Investment Q&A

Q: If TRI overvalued at this point? What would be a good entry point?

Q: Hi 5I
I have no exposure to gold or metals, and thinking of purchasing some wpm. Would you consider still buying after its recent climb.
Thanks for all your great work and advice

Q: Greetings…I’ve taken a 10% haircut on this ETF held for healthcare exposure. I could book the loss, but if I replace with another healthcare ETF inside of 30 days in your experience does the CRA have a problem with that? Also, some of the other ETF’s on the TSX look like they have fared even worse. Any ideas? (Trying to avoid holding one or two US companies individually)

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have been following this company for years and am wondering if this might be a good time to buy. I trust they will survive the HBC bankruptcy. In other words is this a reasonable contrarian play...your thoughts please. Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

It now seems certain that BCE will be forced to cut its dividend. Based on your experience, what is your "crystal-ball" prediction on the effect such a dividend cut would have on the share price?

Incidentally, as BCE shareholders in a RRIF, we recently voted against the CEO and every single board member. I suspect that the upcoming AGM will be a rather robust event, putting it mildly. For us, and so many other small retail investors, we had faith in this "dividend aristocrat" and "safe widows and orphans" stock. Thank goodness 5i always stresses diversification, but the almost 50% decline in SP for our BCE holding is hard to take.

Thanks in advance for answering this question, and for reading my "rant".

Q: I am 25 years old and have my TFSA and FHSA maxed out. I will likely buy a house in 1-3 years. Should I start contributing (and investing) any additional money in my RRSP or in a cash investment account? Which ETF should I invest in? Thanks!

Q: The price of Gold reversed today after touching an all time high of $3500 and closed lower, below $3400, in Tuesday's session. Gold miners also followed suit and reversed course mid day to close lower, after opening higher at the open. Do you think, this price action is important from technical perspective and signalling a near term Top for Gold ?

Today's comments from the US Treasury Secretary appear to have triggered a relief rally in equity markets and perhaps was one of the reasons, Gold/Gold equities ( safe haven) performed poorly.

Are you concerned with this price action and would recommend cutting Gold exposure ?

Thank You

Q: In what order would you put these 4 companies for growth income and safety.

Q: What is the difference between CCA & CGO.

Q: Is there an equal weight spx equal weight CDR hedged on the TSX?

Q: What do you make of their earnings for the last quarter? It seems like a beat with positive guidance. What is the reason for the additional pullback today when the markets are increasing today? Is this stock still worth holding?

Regards,

Brendan

Q: Hi there,

I saw TD has recently introduced an all equity ETF similar to *EQT but with slight variances to exposures, and slightly less MER (i think?). Liquidity and AUM aside, how would you rank this compared to the other *EQT ETFs? And if you were to try and guestimate it's long term rate of return versus the competitors, what do you think that might look like?

Thanks!

Q: I am slowly working on reducing my exposure to the US$ given the recent commentary and negative sentiment. I am also questioning bond exposures given the Trump administrations decisions recently and hiccups it has been causing in the bond market. I have ensured the downside risk on long bonds and would like your take on the following:

1) If Trump causes crisis in the bond market which bond market and ETF would be least likely to be disrupted?

2) What is your take on the short and medium term risks to the bond market with Trumps economic non-strategy?

3) Is it a more reasoned decision to reduce bond exposures in favour of investing in shares of stable Canadian or European companies?

Thanks very much,

Dave

Q: Thoughts on the Q? Buying opportunity?

Q: Hi there,

RTX reported today and it appears like good results but the share price dropped like a rock? Could you please give me your usual great analysis on this? Is it a BUY/ADD in a diversified portfolio?

Thanks!

Q: Any reason this is down on a big up day?

Q: Hello 5i team,
How material is this data privacy class action lawsuit against SHOP in California?

Will this continue to be appealed or will this go forward?

This seems major since it's in California.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you comment on the takeover of Orogen by Triple Flag Precious Metals. Orogen shareholders will receive part cash, part shares in TFPM, and shares in a new company, Orogen Spinco.

What is your assessment of Triple Flag Precious Metals.

I am a shareholder of Orogen and am debating whether to sell at the increased market price, or hold on until the arrangement goes through and then re-asses. At this point the deal looks pretty good for Orogen shareholders. Would you agree with this.
Thanks.
