Investment Q&A

Q: What would you consider to be a minimum net profit margin I should be targeting for companies? I was interested in Magna on this pullback but noticed their NPM is in the mid/low single digits which seems skinny for a manufacturer. Thanks

Q: Hi,
I did not need the capital loss in 2022, so I kept the shares. Is there a way to know what is the status of the bankruptcy? Would that be from the site of Deloitte https://www.insolvencies.deloitte.ca/en-ca/pages/Xebec.aspx ?
Can we expect any formal news for the investors in 2023 ? Do XBC patents have any value ? Thanks as usual.

Q: Comments on Roku earnings? Up 12% before earnings today and then another 10% post-earnings after hours. Does that not look like there was a leak before the announcement? Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon,

Follow up question, should FM shut down operations in Panama, what remedy(s) does FNV have should they not receive their contracted ore ? Is this a serious long term issue or viewed more as part of the negotiation between the two sides?

Thank you

Q: Hi, What is your view of Linamar? You seem to prefer Magna, can you compare them?

Q: Please comment on their earning report . Thanks

Q: Is this company a slow burn of cash. I don’t see the potential. They have news releases that add no confidence. Is there potential here? Or would u put your bet on KRR?

Q: Hi 5i team i hear sometime on tv channels you can buy six month T-bills and earn over 5% fix income without any risk how can you buy those products in Canada what is symbol for something like that
thanks

Q: I just read your recent answer about NXF.B and would like clarification about:
"There is withholding taxes on the direct US investments held in the fund"

i thought in RRSP there would not be withholding tax, is that just on dividends and the income generated on covered calls is treated differently?

Q: so you have quite a few questions on converge,so my question without any takeover , i repeat without any takeover what do you think the stock is worth.
and my 2nd question, is 4.75 a good entry point, or possibly 4.25, what do you think.
its obvious from the sell off retail investors are exiting, but someones buying bigtime at 4.75.

Q: Looking for some growth, long term holding...MSFT or APPL?

Q: Hi,
I have cash to purchase another dividend paying stock to add to my portfolio. Which of these would you recommend over 5-10 yrs and why?
thanks
Michele

Q: I have a small holding in this small cap, down with large volume today. What gives?

Q: Hi guys,

CTS preliminary results were so bad to warrant the punishment today on triple the average volume? It looks too much to my layman's eyes.

Many thanks!

Q: HI, your though about this ETF
thanks

Q: We have BN (full position) and BAM in Canadian $ accounts. 5i appears to consider these very good choices for part of a portfolio foundation. Do you have similar choices to recommend that we could put in our US$ accounts (TFSA, RRIF) ?
Thank you, as always.

Q: Hi 5i,

Further to Ken’s question on February 13, can you explain why you prefer PSK over FRU?

For some reason most, but not all, analyst pick PSK over FRU. When I look at the following measures, FRU seems like the better choice.

PSK FRU
Rev Growth 3 Years 37.83 26.23
Rev Growth 5 Years 8.98 8.62
ROE 11.79 22.44
ROA 9.12 18.17
ROC 10.94 18.69
PE 17.20 11.90
PCF 9.70 7.90
PBV 1.98 2.49
Yield 4.18% 6.80%

Thanks for your opinion.

Q: Any comments on their results this morning? Thanks.
