Investment Q&A

Q: Can you give me your thoughts on their earnings report and future outlook? Thanks

Q: BMO has a series of ETFs called "BMO SPDR Select Sector Index ETFs". These invest in various sectors of the US market but are domiciled in Canada and trade in $CDN. Therefore no direct currency conversion costs, no US tax exposure. Available in currency-hedged and unhedged versions. Please discuss the overall strategy and logic behind this approach. Are the MERS charged by BMO reasonable for the perceived advantages? Seems to me that intelligent use of these products could eliminate the need for a Canadian investor to maintain a separate $US brokerage account (except perhaps to trade International equities/funds). Additional thoughts/comments about these products would be welcome.

Thank you,
IslandJohn

Q: Bought a small position in Sept. (1000 shs) @ $63.00 per share. Only O&G stock I own based on LNG and ample supply of N.G.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I am NOT in a Panic mode....yet! Having been a long term subscriber, I KNOW "Time IN the market" is more important than "Timing the market"!
Also know that "pull backs" are NOT Crashes!
I have your favourites in Gold, FNV/AEM/WPM/AGI. ARIS in the Mid tier. Added Silver with Ag/PAAS/CDE. (Down now!) I was going to add your recent pick SVM. But before I could pull the trigger the sudden drop in Gold/Silver happened.

With this in mind, where do you see the new floor for Gold and Silver? 3600/40 respectively? Should one add or wait or sell?
Thanks as always.

Q: Hi, I own the companies mentioned above. Companies on unregistered account have been beaten down, what order would you sell them in or should some be held?

Thank you

Q: Could you give me three Canadian and three US
ETFs for international exposure.

Q: I had a small position in Intel which doubled in very short time.
It seemed like a falling knife when we bought in but now there are supportive indicators.

What is your opinion on it ?
Would you add more on further weaknesses if you held a partial position or sell and run ?

Q: Is Remitly Global a well run company considering what they have done in the last few years?

Q: Good afternoon;

I am trying to understand first, is the Formula 1 business segment of Liberty an attractive investment and second, if the answer is yet how best to invest in it - there are a number of stock possibilities.

Liberty has a number of arms and businesses; one being F1. The F1 brand is starting to strike me as one Peter Lynch may pay attention to. While I do not watch it much I am bumping into more and more people who have turned to it. Televised events appear to be more frequent and stands seem to be full. It is the pinnacle of racing and a magnet for big money and racing tech.

I would appreciate your assessment of the F1 brand, its fit within Liberty, risks/opportunities, if you consider it a worthy investment and how best to invest.

As always, thanks.

Q: Hello 5i
Would you be a buyer of POWL after its big run up from June? What is the outlook?
Thank you

Q: Based on the trading of CSU over the last week or so it seems when there is weakness in AI stocks or commentary in the press about an AI bubble, CSU trades up. When AI stocks are strong like today CSU trades down, sometimes sharply. Owning CSU seems to be a way to hedge against an AI bubble being pricked. Of course if the bubble is a delusion then owning CSU may prove painful. It seems also there are market jitters going into CSU’s quarter and volume was up on today’s decline.

Q: Hi 5i!

Can you comment SFM earnings? What do you think of its long term perspective and of the recent drop since june?

Thank you

Q: I’d like your thoughts on Chipotle after their recent quarterly results. Comparable-store sales have now been flat or slightly negative for the past few quarters, mainly due to weaker traffic, even though the company continues to open a large number of new restaurants each year and expand internationally. At what price would you start to be interested in this company or you would avoid it simply ?

Q: Hi Team,
Meta took a 15B one time non cash tax hit as a result of trumps “big beautiful bill”. What does this really mean non cash? Why aren’t other companies reporting the same type of hit? Aren’t all companies under the same tax rules? This news seems to be scewing strong operational results and causing a big share price drop. Looks like a buying opportunity to me. Do you agree?

Q: Bought small position in Feb. of this year (500 shs) @ $131.00. What are your thoughts on this company long-term?

Q: Can you give me your latest thoughts on these 7 stocks along with good entry points c/w rating (out of 10) and also in what order to buy



Thanks for your great service

Q: Understandably Real Estate cos. are not prominent in the minds of investors these days and in Canada they are under alot of pressure but am wondering if CAR.UN is a screaming BUY for one who is willing to wait through a couple more years of AI craze?

It shows CAR.UN book Value at $56.00 per share whilst price today is $39.00. Am already a holder of Minto which i earlier saw Book Value of $29.00 but yr site shows a P/B value of 1.06 so not sure about that number.

These companies may carry alot of debt but wondering yr thoughts on the opportunity here on these reits and the relative risks of each as a 3 year investment?

Q: I am thinking of selling my bonds for an an international (ex-North-America) ETF that is fairly non-volatile (defensive, consumer cyclical, industrial).

I heard this as a strategy in the Canadian Financial Summit and it made sense because the bonds I've held for stability offer less in returns and in stability than the diversification does.

I'd like to hear your opinion on this strategy. Can you also recommend 4-5 ETFs that would play well into this strategy.

Thanks as always.

Q: All the Constellation Software and related Co's had a really bad day in the markets, Wednesday, with stocks trading at new near term lows, ( Down 6-10%, in a single session ), breaking below their recent support levels.

Not sure, if some of this selling could be assigned to algorithm trading ( stop loss orders) ?

You have been a huge supporter of the stocks, and for good reasons, through the recent selling ( AI concerns and M Leonard departure related ), even highlighting CSU, as one of your Best trading ideas,

Based on your comments and most analyst ratings, these concerns are overblown and stocks should recover, in due course, as, apparently, nothing has fundamentally changed and business is as usual. However, market seems to think otherwise and price action has just been horrible.

While some investors are probably selling not to lose their built in profits over years, there could be others harvesting tax losses.

Interestingly, it is noted that these stocks generally have a bad day when AI related Companies are enjoying a nice bump, like Today ( Wednesday). And AI related boom is likely to continue to drive the markets, at least in the foreseeable future.

We are in the camp of concerned investors, with significant embedded gains in these companies, as early investors, and are worried, if we should liquidate our positions, at least partially ( half or 1/3rd ), to protect our gains. What are your thoughts ?

It looks like that a string of catalysts is needed to infuse life back into the three stocks ( specially CSU ). What could these be, in your opinion and how long would you recommend for investors to be patient ?

Thank You
