Investment Q&A

Q: Thank you for your sage advice over the last few years.

What would it take to move VET shares up a few more dollars? I realize the share has had a good run up over the last months, but at the same time, I believe they are still discounted. There seems to be real resistance at the $14 price level. Even with WTI crude at $83 today, the shares are in the red. Are there specific movers that I should be looking for, or, barring a miracle, is this the time to sell?

Q: Is Brunswick worth continuing to hold? They’re probably affected by supply chain issues and they’re investing in electric motor development. Buy, sell or hold?

Q: I was wondering if this ETF would be a good way to play the renewable energy space? Good dividend, international and spreads out the risk of just owning individual renewable stocks.

This is the best site and thanks for your continued guidance.

Dave.

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

As per Bob Dylan... "The times they are a changin"

I have some new money to deploy and I am a little confused right now regarding where I should put it and how much cash I should leave out!

With what's going on in China, supply chain issues combined with pent up demand and lots of cash on hand, increasing energy costs, and the shortage of labor, I think everyone can agree we are about to/are in and inflationary period which could last for a few years.

I don't think it's a bad thing. And I don't think the markets are going to be (long term) adversely effected. But I do think there are companies/sectors which will do better than others in an inflationary environment. As an example... financials should do well. Inevitable rate hikes plus their ability to pass along added costs to the customer makes sense for them to be able to continue generating good cash flow.

My questions
1. We have all done very well in tech thanks to your guidance. How do you see this sector performing over the coming 1 - 3 years? It would be a shame for the 5i family to see all the capital gains we've recently enjoyed be depleted.
2. Which sectors and specifically which companies do you think will do well in this environment moving forward?
3. With respect to the 5i portfolios which many of us follow closely, what plans/changes are you considering keeping in mind the increasing cost-of-business landscape?

Thanks for all you do.

Q: For my kids RESP's I buy low cost TD index funds "e-series" to keep things simple. However I notice they added a disclaimer which didn't used to be there when buying this last time, it says "A short-term trading fee of up to 2%, payable to the fund, may apply to all units of TD Mutual Funds (except money market funds". What does this mean? Short term makes it sound like I get the money back? But if not, f they are adding 2% to the purchase of low cost index funds, those are no longer low cost. Thoughts?
