Investment Q&A

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

Q: Was listening to some podcasts on clean energy and it was noted that Canada has some of the best battery recycling in the world. I found the above noted company and was wondering your thoughts on it as an investment or if there is another company in this space you might consider.
The speaker also commented that Canada is in a good position to capitalize on clean energy but needs a national strategy or we will just end up sending the raw materials to be processed elsewhere missing out on value added economy.
Do you have any suggestions as to companies that may be on the way to achieving this?

Q: Lately I have noticed a number of questions regarding P/E. Most sites quote TTM (trailing 12 months). While valuable, you have mentioned that you find "P/E-forward 12 months" to be more helpful. I believe the 5iR company data page shows TTM.

Could you consider, in one of your next website updates, including P/E-fwd 12 months? If yes, great. If no, can you provide a website that does show this number.

Thanks for your help.....Steve

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

Is there a smart way to hold investments denominated in Swiss Francs that generate yield?

The goal is to diversify some funds to currency in a stable country that isn't printing money unabated like in Canada, the US, and the Euro to avoid loss of purchasing power. Even better if we can be invested in decent stocks or get dividend yield while we are at it.

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

Question regarding Well. Do you possibly have any info. (or know where we could find any info) on how their purchase of CRH Medical is going?

It seems like CRH's CEO (Tushar Ramani) left the company last month (Dec). Is there any information explaining this and/or any information relating to their revenue trends?

Thanks very much!

Q: Hi 5i
You have mentioned in previous responses that REAL should/could be taken private. If this was to happen, what happens to shares holders and what do you think share price could be worth if this was to happen.

What do you think odds are of this happening?

Previous answers you have clearly stated you could not endorse the company heading into earnings....In your opinion at this point, down -68% would you continue to be holders or rushing for exits ?

Thx

Jim

Q: As a long time member it seems to me previously 5i indicated a 1% position was too small to help performance in a portfoilio. Lately you have been adding 1% positions, why the change?

Q: Looks to me that it's time to start looking in the 'bargain bin' for some heavily discounted companies. I like to find good solid companies that have been taken down with the market but through no fault of their own. They also are so good at running their businesses that I need to wait for times like these to purchase them. I'm an investor who can accept medium risk and dividends are always welcome. Please focus on Canadian companies.

Q: I read a lot about the Market online and through the media and I am seeing numerous who have claimed to have predicted such downturns as the 2008 and 2020 and who are saying that this one will be 30% plus before the end.

There have been a lot of downgrades lately and most recently being AMD and XPI. What is your take on this?

Thanks so much and hoping to get some insight into what is going on now.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Jeremy Grantham in an interview on Bloomberg said he is certain of a coming crash in financial markets. Given the fact that he has been right in calling the Japanese bubbles in late 80s, the tech bust in 1999/2000, the housing bubbles in the States in late 2000s, I would like to get 5i's take on his call.

(I understand that he has been a shrew investor for 50 years and a crash caller for just as long. I suppose if you keep calling for a crash long enough, eventually you're going to be right on a few occasions. Just my thoughts).
Cheers,
H
