Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi 5i team.

I am interested in your analysis of the following.

Given the markets appear to be trading at higher multiples vs "normal", can you please comment on what the current levels are, what the median levels would be (that history shows us) and what the market levels would look like if a reversion to the mean took place?

Many thanks.

Q: What do you make of another short squeeze on blackberry. Why is this company involved in a Reddit squeeze? Is it not a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy like GameStop and Amc.
Only 9 percent is shorted. Where do you see this playing out in the next week? I own BB on its own merit but the short squeeze has me wondering whether I should take the money and run.

Q: Hi, What's your view on the Nuvei's Secondary Offering of 7.2 mln shares @ US$69.78. There seems to be no dilution and selling shareholders including CEO Philip Fayer, Novacap, CDPQ and others will continue to own almost 90% of their current stake ? Is it a good opportunity to Buy/Add ? Thanks

Q: Hi folks.

With all this talk about higher inflation (new shiny object for the media) there has been very little discussion on the explosion of debt Countries have embarked on, pre, and since the onset of Covid. Seems like this appears to be a coordinated effort throughout the developed world, and as a result, no one seems too bothered, Including Conservatives.
Are there any lessons in history we can draw from? How does 5i think this all gets resolved over the next decade or two, assuming it will take a bit of time to generate enough growth to cover all this?
Are we headed for multiple Japans where the Gov't owns all or most Gov't issued bonds to control interest payments. Does this scenario create even more inflation with depreciation of currencies and a race to the bottom on exchange rates? Way above my pay grade so please take a stab at opining on this for us.

Many thanks.

Q: Hi 5i, I've seen a recently viral clip going around social media of a TV showing you which shoes an NBA player is wearing in real time while also giving you the option to purchase them. This seems like an incredibly powerful interface to drive consumer spending that can certainly be expanded to almost any visible entertainment platform. Is this along the same lines of Shopify? If not, I'm wondering if you know of any frontrunners in this space that would be worth taking a position.

Thanks!

Q: Hello,
I am nearing retirement. I have CBO, CPD, VAB and XHY at 20% of my fixed income portfolio. All these ETF's exist in my unregistered account. I wanted to add XBB in my RRSP account. Any concerns about too much overlap by adding this position? This will add 7% to my fixed income position. Portfolio analytics recommends a 30% position.

Thanks for all your help.

Q: I recently asked about TAN and thanks for the reply. I understand that you think the sector still has legs. I realize (as you say) one stock will carry much more risk than an ETF but I am seriously thinking of switching from TAN to PLUG. What are your thoughts on this move and your current thoughts on PLUG? Does anything better in the sector draw your attention? Thanks as always.
After thought question: Or just say ... you can't lose with GOOG and go with that?
