Investment Q&A

Q: Do US politicians have to declare any and all securities that they buy/sell? Or is it only required if they buy/sell over a certain dollar value (or % of a company)?

What about the rules for Canadian politicians?

Q: What is your opinion of this ETF? The performance history is really good beating the S&P and others over the last 10 years. They have had a couple of splits in the past and hold about 235 stocks in total. I looked at the top holdings and they are almost the same as the VOO /VFV. Would this be a good sub for the VFV or VOO? The price per unit is low

Q: Please recommend a couple of lower risk ETFs for the European market. Both in Canadian and US$.
thank you

Q: Hi Team,
TTD is plunging after earnings so far this afternoon. What's your take? Has the outlook here soured that quickly? Would you be a buyer, seller, or hold into this extreme weakness?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I have been contemplating selling my PKI shares and putting the proceeds into CNQ to boost my dividend income in a non-registered account. Two questions: First, do you think this is a good swap based on the fundamentals/growth prospects of each company? Second, given yesterday's news regarding Simpson Oil's legal victory, should I wait to see if the rally in PKI's share price continues? Current market cap of PKI is $6.5B, but apparently PKI turned down an offer to buy the company last summer which would have valued the company at $8B. If another offer comes forward from Simpson following this legal victory, I'm thinking there may be significant more upside in the share price (the 52-week high for PKI is around $48). Your thoughts on selling PKI now vs. waiting?
Much appreciated,
Brian

Q: I remember 20 years ago when I was in university, my brother and I would always say if only we had bought Apple last year because now it’s way too expensive. I have a feeling Shopify now may be a similar situation… That is why I have been accumulating at higher and still higher share prices…

Thank you 5i

Q: In your answers to question about tariffs on aluminum and steel you suggested that Canadian producers will get hurt as well as US customers who will face higher prices. Are there US suppliers who might benefit if they have excess capacity? Which companies might be in this category?
Thanks

Q: SHOP was all over the map yesterday. Started premarket at $US 123, then down to 109 after results released, then rose through afternoon and closed at 123 on HUGE volume. I see this morning on TD there have been 14 analysts weighing in this week with 9 buys and 5 holds. Can you parse through all this and provide what you feel is happening now and will happen going forward. There is no doubt SHOP is the real thing but how does this translate to stock performance?

Q: Hi 5i!

How would you rank these in terms of health & growth potential over the next 5 years.

Thanks in advance,
Greg.

Q: Any suggestions on how to "Trump-proof" one's portfolio?

Q: I used to have a position in Celsius, but I exited it a while back when market sentiment became negative on the company. It has been a falling knife for many months: do you see any point at which it might begin a recovery, or do you see this as a company that could ultimately become bankrupt?


I don’t normally make an investment habit of bottom feeding, but the level of the drop has intrigued me to a degree. I’d really appreciate your insight on this company. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: Can you explain atz’s secondary offering please

Q: After today's earnings call, I'm still down 28% overall on these guys. I don't need the $, happy to let it sit for the long run. My question is, am I better off investing that money somewhere else or do you foresee a future where I stand to benefit by sticking with them. If you do suggest moving on, provide a suggestion pls.

Q: What are your thoughts on this new spinout company. I voted against the deal. I'm long Canadian oil and gas but I'm down in my tfsa and it looks like we no longer get a dividend to wait.

Q: What are you expecting from CELH heading into earnings?
