Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Team,

Can I please have your comments on UNH's recent earnings. Also is it now a buy, sell or hold and your rationales?
Thanks
Harry

Q: The dividends alone on these companies are becoming quite alluring. What are the risks of a cut? Or a drop in the share price from where we are today looking out about 5-10 years? From the dividend alone, one could nearly double their investment in that time frame. I don't normally chase yields, but it's hard not to when both of these companies are trading around the same levels as they were in 2016 (or earlier).

What should happen to these companies share prices if/when interest rates get cut in June?

Please deduct as many credits as necessary.

Q: Hi guys
I'm curious to know how Jeldwen is doing right now. ?Are you able to tell how busy they are or are not? Is business increasing or decreasing compared to during the pandemic? With the new help announced today.. coming for new homes to help with affordable housing do you think this will make a big increase in sales for JW?
MUCH THANKS

Q: Hello,

I'm investing some savings of my mother she doesn't need before many years but we avoid higher risk stocks, she is 75 years.

Actually, she owns BN, GSY, TFII.

Looking to add 1 or 2 stocks to this list. I have been looking to your porfolios and considering ATD, PBH, DOL, PBH, SHOP. CDR could be a nice opportunity with VISA for exemple.

How would you rank them for potential return on 3 to 5 years? Do you see better opportunities?

Thanks,

Q: Hello Folks:

Recently we purchased a position ($210) in BA feeling it had good upside....now $165.00
Our other option at the time was GE
Did we make the wrong decision?
How do you consider upside of each of these 2 companies; would you feel we should take a BA loss to invest in GE.
In the past we have been long term investors of each of these two companies.
Perhaps neither has much up-side.
Thank you so much

Q: Momentum is very strong here and price hitting new highs. Would a secondary issue make sense here and do they require much capital for growth plans? Would it make sense to pay down debt?

Q: Hi Peter, It will be nice to get your detail opinion on today upcoming budget from investors point of view via a blog. Just a suggestion.

Q: 2024 budget re capital gains tax increase, does this also apply to stock dividends.

Q: I am really impressed with your comments on Bitcoin, that was comprehensive and informative. You have correctly described about extreme volatility that is involved in this type of investment and the great opportunities that wait for those with strong hearts and minds.
Keep up the good work.

Q: I am retired and comfortable with the mix of stocks I have but with the increase in chatter about bitcoin I wonder if I am missing something. I have looked at bitcoin as a pyramid scheme and avoided it. Can you comment on its value and if you think is has any, maybe suggest some options to buy into this new commodity.

Q: I have held Envista for some time, as I am familiar with its suite of products; many of which are considered among best-in-class in dentistry. The share price has declined substantially in the last twelve months. I would like to know if the underlying business has substantially deteriorated, or if there are signs that the company can right itself within the next twelve to twenty-four months. As always, I appreciate any insight you have to offer. Thanks so much, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Q: On Dec 12 '23 you printed a list of 10 potentially improving stocks. With good luck I pulled CCL out of the list and it has done well. Which of that list do you still see as having good potential ?? Thanks Jim

Q: Recently sold a rental house and am looking for investment in low risk but monthly payment in a non registered account. I’m not comfortable with bonds and so far have come up with either laddered GICs ( paid out every 6 months) or combination of PFL, XFR, and ZMMK. Do you have any thoughts on any of this. Which would have a the best tax rate implications? And would you have any other suggestions that would work best in the current reduced rate environment we are heading in the next few years.
Thanks

Q: I need to raise some cash. Can you rank these investments from your favorite to least favorite currently please and thanks

Q: Hello,

GEQT vs XEQT vs VEQT vs FEQT, which one is the better buy in the all in one all equity ETFs category and why?

The sector allocations of WSRI and WSRD are quite different than the typical ETFs, with top 3 sectors being consumers goods, healthcare, consumers services. Do you think these sectors will provide some good returns compare to high technology focus ETFs?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Q: Hello
I m wondering if your team has thought about a AI filtering / Help options for your Questions tab ? IMO I m noticing near 50% of the asked questions have been previously answered MANY TIMES OVER. This would allow other 5i members to save times not having to read the mulit requests on the same information.

This feature would most importantly allow the 5i moderator to focus on other NEW Questions, strategize on more / improved technical features (PA) for the platform or infact start to create member reports for the USA positions the moderators in fact hold and endorse.
This issue has really bothered me that many CDN TSX microcap positions have reports and endorsements (even on the 5i X acct) to buy while the 5iii moderatior doesnt in fact own them IE no skin in the game. FWIW many have very poor returns or get dropped from your T.A radar !

Just my thoughts as longtime PA Member
