Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have noticed a lot more verification when I log into online accounts of various services (bank, shopping, etc). I'm curious if there is a company that manages all these text/phone verifications for the big players, and if it's publicly traded.

I think I recently saw with my gmail that they will be double verifying early this month.

If there is a publicly traded entity that does this, what are your thoughts on them?

Q: Hello Ryan, Peter and 5i Team,

Wondering if I can get your opinion on what one might do with Docusign? Having held it through the boom and now the bust, I'm not so sure that it will generate enough investor interest to return to its former peak within a reasonable timeframe (unless there is an extended Covid Lockdown 2.0).

What likelihood exists that it may be bought out at a decent premium, perhaps by Adobe? If your team is now somewhat lukewarm on this stock, can you please suggest 2-3 replacements that currently show higher growth potential.

Thank you.

Brad

Q: Hi! I plan on doing something rash. Specifically, I plan on investing 95k (the entire amount of a self-directed pension plan which I can access in about 20 years), in WELL.

In terms of rashness, 0 being not rash at all (in fact quite level-headed) and 10 being extremely rash, and bordering on sublime folly, what would rate my proposed plan?

Q: Looking past the ECN special dividend, how would you compare ECN and FSZ for the longer term for safety of capital and dividends, and growth? Aside from the big six banks, are there other names that trade on Canadian markets in the broader financial services area that you might consider to be superior to these two for safety and growth? Please take whatever credits needed. Thanks.

Q: To my previous question on why some analysts are showing the third quarter EPS of DOCU as (-) 0.58$/share, your reply was beacause of different ways of calculating it- adjusted or non adjusted. Is the street expectation of EPS based on adjusted or non adjusted figures? Even then, I am a sure that values of EPS arrived through different accounting standards, would not be the same numerically. Here, it is + 0.58$ as reported by DOCU( including 5i) and negative 0.58$ reported by some analysts like Scotia . Please enlighten me if I have misunderstood something. Thanks.

Q: Is it better to invest in equal weighted index ETF rather then index ETF?

My concern is that high concentration of handful highly successful companies in regular index based ETF that defeats the safety of diversification offered by ETF.

What is your opinion?

Q: Do you recommend a level of international exposure in a TFSA even though there is a withholding tax? Would the best strategy be to overweight international exposure in the RRSP and underweight in TFSA.

Q: Top 3 favourite O&G to hold irrespective of portfolio mix. Canadian or US or international. Large, mid, or small cap. Doesn’t matter upstream, midstream, downstream. Just what 5i likes now and briefly why. Maybe an honourable mention if you have one.

Cheers!
