Investment Q&A

Q: Hi team,

These 4 companies in the field of AI are apparently considered undervalued by Bank of America.

Do you think they are a good buy now for a growth portfolio ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Patience is wearing thin on some of these names, they just continue to have negative momentum and I don't want to sell into the negativity and sell just because others are selling. What are your thoughts? Are fundamentals still strong in these quality companies? Is your updated view still a hold on these? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i, Can I have your opinion on "Scandium Canada Ltd" , is this true: Scandium is now officially a Critical Mineral in Canada Government-backed equity-like royalty.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I am not sure if you had a chance to look at the article in this morning's Globe and Mail on top 10 Canadian Gold stocks at reasonable valuation. (Wednesday Jan 28th).
I was surprised to see your favorites like ARIS missing. Also no WDO.
What is your take on this list.
(I am happy customer/owner of ARIS:))
Should I add BTO and TXG for a good measure?

Q: you recently referenced an article on ca.investing.com which i quite liked.
Is that news source one of your favorites?
They seem to have a nice blend of Canadian and US articles...

Q: I normally use DLR to convert currency between CAD and USD. Can you suggest a dual listed stock that might be a better replacement. (price not likely to change, no dividend, good liquidity etc.)

Q: What’s up with Dollarama—down 10% in past month. Good time to add?

Q: I hold my smallest positions in tvk and axon, both have lost positive momentum ,any reason why? Is now a good time to add
Thanks

Q: Hello 5iR.
What is your opinion of this company for a possible buy?
Thank you. Cheers

Q: Re your question from WIB today.

You suggested these names as great small caps for growth.

Cudos to you but YTD ENS is +22% and +80% 1 year. KRMN is +54% YTD and VOYG is +30% YTD.

This is extraordinary performance congrats. Given these outsized short term gains what would your purchase strategy be today if you do not own them. Buy at market, wait for a pull back, average in etc etc?

Please advise.


With thanks

Q: Interesting to hear about AMRQ. Apparently they now own the Black Angel mine which I last heard of some time in the 1970’s. I had asked my father about it then and it’s 7% divided. He replied the mine must be struggling and the high dividend was being used to keep investors interested. Shortly thereafter the mine closed down. I also recall the mine used gondolas to transport the ore from the mine site to the dock. Sounds expensive! AMRQ has been publicly listed since January 20, 2026, not quite a week and already has a 1B capitalization. Is Mr. Sprott a shareholder? Mining procedures can change in 50 years and possibly the costs to extract the ore can lessen and the mine be made profitable. Modern survey methods may also have discovered new metal targets. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. I think the Black Angel ore body is just one aspect of the company’s targets.

Q: My son ( Mech. Eng.) Has held STX for quite a while and others in the tech. sector. He is telling me to buy this stock.
What do you think?
STX: follow-up to my question on STX - they seem to have a lot of debt; buy very high ROE which tells me they are making a fair bit of money. Comment please.

Q: Solaris has been doing quite well recently.Any news to account for this positive activity?Thanks.

Q: I own both BRK.b and V in my RSP and TFSA and see their relative strength both peaked at last year's market bottom along with the safety trade in general. Do you feel the markets are more risk-on these days to the point where I should let V go for something more "aggressive" in the financial space while keeping the diversity of BRK.b? Thanks!

Q: How would you rank? Are there better alterntives for the ETF payments space?

Q: If you could only own 1? BTW, my portfolio was up 51% last year, 5i staff deserve a huge tx, not only with the stock picks but portfolio managment skills I've learned, Cant thank you enough!

Q: Is this stock a buy at this level ?

Q: Can I please have your feedback on APH vs ANET.

What would you prefer and why for buying today with long term hold?

APH seems to be safer and more diversified (bonus points for unique decentralized management approach) whereas ANET is a bit more growthy but comes with higher concentration risk. Both have similar market caps and P/E and have minimal to no dividends so easy comparison there.

Appreciate your thoughts...

Q: TRI has fallen almost 50% from its high in July/ August 2025. What should we make of this and what are your expectations for this stock moving forward? Thank you,
Maria

Q: Any thoughts on METC’s value as a source of short Put income or as a potential medium to long-term hold?
