Investment Q&A

Q: Do you think Nutrien's management has lost its way? It seems to be groping around for a strategy in South America, and is having a lot of top management turnover. Molson got badly burned in Brazil years ago because they didn't understand the Brazilian market; is the same thing happening to NTR?

Q: Hi 5i I am looking for stocks that pay a dividend 4-7% and pay their dividend in Feb/May/Aug and Nov. Please do not include anything in the financial, utility or communication sector.

Q: Entrepreneur and author Tony Seba has an amazing record of correctly predicting various time frames for a number of disruptions. His prediction of what Robotaxis will potentially do to the auto industry is concerning enough.

My question though, is prediction on how Precision Fermentation will affect the food industry and agriculture. It sounds like by 2030, the dairy industry will essentially be bust followed by meat and egg production in the mid 2030's - if I understand this correctly. My concern is my investment in Nutrien, should this occur. This isn't really all that far into the future.

Also, not sure if 5i has an opinion on Tony Seba's views of the future in general, but I was wondering if investing in an ETF with Precision Fermentation content is a suitable investment. I came across EATV which has a "smallish" portion in this sector, but has a relatively high expense ratio and light volume. Your thoughts ?

Q: Is the dividend on Nutrien safe?

Q: you recently answered a question on august 13 about higher / better / safer quality dividend stocks with yields in the 3-5 % range (vs going after yields over 6 %).

What would you consider to be the top 10 of this 3-5 % yield higher quality dividend stock category?

Q: I own Nutrien.
Q1 = When is BHP's Jansen potash mine scheduled to come on line? I read late 2026....does that match your sources?
Q2 = More importantly, when will the Jansen mine start-up be expected to impact world supply-demand stock pricing?
Thanks...Steve

Q: TD Web Broker shows Nutrien as trading below book value. The technical chart doesn't look very encouraging, but I see a couple of insiders have bought recently.

With a little investigation there seem to be a couple of hundred Canadian stocks trading at or below book value. Most of them don't look to be neatly as big or as strong financially as Nutrien. Do you see any gems I might have overlooked?

Q: hi 5i,
NTR,T,MG? I own these blue chip laggards. can you recommend them as BUY,HOLD, or SELL please. If any are a sell, could you suggest a few replacement names (CDN) with similar dividend yield and more (hopefully) share price growth potential? I am fine holding all for long term if you think the weakness is just cyclical.
cheers, Chris

Q: Dear 5i team.

Now that NTR has announced, and results were not a disaster, at what price would you consider a full position. Last price I saw in the archives said 65 as good entry point. It's now sub 63, so .5 position now and add into weakness, or wait it out for now?
Appreciate your help.

Q: Could you please comment on Nutrien’s earnings? I’m considering increasing my holdings. Is it a good buy? Thanks!

Q: Hello,

I currently hold a half portion of Nutrien in my portfolio. Is this a good time to add more? What is the best entry price? Additionally, could you provide an update on Nutrien’s recent earnings report?

Thanks!

Q: I hold ALB and am down 50% in both a registered and non registered account. What are your views on ALB and lithium. Is it time to move on? If so what companies in the material sector do you suggest as a replacement. Thanks again Peter

Q: Your thoughts please on replacing NTR with SJ for a material position.

Thx

Q: I did slightly increase this position.. Is there still a potential though for this Cie and fertilizers, considering world demand , and Cie financials, would you consider a better option in the sector,a hold,buy or a sell ? many thanks

Q: Which one is a better buy today and why?

Q: Hi,

Long time subscriber and was curious as to the weightings of these four stocks in the BP. ranging from 1.15% to 1.76%. Conventional wisdom is that as weightings get closer to 1%, any movement has less effect on the overall portfolio.

What does one look for to justify holding on to these smaller holdings? I have a long time frame, and I know three of the four are recent additions, with OTEX being increased once.

Just looking for my held to be held, I suppose.

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hey 5i Team: At one point today these two were trading in the same range.Which one would you buy and why? Tks. Larry

Q: I have both NTR and WFG in my TFSA. I would like to raise some cash, and am considering selling either or both of these. Which would you sell? Portfolio balancing is not a consideration.
