Q: I will be making a case to our investment club to replace CU with ENB..The portfolio mandate is conservative growth with above average dividends. How would you compare these two companies, what metrics would you use, how would you frame the presentation ?
Thanks. Derek.
Q: Could you please recommend two 100% safe and liquid holdings, one Canadian and the other American. Could you advise the current interest rate they each pay?
Q: I understand that TGED and TUED ETF's use both Call and Put option strategies to produce income. One is a global ETF and the other is a US stock ETF both available on the CDN exchange. Can you help suggest some ETF's available on the US exchange that use both Call and Put option strategies targeting the World and US stock markets. thanks
Q: With the down day and negative news on Friday for BKNG, I’ve been thinking of selling and buying into SYK. Bookings has had a good run but if travel is measurably slowing it may make sense to migrate into a company that has a more positive outlook. Thoughts??
Q: What do you think of senior loan funds in general, and this one in particular. Seems like a safe and diversified way to earn steady income. Any other information sources on this asset class? What would be your best pick?
Q: Hello 5i, Could you comment on TVE as to I think I caught the last part on the news as to the Indigenous groups have a majority stake in Tamarack Valley and if so what are the details?
Q: Opinions on these two companies. Looks like Intel created a foundry division in which Cadence will be assisting Intel with designing and producing new chips. From my reading Microsoft is also involved and wondering if this may be a strategy to decrease reliance on Taiwan semiconductor and increase "home grown" chip manufacturing.
Do you think Intel can find some momentum from the AI surge and this strategy?
Is Cadence a viable way to get involved in the "back door" of the AI surge? Do you have other preferences that provide the same services?
Thank you.
Q: I am wondering what Canadian companies are poised to benefit from an increase in spending on armaments by Western governments, in response to rising tensions across the world. Mining stocks could be of interest, but I'm mainly wondering about manufacturing companies.
Q: I do wonder if you could comment on the recent news releases in regard to Cadance and Intel foundry systems. I just started researching this and am going to admit a lot of this is over my head and comprehension. From my initial readings it looks like Microsoft has joined in on this as well, so looks like Intel, Cadence and Microsoft are in an initiative in the AI space. Is there a possibility that Intel may get some legs in this AI surge as well? The share price of this stock has certainly not soared like others in this sector. Wondering if the Microsoft relationship will have some impact on the future performance of Intel?
Could this be a way for Microsoft to lessen it's dependence on NVDA?
