Investment Q&A

Q: With the latest trend to electric vehicles it would seem that cobalt producers would be an attractive investment. However, my effort in finding an ETF or even a major producer specializing in cobalt hasn't gone well.

Do you have any suggestions on any potential candidates?

Q: Hi5i, I do not own CRH in my portfolio, is it a buy at this price? Thanks always.

Q: Hi,
ORT stopped trading a few months back. I have a small holding left in this. Is there any possibility of this stock trading again and if not what is the procedure to have this removed from your account?

Q: In a diversified RRSP account I have 10% industrials with positions in XTC, ZCL, NFI, and MG. Have been patient with XTC and can remain so, but do own MG already. The account is more growthy given time to need. Looking for a second opinion on my thought to swap XTC for DOO/CAE/BYD. Would you make the switch? If so to witch name? I don't trade a lot but do watch the names and account fairly closely.

Q: Hi all at 5i!! What are your thoughts of PPG industries and Thomson Reuters as long term holds? I am looking to invest a little cash in one or both of these companies. Thanks, Tamara

Q: Hello
Need some advice please. 62 and recently retired. RRSP's are almost maxed out but only a few k in TFSA account.
As my income is now at its lowest point (CPP),I'm
thinking I should start moving some RRSP funds to my TFSA?
I'm considering a mix of ETF's such as VAB,VCN,XAW or perhaps some of your Income stocks and funds such as CPD,XHY,BCE and BNS.
Note that I do hold most stocks in the balanced portfolio.
Thanks for your great service.

Q: What is your view on TSL after yesterday's earnings release.

Q: I have a 30% loss in my TSFA on this stock. Margins on the existing business are compressing and their two new acquisitions are an unknown. Sell and move to greener pasture or hold on. It's only a 1.28% weight on a large portfolio but locking in losses is always difficult. Thoughts?

Q: Hi, Could you please provide street estimates for Revenue, EBITDA, EPS and ACFFO for the upcoming quarterly results. Thanks

Q: I recently saw a feature on BNN that indicated a study by CITI that said the most reliable metric to use is free cash flow per share when evaluating a stocks performance and future growth potential. Is this something that you can use when you screen and include in a company report

Q: I own XTC, which is currently down 15% in my portfolio. I'm considering locking in a capital loss for tax purposes, then purchasing MG, which has shown a much better trend and better earnings results. Do you think locking in a loss in XTC (possibly to re-purchase after 30 days), and purchasing MG would be a reasonable move at this time?

Q: Based on the belief that "BDI was a good company in a bad sector", I have main my position in the company and have been trying to ride out the storm. Is this a sound decision? Are this years wild fires likely to affect BDI's sustainability (for better or worse) moving forward?

Q: Just a comment, I’ve been a member since you launched your site. I read a load of investment things daily, and your offering is unparalleled. While I don’t ask many questions, I truly benefit from the Q&A every day, and of course the insight gleamed from your portfolios.

Since your company has grown a lot, obviously the demands - the sheer volume of questions alone - has clearly grown with it, because over the last while I’ve noticed a very big difference in your answers. They’ve lost the choppiness: the quick, short, get-to-the-point way in which they were always written. Now, they’re very smooth, all corners are rounded, very well-written quite frankly, so I assume that answers are now being dictated, and a ‘writer’ is putting them together for publication. Very nice, easy to read in a mellifluous kind of way. But I have to say, I miss the choppiness!

Had to comment on it, it’s just that marked a difference. Thank you for the excellent service, I look forward to staying with you until you hang up your hat!
