Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i guys. Back in OCT or Nov when Linamar was stuck in the low $70 range I sold a long dated call on LNR at $80 strike price since I didn't think LNR was going to move in price very much and I thought I would collect some premiums. Well LNR has been well over $80 for a couple of weeks and the option still has not been exercised and I still have my 100 shares of LNR. This seems odd to me since I figured that the counter party to this option would have exercised their option to take the LNR shares. Is there a logical reason why this option is still outstanding. I am not disappointed with my call selling strategy since I got over $3 of premium so I am flat since LNR has been trading around $84.

Q: Over the next six months I am looking to rebuild my preferred share allocation to 8-10% of my investment portfolio. Brookfield Asset Mgmt, Power Financial, Fortis and Intact are of interest. Some perpetual and some rate reset. Any issues with this strategy?

Q: With respect to the class action regarding Lightspeed, they make it difficult to Opt Out of the class action by requiring proof of purchase, number of securities, etc. and I am wondering why it is so difficult. I understand that the lawyers want as many claimants as possible in order to be successful in your action. It seems to read if you don't opt out and the settlement is approved then you will be sent further forms to fill out in order to receive any settlement monies. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Q: Thanks fo r this mornings reply which was great except one question you did not answer and it is this,
From all of the etf's listed which do you suggest to be in TFSA or RRIF?
Thanks.

Q: is there any reason to expect meaningful growth in TD during the next year or two? I have a full position and I think the yield is down and the stock is getting tired. I am thinking of selling some (e.g. 20%) shares or selling covered calls in some at about 135/share.. What do you think of the stock going forward for the next two years?

Q: For an income seeking investor who has built up a modest portfolio and wealth using institute financial advisors considering doing investing on their to save fees to create more wealth and income, how many hours/ week would one have to spend to monitor, research and buy/sell investments for their portfolio?

Second question/questions what basic investing knowledge should one have or perhaps a better way to ask this question is can you name a few investing courses one could take to be more comfortable investing without the assistance of a financial advisor?

Thanks and seasons greetings to all.

Q: ROOF recycles reshingles. They shred a shingle and produce 3 different products. The marketplace has a different cycle wherein they shred a shingle to produce road tar. Does ROOF have enough of a differentiator in its product line to sustain the viability of the company long term. Could you provide your opinion on this company's valuation and long term outlook for the next 3 - 5 years?

I have just become a new member; I read questions every day and I am very pleased with the information and website that you have developed. Thank you. I am a regular investor, but as a novice investor your guidance is invaluable.

Q: Could you breakdown the significance of the Abcourt Binding Term Sheet with Glencore AG for Senior Debt Financing and Offtake Agreement.

Thank you for everything over the past 13 years and Merry Christmas!

Q: Would appreciate your advice for RRSP - 15 to 20 concentrated ETF/stocks quality plus growth Portfolio for 3-5 years hold.

Q: I’m looking into Almonty and trying to separate substance from narrative.

Tungsten is often framed as a U.S. critical mineral and the West is clearly dependent on China, but I’m wondering how much that actually translates into shareholder value. Sangdong in South Korea only restarted production in 2025, but it did operate historically and shut down mainly due to pricing and Chinese oversupply rather than geology.

Management also recently hired a former U.S. general into a senior operating role, which could signal an attempt to align with defense or strategic supply chains, though it’s unclear how tangible that is in practice.

What % of portfolio allocation would you recommend? And how do you view the future growth of this company?

Q: Dear 5i. It's time to put the sound investing advice on the back burner for a few days. Take this time to enjoy yourselves with family and friends. Imbibe, indulge at the celebratory buffet, you've earned the rest. Merry Christmas and thank you for all you do for the membership.
