Investment Q&A

Q: Why the big move in Alcanna this morning? Is this the start of something new here ?

Q: Would you consider Loblaws a wise choice to add to my growth porfolio? I notice they are in to far more than just selling groceries? I don't have much experience and that is why I subscribed. I would appreciate your insight or other recommendations in the same category. Thank you, John

Q: I was wondering if you have an opinion on the risk coming from possible political stability/volatility in the US. While I would guess your answer is status quo, it is hard to think of a more alarming political situation, and right now, increased susceptibility to a subsequent event, such as an outside threat.
Also, somewhat related: with the stimulus package now priced in, do you still think that there is a catalyst ahead for another leg up in the market? Is it any different from our current theses (environment, pot, tech, industrial, gaming etc)?

Q: Dear 5i,

I have a question about TRP.
If TRP were to walk away from the XL project what material impact will it have on the company? Is it significant and do you think it is a short term blip or will it hurt them long term?

thanks

Q: Hello 5i Could you comment on QMC as a company as to its future growth and prospects.

Q: I am in the process of developing a plan to consolidate my SDRSP portfolio by trimming some stocks and moving more into ETFs. I will keep a small growth portfolio within the SDRSP because I like doing it. Can you comment on the three Brookfield stocks that I have and if two had to go which would you suggest please.

Thanks as again.

Q: Late 2020, Quebec based Electric bus manufacturer Lion Electric went public through merging with US based SPAC Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp https://pages.thelionelectric.com/lev/

On Jan 12, 2021 NGA announced a large IPO. NGA has stated that it intends to focus on opportunities whose business model demonstrates clear commitments to sustainability and strong alignment with environmental, social, and governance principles.

It would seem that a blank check company formed for the purposes of M&A's, might view NFI as an attractive target, as it appears to be undervalued with a strong tailwinds & attractive governance coming from planned infrastructure spending across it's markets. There would also appear to be strong synergies between Lion and NFI's businesses.

While the above is highly speculative, does 5i view acquisition of NFI by NGA as making sense. Why or why not?

Thanks
Cory

Q: I am interested in investing in Health Care Robotics. I am looking at Stryker and Medtronic. I am leaning toward MDT due to lower entry point and higher dividend. Based on history and statistics which one would you favour? Could you suggest similar companies for consideration?
Thank You

Q: I am considering selling my PBH position and using the proceeds to add to ATD. I'm not concerned about the sector differences, particularly, and it looks like this could be a good time to add ATD, notwithstanding the uncertainties around the Carrefour offer. Is ATD in some ways like BAM, rather unique Canadian companies that can play skillfully on the biggest stages? What are your thoughts on such a switch, from one good company to another? Thanks, as always.

Q: These two companies appear regularly when you mention companies that are "cheap" with good growth prospects. Of the two, which is "cheaper" and which would you expect to have more stock price appreciation in the next 12-24 months?

Also, GSY is up 10% today - is that due to their sale of Paybright to Affirm? Seems overdone if so...

Q: Could you please give your perspective on gold vs silver vs Bitcoin. Could please also give a couple large, medium and small cap silver stocks that would be good growth investments if silver continues to break out.
