Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Within my fixed income allotment I've recently favored short term bonds over long term bonds on the advice that they will react less to changes in interest rates. However, since the Fed's meeting last week the opposite has occurred, as there has been a flight from short term bonds into long term bonds. Can you please explain why this is the case and then, given the current environment could you also rank the above ETF's in order of preference. If there are better fixed income suggestions please indicate. Thanks.

Q: Good morning 5i,

Love the updates.

Could you please give me your top US market ETF'S geared to growth as a S&P500, mid-cap, small-cap.

Taking into consideration low fee, low distribution and preferable lower allocation to tech as a whole.

I realize that's a driver but a lower top 10 holdings. Deduct accordingly.



Thank you very much!!!!

Q: I see price has been lowered and share count increased- surprising given the
ESG and renewables play. Are we seeing a top in the space or just a few too many issues flooding the market. Would you be a buyer here

Q: Dear 5i,
I identified these three stocks which seem to be traded OTC Pink.
What does this mean and should I avoid trading OTC Pink?
Trading volume is typically 30K to 176K daily.
These stocks are high-end luxury goods.
The tickers are: LVMUY, Louis Vuitton SE, HESAY, Hermes SCA, PPRUY, Kering SA.
Can you please add them to your database.

thanks

Q: I hold the above six securities in a taxable account in less than half positions. On a tax neutral basis I could sell OKTA,SNOW,GH and PLUG and split the proceeds between ROKU and CRWD to bring them to larger positions. These investments are part of a relatively agressive taxable portfolio.
Two questions - firstly, if you could rank the 6 stocks in accordance with your preference. Secondly, do you think my proposal would create a meaningful stronger position for growth.
Thanks,
Terry

Q: Hi 5i,
I am having a tough time choosing between TIXT and MAGT. Which do you think would be the better buy for a long term hold. Thank you for your input.

Q: Can you recommend 5 blue chip U.S. stocks that look attractive right now? I have capital that I'd like to put to work and I currently own AMZN, ABBV, BMY, NVDA and COST. Looking to add some other names. I'm looking at HD on the most recent pullback and JPM.

Thank you,
Jason

Q: I have owned CNR for a number of years and it has been a solid performer. I appreciate its regular dividend increases and blue-chip status. Having said that, under what circumstances, if any, would you consider switching to TFII? I know there is an increase in risk but do you expect the long term growth prospects with TFII to be that much better? In particular, I am thinking that the UPS segment of TFII's business offers a real potential growth opportunity.

Taxes are not an issue.

Appreciate your insight.
