Investment Q&A

Q: This seems to be a reasonably good way to play the major healthcare industry. I am not sure how the covered call aspect of this ETF would play in a rising market, i.e. is it the same as the tech industry, where a covered call aspect would act as a drag on the performance. Your thoughts please.

Thanks, David

Q: Hi 5i - I'm retired now and am wondering what your percentage recco would be for Stocks, ETF's, Index Funds and Bonds in the overall portfolio. Hope you can give me your insight! Thx!

Q: What would you consider the best two growth stocks to add to a TFSA at this juncture? Thanks.

Q: I am looking to build a portfolio of 5 or 6 stocks with a 3 year hold that covers different market sectors and could include Canadian and US stocks. What names should I consider?

Q: How would rate the above silver juniors in terms of growth in the next
few years?

Q: Hi,

I am looking to reduce my exposure to financials across my family's portfolio, from 23% to 13%. Sunlife (3.03%), Royal Bank (3.41%) and TD Bank (5.55%) comprise our most significant holdings, all of which we have held for many years. I am looking to reduce and reallocate one of those positions as part of the overall reduction. Which in your judgement would be the best candidate to let go?

Finally, and I apologize if this question has been asked and answered before: is there any drill-down facility planned in the 5i Portfolio Analysis features that would list all holdings in a particular asset class, geographic sector, and/or industry? Or does the facility exist and I am missing it? For example, it would be helpful to have the portfolio analytics tool to be able to list the holdings that it is including in its calculation of the portfolio “financials” weighting.

Thanks
Derek

Q: Can I please have your thoughts on Aurora? Many thanks.

Q: How do you feel about the prospects for the banking sector over the next 12-18 months? What stock would you buy in this sector at this point?

Q: which US company would be a good fairly safe buy now?

Q: Thanks for all the help with my investing. I have valued your info on companies as the only one I truly believe. I would like your thoughts on this part of our RIF's. I rely on the dividends for 3/4 of my yearly cash flow and the principle for the rest. I do not want to be out of the market so I keep 2 years of cash in our RIF's but would like to put 3 years and put 2 years of that into PSA-T getting the interest of 2 plus %. This would take the sting out of getting nothing for the cash. My question is does this make good sense. Thanks Gary

Q: What price do you think it would be a good entry-level? Thanks

Thank You, Peter

Q: Would you top up CSH, CGX and NWC now?

Q: Can you explain when I look at the profile on XTR and look at the charts the 1,3,5 and 20 year charts all show if you held this you would have lost money on share price.
Are the charts accurate? Are the dividends making up for the share price drop?

Thanks

Q: In your experience, please name a few analysts/brokerages whom you would consider fairly reliable in terms of stock recommendations, ratings, price targets, etc. in both Canada and the US.

Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i
Going fishing here ... You've provided a coverage drop list ... will we soon see a coverage update containing additions in the near future, perhaps in response to this email?

Curious,
