Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning, why is there a big difference in the 10 year returns of these ETF's
Thanks, Peter

Q: Good evening!
Looking to add to my portfolio, and these are all high dividend payers. Could you rank them with regard to safety (primarily preservation of capital with low chance of potential problems on any visible horizon), and then also rank them from best grower to worst grower? Please take credits you think are fair.
Thanks! Paul K

Q: Wondering about your thoughts on this ETF???.....might think about buying it for hedge against tRUMP tariffs......thanks....tom

Q: Many stocks are at or close to all time highs, particularly these. Do you see any of these having strong forward momentum from here? Could you give me entry prices for these 6 stocks please. Across all sectors, is there any other Companies you see as having stronger for upward momentum from todays prices? Thanks!

Q: I have a small amount in this fund: PGF510:CA and with my reinvested drip my funds have gone up 6-7% a year on average. I'm thinking of adding a more substantial amount. Could you look at this fund for me and tell me what you think re: MER (is paying the higher fees worth it?), performance, what the stocks fair value price is, risk vs reward, forward looking etc. With the thought interest rates could soften, but then possibly go back up in the longer term, what is a good entry point? And how much risk does an investor take on going with smaller investment firms? Thanks so much.

Q: I know you like both of these. But if you were adding to one, which one would it be and why? Thx

Q: Good afternoon 5i team,
What are your views of MDI's latest results? Investors took it positively with the stock up 13.50% on the day.Looking forward to the next 12 to 18 months the company gave a very positive outlook on it's clients signing large deals for it's services.Do you still view the shares as undervalued and would you recommend accumulating?
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: I am thinking of taking a small position possibly in one of these two small cap stocks .Would you have a preference and maybe an entry price? Thanks again for the great advice that you provide.

Q: If a person was to trim US or Canada where would you go,

Q: How would you rate KSI, Enterprise group and Hammond Power systems. I currently hold all 3 but considering amalgamating into 2 positions.
Thank you

Q: Hi,

I have a Lump sum and I have close to an equal 25/25/25/25% split for these etfs/company. because i am in my low 40s i want to make sure i get my growth somewhat better in my younger years. Do you think this would be acceptable or should i be leaning more towards a xeqt/vfv split?

Q: Can you please explain why or why not it is important to have bond funds in one's portfolio. I have been reluctant to buy as during COVID market crash my bond funds, did very poorly at a time when I thought they would provide stability. Since my fixed income was supposed to be the worry-free part of my portfolio I have not reentered bond funds and choose GICs for fixed portion. The same happened with preferred shares years ago. Why would one not just buy a bond where your principle is guaranteed if you hold until maturity? Are these bond funds doing what they are supposed to do and what are the benefits of a bond fund as opposed to just buying the bonds outright? Is money earned still taxed as interest in a a bond fund? For someone with no bond fund exposure what would you suggest?

Q: Olympia is currently on a run (no complaints); any idea why ? Do you think its justified ? Thank you.

Q: Could you please give your view of RUP.TO both current and long term.

Q: Everyone, if you could suggest a book(s) or magazine or blog to a 20’s person about investing what would it be? Clayton

Q: Genius act being passed in the USA for stablecoins. Will this effect other, Crypto etc
Does 5I have any suggestion for stocks or wait & see. will it also effect payment type stocks. Tks 5i

Q: Ross Healy, who typically does not make sensational statements lightly, spooked me yesterday during a podcast interview with Amber Kanwar. He sees tech stocks dropping 60% which will invariably pull other types of stocks down for the ride. He suggests moving to gold... could you suggest a couple gold stocks with strong balance sheets? A mix of large, mid and small caps would be great. Thanks!

Q: Please differenciate the tickers for DeFi Technologies and maybe add DEFT.Q inthe data base.

Please explain any discrepancies in prices, if any.

Thank you very much

Q: I hold positions in all of these companies and I have some money to put into the market. Could you rate these in terms of which positions you would add to given the potential for total rate of returns given their current stock price, business model tailwinds, risk vs reward etc.

Conversely, if you would rate these as a hold then feel free to mention that as well. Thx.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have small positions in the following three gaming sector companies: Genius Sports, Sportradar, Flutter Entertainment. Am wondering if I need to have all three of these companies and if I should consolidate into two of them. If so, which two of the three would you keep. Is there a significant difference between the three - maybe consolidation is not necessary.
As an afterthought, is Fan Duel likely to become publicly traded.
Thanks.
