 10 underlying securities that are driving the whole behaviour, or has owning the ETF become that much more attractive in the face of single company risk since the pandemic began? I always appreciate your insight, thanks.

Q: Thoughts on CRM earnings and market's reaction?

Thanks Rick

Q: Hello,

The last question for SLQT dates back to August when it was trading just below $14. It's now trading around $9 and was recently near a 52-week low.

I believe you were favourably disposed to this company earlier this year.

I'm interested in hearing your current take on the company and whether it is now in your informed opinion more of a buy.

Thanks!

Marc.

Q: Your thoughts on this company, please. Seems to have a fair bit of insider buying.

Q: Hello. I missed results for Cubic which reported mid November. May I have your comments please? My questions seem to be identified as “private” which I do not intend. I check to ensure that the public box is checked???

Q: Have a capital loss on VLDR and am looking to sell for tax planning purposes. There has been a lot of negative news related to the Founder and Management direction for the company and that seemed to have put pressure on the stock as well as other factors. Lidar looks like a good long term technology to invest in, should I consider re-buying VLDR back after 30 days or can you suggest a better opportunity in the space. Your opinion on this is appreciated.

Q: 5i,

Q: I missed Peter Hodson’s talk at the Canadian money show. Do you have a link for a replay?

Q: I want to be better prepared for the next big market correction. I have been keeping ten per cent cash that can be deployed when I correction happens and I know where I want to add to positions and start a couple of new ones, for instance Microsoft. I have never shorted an individual stock but I might consider an ETF that shorts an index. Where should I start my learning? Most of our money is registered accounts which complicates shorting. I am not suggesting I want to do it now but if the market gets forthy next year and the federal banks start to raise interest rates to comabt inflation there is going to be carnage. Thanks for the good service. Glad you informed me about Constellation Software five or so years ago What I gem!!
