Investment Q&A

Q: Loop Energy IPO. What do you think of Loop Energy? Would you be a buyer and if so at what price?

For IPO how do retail investors participate in them? Is there anyway retail investors can get their hands on hot IPOs?

Q: Follow up to your question to Walter. If we hold QBTC would you recommend swapping it for BTCC?

Why?

Q: How do you determine / select which company to write a report on? Currently you have reports on a range of companies from little known micro/small caps to large cap blue chips, with large gaps in between. Some of these small caps may be interesting investments by why exclude the many other companies that re commonly invested in?
I believe it would be valuable to at least have reports on the TSX60 constituents or the top 100 by mkt cap. Better yet, why not report on all the companies listed on the TSX? It would make your service more valuable.

Related to the above, why would you select NR companies for your model portfolios? What's the reasoning for including NR companies in portfolios?

Q: What are your toughts about cggz.un / taig? Is it an opportunity at this time?

What is your point of view for DOO? Is it a risk or a potential acquisition?

Thank you!

Q: I would appreciate your views on ProStar Holdings. The technology is certainly interesting and the CEO thinks that they may become "The Google Earth of the Underground." Already having a contract with the state of Colorado, it's hard not to think that their technology could easily be applied everywhere so their future should be bright.

Thanks as always.

Q: Hi group assuming a positive outlook for commodities. how would you play the sector do you think the sector will do well moving fwd Thanks for you help

Q: Hello 5i,
Are you able to break down by sector (to the extent this is possible) the holdings of each Berkshire and Bam? Brk.b is listed as finance and Bam as real estate, but I don’t think this tells the whole story.
Would a 10% position in each of these (20% total) be too much for average risk investor?
Tia!

Q: ECDP Can I have your thoughts on this US stock? Thank you.

Q: Greetings:
Stelco is down $ 2.59 today, apparently because there were rumours
that they were going to do a secondary offering. Management denies
this. McCreath thinks steel has a long runway now, even though this
company has been broke more times than air canada. Your opinion
is what counts to me. I have been following it for some years now,
but always too cautious to buy. Frank Mersch recommended it some
years back.
Thanks,
BEN.

Q: Any reason for the recent slide from the all time High. Recent article in G&M state that Taiga Motors is a competitor & expect to go public in April through SPAC led by CF & NA. Your thoughts. Thanks for u usual great services & advices

Q: Xebec has been going down. Is this an opportunity to step in for a new position? And if already held, keep holding?

Q: Hello,

I just started subscribing to your service in October which began my journey in to the stock market. While I get started I have decided to mimic your growth portfolio and spread out $25k over those stocks. I tried to follow the weighting of the portfolio at the time. I now have an additional $15k to invest in my TFSA and was hoping you could suggest the following:

1. Which 10 stocks in the growth portfolio should I add to right now? I don’t want to split my buy too finely across all stocks in the portfolio. My strategies are consistent with the overall goals of the portfolio.

2. Thinking of the same strategies in the growth portfolio, what are 3 US stocks that I should newly acquire?

3. What are two stocks that I could acquire for a short term 2-3 month hold?

Thanks very much. Have really enjoyed your service.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! It has been reported that the UK is designing a few model homes which use hydrogen for heating and powering appliances . Are there any notable companies in North America that are working on Hydrogen as an energy alternative that maybe worth while investing in? Cheers, Tamara

Q: It was mentioned on a recent CityTv show that 2021 residential real estate would be hot in British Columbia (of course) and New-Brunswick(!). I own some residential Reits (IIP/CAR/Minto), but not likely focused in these areas. Do you know where I could find the beakdown of business by provinces/sectors (Retail/Industrial/..) for Canadian Reits? Or which Reits operate in NB (KMP may be?) And BC ? Thanks.

Q: My question is about how VIRT would do in a sell off or a bout of volatility. I have been reading that they would do well with increased volatility because trading frequency would increase. This would suggest that it might offer some hedging benefits. I am intrigued but skeptical of this thesis because in a serious drawdown my experience is that people just kind of sell everything and VIRT would hardly come up as something to hold on to unlike say gold or even a utility. Can I have your thoughts please? Thank-you.

Q: Thankyou for your continued confidence in CSU and Bam.A. I have held them both for many years through ups and downs, and have made a lot of money. What would be your next two favorite Canadian stocks with similar growth and risk, for a minimum 10 year hold.

Q: Setting up RESP for grandkids 7 and 8. Probable 10-year hold. Thinking of probably 3 ETFs ? - accept moderate risk - Can. or US - Suggestions?? Thanks Jim

Q: In a RSP holding ZAG, ZEA, ZSP, and CDZ could you please suggest a couple etfs I could add that would provide a little more torque. Minimum holding period is 5 years.

Q: Any comment on graphene technology companies like (all OTC) GPHBF, ABGMF, and NNXPF ?
