Investment Q&A

Q: I owned these brokers for what I thought was a defensive play in my RRSP. They've both been hit this week on AI disruption. I'm not one to sell while under water, however it seems the barriers to entry are somewhat eroded quickly in the broker business if AI companies can offer direct to consumer insurance quotes and pass on commission savings to the customer etc.... I know it's very early innings and that this is hard to predict with any certainty, however do you see much more downside with these two stocks? Not sure I want to experience another 20-30% leg down here.

Q: I must have been napping or looking in the wrong direction when these guys took off.

Lots of FOMO here. Can I still play? More upside potential?

Or look elsewhere for growth?

Perhaps similar but undervalued companies in this sector?

Thanks.

Q: Both of these stocks seem to have performed in a fairly stable manner and have yields at current prices in the range of 11-12.5%. Can you recommend either or both as at least 3-5 year holds?

Thanks again

Q: What are your top four utilities for growth in the next 3-4 years. Canadian or US.? Moderate risk. Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I know there was a nice article in either CMS or perhaps ETF&MF Newsletter about what to hold in RRSP/TFSA and Non-Regd accounts. Especially ETFs. US/Foreign and Canadian stocks. Tax advantages of placing them in individual "buckets" like Regd/Non-Regd and TFSA. For the life of me I can't locate it! Didn't save it. (GRRR). Can you point me in the right direction? Please and Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

For Tamarack Valley Energy, how much years of oil inventory that is proven and probable. I believe I hear Eric Nuttall said that the company has 30 years of oil inventory.

Also, the news mention 2000 identified locations in the Clearwater and 20 years of drilling. How much inventory in can add up to their current oil inventory and years for the company.

In advantage, thank you for taking the time to research and answering my questions.

Q: Hello 5i Team

RFA Financial (the former Artis REIT)

Any thoughts on the merged entity?

The 3:1 share consolidation has muddied the waters a little.

Do you know what the proposed dividend will be?

Has the earnings date been released yet?

Thanks

Q: Please provide an update on Booking. It has languished this past year and now seems to be falling off a cliff like SaaS stocks.

I have make a very good return on it, still, thanks to your recommendation from years back.

Is it still worth keeping in this current environment? What is something I can swap into in the same space that would be less vulnerable to the markets idiosyncraties?

Thank you
Karim.

Q: What is happening with BKNG?

Thanks Again

Q: what's causing SHOP to be so strong the past couple of days. I see no material news other than analysts reiterating their but=y ratings. Is it a run up before they report tomorrow? Might someone know something beforehand?

Q: I see that Morningstar downgraded NBIS from 3 stars to 2 stars. How significant is this for the 3-5 year prospect for the stock? Thanks!

Q: And a good morning to you ... Yesterday, someone asked about your two top holds (med to long term). CNR was one of the selections. Why CNR and not CP? Many thanks.

Q: Greetings,

1) To me it seems counter intuitive to buy a stock like VNP which has experienced such a steep appreciation in a short space of time.

Whatever happened to “reversion to mean” ? Surely this phenomenal rise makes the stock more vulnerable to a sharper pull back?

Or are we looking at a company that has a phenomenal runway and this is just the beginning?


2) Are there dangers making purchases based mostly on momentum? I am worried about “jumping on the bandwagon”? and making a FOMO purchase.


3) At what approximate price do you think the risk reward ratio is more favourable?

4) Is there a way of seeing who is actually buying at the moment? i.e General Public or Institutional or Insiders. Can we draw any conclusions from WHO is mostly buying?

My screen is showing a 4.5% insider ownership but NO recent insider purchases

Many thanks in advance for your sharing your thoughts.

Q: Hello Team,

I would like to free up a bit of cash in the cash account. In what order would you sell these 4 companies? These account for only about 3% of my overall portfolio and want to free up about half of this.
