Investment Q&A

Q: Dennis Gartman has boldly declared a new bear market. What do you make of this opinion?

Assuming the market might decline for a good while, would you still recommend owning growth stocks like SIS, PHO, KXS, etc? How would you suggest positioning a portfolio to preserve capital during a bear market, but also take advantage of any opportunities? Thanks.

Q: Please comment on their results out today. Thanks

Q: Good afternoon,

I manage 2 portfolios. One is growth (Non registered and tfsa) and the other one is income (RRSP). The income portfolio is long term investments. I have stocks in every sector at equal weight (approx. 5%) except telecommunications in which I have no investment at all. Since the telecommunication sector has been dropping because of increases interest rates would still invest in them and if so, please, recommend the which stock would you buy?

Thank you,

Paul

Q: KXS had a media day yesterday, do you know if they did an update on the contract with Toyota? To me that is likely a "company maker" deal. I have been after them for an update (since the deal was announced two months ago) but their IR department seems to think that is some sort of "state secret" and just read off a scripted non answer that said absolutely nothing when I contacted them.

Do you by any chance have more information to share on the Toyota deal? Thanks.

Q: Would you recommend this company as a buy at this time? Is there a price level at which you would consider it a buy?
There is some speculation that Shopify will be adversely affected due to its business relations with Facebook and the troubles that they are having.

Q: Hello 5i,
In the recent sell off I sold enbridge for a tax loss and bought Algonquin as a replacement, thinking to sell it and buy enbridge again after thirty days. But, I have been thinking about keeping Algonquin in place of Endbridge. This because of possibly growing problems with pipelines and also the postive outlook for cleaner energy with Algonquin. I have been wondering, though, whether the absence of pipelines would be a big negative point for my utilities sector. So, I guess the question is whether clean energy utilities like Algonquin and Bep can replace the pipelines without too much loss in the utilities sector of one's portfolio?

Q: During a recession do Large Cap blue chip companies(aristocrats) reduce their Dividends or has history shown that they tend to weather the storm and maintain.

Q: Ceo cancelled scheduled appearance on BNN to answer allegations of "short attack" Why? Stock continue slide,& 5.2% today.Your opinion please.Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Would you have any concerns investing in JE.DB.C OR JE.DB.D for income?

Q: Hi All at 5i! With the tech market taking a bit of a hit and the DPO of Spotify coming out on Tuesday, should I wait to buy some or get in right at the opening bell? I am waffling here because I have never bought IPOs before and have heard that they can start strong, only to lose value within a few day or weeks. Spotify is a DPO, a bit of a different beast. If it were you ( with your cloudy crystal ball handy) how would you handle this?Buy the first day ,wait a while or gradually trickle in? This is for a long term hold and not quick profit. Thank you for your help and have a great long weekend.!

Q: I am not understanding why NFLX would be caught up in the tech slide. It's more of a media than a tech stock, no? In any case, these large cap techs with high valuations seem to be suffering disproportionately. I am down considerably from the highs but still up nicely on both of these and am seriously considering getting out now. Do you think that would be a mistake?

Q: Your thought on RHT at current price?

Q: I assume that the recent weakness in TSGI is primarily due to the increased volatility in the US markets. But today they released a good NR as they prepare to launch into the second most populace nation on earth. Time to add to the position?

Thanks as always.

Q: If you were me: fully weighted in technology, and had been watching SHOP for quite some time hoping for a pull back entry point, and having owned ENGH for several years, would you sell ENGH to buy SHOP, given that the pull back is "harsh" because of the short report, and that the valuation of ENGH is quite high (40X?). Or sell half and buy half? I am trying to get a sense of the opportunity to buy SHOP ... and not sure how short attacks work, in the short and long term. I know you have said that "shorts" don't give up easily or quickly.
