Investment Q&A

Q: Is AMAX ETF (Hamilton gold producer ETF) an effective way to invest in gold and is this a good time to invest in gold given forecast volatility of the Canadian index 2024?

Thank you 5i research

Q: Regarding Benoit’s question August 29, SPGI
And MSCI what would be good entry points thank you

Q: Thank you for your answers of Aug 26th where 5i recommended: XLK,XLY.XLV, XLU and XLI. Could you pls provide hedged CND etfs for each of these?

Q: I notice Payfare’s share price has been climbing a lot in the past 6 weeks. What do you think explains it? Thx.

Q: Can you please share your thoughts on OLPX, thanks. Also what is the story with Private Equity firm Advent International owning 75 percent of OLPX and still allowing OLPX to be publicly traded?

Q: My holding of Paypal is at about -40%. I’ve had it since 2020. At this point, would you recommend disposing it and add to other Fintech names ex: Google, MA, Meli?

Looking at the charts of PayPal vs MA vs Google vs Meli, I cannot help but regretting buying into PayPal. And it looks like PayPal is currently having nothing going for it.

Q: Crystal ball time! If you had to fathom a guess, what are your expectations for what the Cdn prime rate might be a year or so from now?

Q: Which one is a better buy ? The PE of PRL is so much higher than GSY. Thanks a million.

Q: Am I correct that it appears SMCI wants to delay, but not redo, its 10K Filing? It appears a 10K Filing is required by the SEC and is far more detailed than an annual report. A delay in filing suggests there is weakness in Senior Management which is a definite negative. I don't believe in coincidences so I think it likely the Hindenburg report, posted 1 day before SMCI announced the filing delay, have sniffed out something. According to SMCI there is a problem with "the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting". A pretty general statement if ever I saw one! If they have been evading sanctions that could spell serious trouble. SMCI has a reputation in Silicone Valley as a "sweat shop" according to my son-in-law who once worked for them. Anyways I'm lightening my long position on the up days as I just don't want to sell into panics. Any comments you might have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: Trying to consolidate utility positions in my RIF. Currently I own small positions in ZWU, H and XUT. Which one would you suggest keeping?

Thank you

Q: Can I get your view of UHS? I own some and am thinking of buying more.

Q: Results looked good, why the huge drop in share price?

Q: This is a follow up of the questions I asked about the Conservative ETFMU Portfolio.
Could you also provide me with the total average yield and the YTD Total Return for the Balanced and Growth Portfolios

Suggestions to improve current ETFMU Portfolio data presentation :
It would be very helpful if each of your ETF portfolio reports would always show the Total Average Yield for each of the 3 ETFMU portfolios. Also, it would be useful to have each Portfolios YTD Total Return % reported, not just the Vanguard Benchmark.
Including some data on actual historical performance results for each portfolio as well as an indication of turnover of holdings would also be useful.

Q: after the latest Q would you still hold it or move on to ATZ for better growth?

Q: Good morning,

Both BYD and TFII seem to be strong compounding industrial 'transportation' stocks that have stalled for awhile. I seem to recall that TFII is expecting a weak Q3/Q4 before beginning to ramp up again. I'd like to get into TFII but am not sure if it's worth waiting for a further drop in 2024.

Could you please give a quick comparison of the two stocks, including which one you think will grow more quickly in the near/long-term, including suggested entry prices?

Thank you!

Q: Could you review ESTC earnings and call? And if your feelings about the company remain strong.

Q: Morning, could you compare the earnings of these two companies and indicate your preference and why.

Thx, M

Q: How would you compare HHL and LIFE for income

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have held this stock for years and am under water. They keep promising better times. So I am following the classical route of " just trying to get my money back". All factors considered... give it another season or throw in the towel! Ha!Ha! Thanks your professional opinion is always sobering.
