Investment Q&A

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

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on Altagas. Had a good quarterly report today with beats on utility and midstream businesses, but fairly tepid analyst outlook. It pays a good dividend and I wonder if you feel there is some growth expected as well. Also, would you categorize as utility or energy?
Thanks for your advice, and thanks so much for your past recommendations from which I've benefited including WSP, GSY, TFII, AQN to name but a few.

Q: Apple just recorded a blowout quarter, over 50% growth. Looking at Apple's valuation, up to now, I felt it was overvalued given the low growth rate. Given that 5i typically recommends other tech stocks, perhaps you too shared this opinion. I was equally surprised by the market reaction, little share appreciation. So, was everyone expecting this? Why didn't I get the memo?

Thank you for everything you do.

Q: Hi 5i Team. Thanks as always. I'm looking to start some positions in the USD side of my TFSA over the course of the next month or so. I'm particularly interested in good growth opportunities in the following sectors: Technology, Healthcare, Industrials and Communications. Can you suggest a few US stocks within each of these sectors that are some of your best ideas right now? I am open to all types of suggestions, but already having a few larger caps (MFST, ABBV, LMT) I would prefer small or mid-cap suggestions where possible. Please take as many credits as necessary - thanks again.

Q: Hello,
Are you aware of another Canadian Tech focused ETF other than XIT? I have investigated and could not find any other then XIT which is somewhat surprising considering how hot Canadian tech seems now on all the new ETFs that continue to be introduced for sectors like finance, blockchain, bitcoin etc. I would like to invest in Canadian Tech without buying individual stocks and do not like the fact that 4 companies make up about 77% of XIT. Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Many thanks.

Q: We keep hearing chip shortages lately, and will imagine that "AMD', TSM', NVDA'....chip names will do well as a result of strong demand and price power etc. But most of these chip names are all well below their February highs. Could you help us understanding the share price and demand divergence observed? If we buy any of these names, will we be rewarded? If yes, which one or ones you like? Thanks
