Investment Q&A

Q: I am looking for the top 2 Canadian dividend ETFs to hold mostly in registered accounts. I screened for MERs less than about 0.4 and current yields of about 4.5% or more and came up with: ZDV, XEI and VDY. How would you rank these for long-term holdings; best first. XEI is tied for the lowest MER and has the highest yield, with 29% energy, 29% financial and 17% utilities. VDY has the largest AUM at $2B but high financials at 54% and low utilities at 6%. Finally, I would like to invest in HXH in unregistered accounts but I am concerned about the low daily trading an small AUM at $92M. Thank you!!

Q: Hi 5i team. Can I have your thoughts on this company as an investment. Recently it's gotten a few upgrades in its target price.
Thanks Ken

Q: Hello,
I have ATZ at a loss in my TFSA, so no benefit from the loss if I sell. In this situation and with a 5 year+ timeline, would you see ATZ as a hold, or are there other growth stocks you would have more confidence in? Thanks.

Q: You have been strongly touting Aritzia for many many months.It is a a huge mess …especially after last nights report.I and many others are down approximately 50%.Do you think we should still keep this name?

Q: MF came out with a list of AI today, and they are all up today, presumably on the news. Is there a concern that this is turning into a bubble? I know there will be spending here, but is it getting away into the danger-zone? I am considering an etf that captures a wide swath of AI. Are you able to suggest something? Thanks!

Q: 5I team: Being a retired income investor and stuck on the nice yield for this fund I can still not be keen on it's substantial return of capital. Can you advise on a better alternative etf or fund for hands off solid yield as a replacement? Tks. Larry

Q: For NET.UN:CA / Canadian Net REIT:

Thinking of re-entering this position. Seems like the distribution is well covered. Is the price in a good spot to get into given interest rates are elevated and perhaps increasing more in the near future?

Q: Your current thoughts on DKNG please and do you still prefer Flutter as a play on the sector?

Thx

Q: All three stocks have been setting higher highs and higher lows since mid April. Have you heard any news on why these three stocks are having a positive uptrend recently? All three have crossed the 50 and 200 day moving averages. Clayton

Q: I need assistance deciding which of these stocks I should put in a regular acct and which should be in a TFSA in other words, can you tell me if DIR.UN has a much higher taxable capital gains (and therefore should be ideally in a TFSA)?

Thanks

Q: VSOL they build SOLAR TOWERS Takes 1/6 the land space. Withstands Rain Ice, Snow Wind. Ideal for Industrial Sites and Small Suburbs . How many homes can it service ? What do you think. Buy a bit now ?They have one Tower in BC and one in Florida THE FUTURE ?? RAK

Q: Good morning 5i
In an answer to an earlier question on bn you mentioned that 5i holds less than 4 per cent of this stock in the balanced portfolio. I found this a bit surprising, given your generally favourable attitude towards BN. I know there are numerous variables involved in choosing a stock for a portfolio. But I was just curious as to your reasoning

Second question has to do with LMN, which you are also favourable towards. I know that you cannot make individual portfolio decisions but i would appreciate your general opinion. I have received less than one percent of this stock from the split off and have been thinking about selling it or adding to it. The question comes down to whether it is an appropriate stock for a retired person, albeit one who can afford to and does take moderate risk, to hold. Although it is small and new, i am encouraged by its association with csu.
Thanks for your great service

Q: Can you give us your perspective both on the shop and the Roku side of this deal who benefits from what and which one do you prefer?

Thanks,

Sheldon

Q: How do you view the Microsoft news ? Is PANW still a good buy ? Thank you.

Q: I'm going to set up a TFSA for my daughter she has 41K in available room,for a 5 year duration with the hopes of cashing it in for a down payment on a house.My strategy is to put 10K in 4 funds by setting them up as DRIPs not worried about price appreciation(although that would be great)looking to get 6-10 % on dividends,would like to stay primarily Canadian could you comment on the 3 ETFs i am considering and also could you recommend 3 different options of ETFs that could work ....Thank you for your great service

Q: Hi Peter, what do you see happening on July 24th when the Nasdaq re- balances? Do you think that some of the top stocks would see a bit of a sell-off as ETFs and institution investors rebalance as well? Which companies would you put new money in? Thanks in advance.

Q: no one really talks about cineplex. is it risky at this point with what I would assume is a lot of debt and the operating efficiency post-pandemic is different? Do you see this as a takeover target if they can some how restructure their debt by doing so?

Q: Good morning, it looks like ATZ will be having a rough day after their most recent earnings report. Do you think it will be a good time to buy after the damage is over and the stock settles down thanks?
