Investment Q&A

Q: Among other holdings in my TFSA I have BN, T, RY, CNR, ATD and NVDA (ATD and NVDA at half positions) all for long term holds. Given current valuations and long term total return prospects, of the listed holdings, could you rank in which order you would direct extra funds to? Thanks.

Q: Small position held. Should this be sold? What will happen to this ETF if some banks go out of business? Could this ever recover? Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan I would like to add some American names as I haven't any in my RRSP or TFSA. Which of these would be best in these accounts. MSFT, NVDA, BRK.B and can you give me one or two other suggestions. Thanks

Q: Mercedes Benz. Excellent yield , and low price/earnings ratio.
Thoughts?
Philip

Q: Good morning
I have never been too concerned about bank failures here in Canada. But the many questions about protecting one’s account has stirred me a bit and made me wonder if i am too complacent. We had our accounts at different institutions but i was happy to consolidate them with just TD. You say the best way to protect one’s self is to make sure non registered accounts are under one million. Is it worth all the trouble to do that? I know that this is quite subjective but i would appreciate your take on it
Thanks as always

Q: Greetings, 5i Team.
Two questions:
- At what price would you see TOU as a 'strong buy'?
- May I have a couple of phosphate company names that you see as credible investments?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hi 5i Team - I plan to sell most of my Enthusiast Gaming and use the money for something with a better balance sheet and a decent prospect for growth. Do you have any suggestions for stocks that trade below $5.00 including any that might be under $1.00 which is where EGLX has been trading for some time now. Any sector or market cap is fine. Thanks you.

Q: What would be a great entry price for TD? Many thanks

Q: When Lumine starts trading later this month, I will want to add to the shares that I will receive by virtue of my CSU holding. Is it your expectation that there will initially be some selling pressure and hence price weakness as investors who do not see Lumine as a core holding, sell the shares that they received? Also as was the case with Topicus, can I assume that an additional source of selling will be index funds who will be forced to sell their shares?
In your opinion, when will be the optimal time to acquire additional shares - immediately after they start trading, or gradually over the following weeks?...thanks...Glenn

Q: Could you please rank the above in terms of 1. Upside potential, next 2 years, assuming a significant recovery. 2, Risk

Q: Did Buffett just fly all the regional bank CEOs into Omaha & offer a deal to SAVE the banks?

Q: Good morning
I have registered accounts but also 2 non registered cash accounts with 2 different banks..BMO AND TD. MY TD account is well over 100 thousand dollars. Is it protected or should I divide it.? Should part of it go into a third bank? Sorry for the confusion. Thankyou as always

Q: On Friday March 3, 2023 after the market closed it was announced that AX.UN would be dropped from the TSX Indexes at the opoen on Monday March 20. Beginning on March 1 there was a noteworthy increase in volume and the price has dropped from $9.09 to $7.86. Volume spiked on Friday March 17 to just over 7 million (about 7x average). Provided the selling pressure was due to the delisting what do you see for AX.UN going forward? It appears to be quite undervalued so much that a takeover would seem likely. Thoughts? How safe is the dividend? The payout ratio looks reasonable. Thanks

Q: With the banking crisis, there is a general feeling that lending will be reduced. Do
you feel that we could be at the start of a broader decline in markets now?

Q: this is a tax-related question on possible capital gains inclusion rates changes.
Currently the rate in Canada sits at 50% but I believe there could be some pressure to increase this rate for the upcoming budget as a means to generate more tax revenue. I know they have been as high as 75%.

Of course, no one can predict what changes a government will make on Budget Day but I wondered if they increased the inclusion rate on capital gains to say 75%, would they also have to increase the inclusion rate for capital losses to the same 75%?

I, like I'm sure many others, am sitting on quite a few unrealized capital losses (admittedly from my poor investment decisions!)

Can you let me know if I'm thinking about things in a 'smart' way? I want to delay any selling of my losing positions till after The Budget, just in case the Capital Loss inclusion rate goes up in the next budget?

Q: Just a follow up to my prior question. I was under the impression that Kxs is very expensive . Can you please give me an idea of whether you would consider if it was or not and what the numbers tell you.

Also, when you answer questions about stocks to buy you rarely mention TRI. This stock also has done amazingly well this 12 months +15%. How do you rate TRI as a buy at these prices and compared to other stocks you like?

Thanks

Q: Dear 5i team.

Is there an ETF that has LNR/MG etc in it? Is this a good time to start a position, or should we wait for the outlook to improve?

Thanks for your help.

Q: Which ETF product would be suitable for a one year holding period in an RESP?

Q: I currently hold BN in a TFSA account. In your last report you suggested to increase BAM to 3% weight. Would you suggest this for BN as well?

Q: I currently hold ZAG in a RRSP account and wonder if you feel ok with averaging down on this ETF. It is a 4% holding at the moment.

Thanks
