Q: I regularly use Globe Investor some terminology used by professionals on these sites and TV require some explanation. For instance, i.e. Trade Desk just as an example, the price/earnings (TTM) 142.2; earnings per share (TTM) 0.57;
Doing my math the share price 79.00 @ 11:00 a.m. divided by 0.57 = 138.59
Am I right you would be paying 138.59? Above I said the PE was 142.2 doing my math would the PE now be 138.59? I realize every move in the stock price changes the PE slightly.
Another frequently used termination is free cash flow. Please explain. I know I have the right people to explain the above.
Thank you

Q: Conventional wisdom seems to be that growth stocks, esp. pricey hi-tech names, are being hit due to fears of interest rate increases. But some of these names don't seem to be directly vulnerable, with low/no debt, strong balance sheets to fund growth without borrowing, and products that wouldn't be especially vulnerable to rate increases for consumers (e.g. retail like shop or lspd). So what am I missing? Could you suggest 2 or 3 growth names that should be relatively safe, or at least bounce back quickly?

Q: hello 5i:
Took some profits at an opportune time in AVGO and PANW. I'd like to stay in the tech space with the proceeds (still have half positions in the 2 sold) and was considering some stocks you like. I left out NVDA as AVGO is in that space. Which do you like best between ADBE and QCOM, assuming they are 2 of your favourites, and why.
thanks

Q: I have been advised by BMO that this company is planning to have a Dutch Auction in the near future. The company is giving me 12 different options for selling some of my shares, with the last option(#99) being to do nothing. Can you advise why the company might be going this route to purchase back shares. Are there advantages for the company to go this route. And for the investor, why should he sell some of his shares this way. If there is some advantage to the investor, how do you decide which option to pick. Right now my preferred option is to do nothing, but would appreciate your advice on this matter. Many tnx for the great service.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team,

Do you have a recent opinion of HUC? I'm thinking of it as a way to use dividends from our other holdings to periodically buy shares, as we can buy and sell HUC at no cost with iTrade. Being underweight in the energy sector, holding only ENB and PKI, I'm thinking that it's a good way to "dip our toes" into this commodity ETF. I do understand that HUC can be volatile, and has relatively high fees, but as a managed ETF, its MER doesn't seem to me to be excessive.

Your thoughts please, and thanks in advance.

Q: My unregistered investment account has a 50% core of VEQT and 5 equally weighted satellites; CEW, VGG, XSU, ZEO and ZQQ. I am considering overweighting CEW and ZEO. Do you think this is a good idea, would you use some of the other satellites or just stick with equal weighting. I would like to maximize the return without unduly increasing the risk. Thank you

Q: My son has $5k to put into his TFSA. He has CU, BCE, BEP.UN, WCP, ZWH, AC & BB as higher risk plays. For a 5 to 7 year conservative hold after which he will need funds for loan repayments etc (which is why his stock choices are mostly conservative), would you recommend more ZWH or a CAR.UN or... ?

Q: In what way is it advantageous to buy VEE vs. the underlying VWO? VEE indicated yield is 2.16%, VWO is 2.62%.
I realize one is Canadian listed, the other American, and it may depend on the holding account. Please explain the mechanics.
Thanks, love your service.

Q: Two Questions:

1. BofA downgraded TIXT from a Buy to Underperform. Anything triggering this in particular?

2. TCS took a good hit today. Anything going on of concern other than market rolling out of growth?

Thanks, Carl
