Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i Team:

What is your opinion on CEW Equal Weight Bank and Lifeco ETF as a diversified investment in the financial sector? It would be about 8.4% of the overall portfolio. CEW holds 10 bank and insurance company stocks.

The purchase of CEW would be funded by the sale of TD, as I realize that 8.4% is too high a weighting for this one bank stock. A commentator on BNN suggested greater diversification in this sector going forward.

As usual, thanks in advance for your timely advice and excellent service.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: The "hockey stick" graph for Tesla Motors (TSLA - NASDAQ) was really extended today, with its breakout through $100 being also a break up to the $110 level. What would you do if you had some now: halve it, hold it, or jump to the sidelines? (The position is less than 5% even after today's move but big enough that halving it is feasible.) Can you comment in general terms about handling stocks making moves of this kind? Thanks!

Q: The fuel cell sector is moving higher with HYG, BLD and others
all breaking out through resistance. It appears to be short

you have. Thanks in advance.

Q: Could you please give me your thoughts on EFR? From their website: Energy Fuels and Strathmore believe the Transaction will position the newly combined Energy Fuels as the premier pure-play U.S. uranium company, supported by significant current uranium production of 1.175 million lbs. for its current fiscal year, as well as a robust pipeline of development projects. The U.S. remains the largest consumer of uranium globally, yet it is heavily reliant on imported uranium for over 90% of its supply requirements. Energy Fuels is well-positioned as a large, reliable source of uranium supply within the U.S., currently accounting for over 25% of estimated U.S. production.
Thanks!
