Investment Q&A

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

Q: Is there a Canadian listed Canadian dollar ETF that holds many of your USA favourite companies: NVDA, VEEV, DOC, MSFT, AMZN etc, etc.
If not is there a US ETF that holds a concentration of some of your favourite companies? Not just a sector ETF, but more focused on your favourites. Currently I'm only invested in Canada, and I want to invest, starting small, in some of the USA companies you are recommending, but, if possible with a bit of diversification.

Or if nothing exists, maybe I should just pick two, say NVDA and VEEV and invest in those in US dollars? Would those two be top of the list? It is for a small amount, about 5% of my portfolio.

Q: I am fed up with Suncor as an investment. Been burnt so many times with this company. The yield isn't enough to keep me in the stock. Do you see a recovery? Is it already getting set up for a huge tax loss selling candidate? Any ideas of a better company to replace it with? Thanks. Maybe a renewable?

Q: Hi 5i
After listening to the infrastructure update by the Canadian Gov't this morning and the areas they addressed ie: electric buses and clean energy projects etc will be priorities, I am thinking both NFI and XBC will benefit. Your comments please and any other suggestions.

Q: i have noticed that 5i prefers JPMorgan as an American bank. I read recently that Warren Buffett has bought more of an already large component, of Bank of America., while selling other banks, like Wells Fargo. i imagine you can't go wrong on either of these two banks, but it would be interesting to know why you would prefer JPM over bac, and since you like to look at the other side of the trade, why Buffer would seem to prefer bac.
thanks as always for the great service

Q: In the non renewable energy sector I own ENB (Ok) in registered accounts and PKI in registered. Together approximately 9%.In energy sector.
When I first bought PKI I looked at it as a mini ATD. After reading recent reports on PKI ie Report on Business and other releases, it appears to be a lot more dependent on oil and gas than I thought. At the same time analysts are upgrading the stock and increasing target prices.
I’m confused. I have a feeling I would be better off investing in renewable energy. I own AQN & BEPC making up 7% in the Utility sector. According to my suggested asset allocation I’m overweight 3% in energy while at suggested allocation of 7% in utilities. What are your views on PKI, selling and moving into other renewable options.

Q: Thank you for the update last night. I was not surprised to see the removal of GC due to the COVID shutdowns. I am curious to know what the discuss was surrounding GUD and CAE before providing that update. Are these potentially on the chopping block as well or just require more patience. If you were to consider swapping GUD and CAE for something else what might you recommend in Canada and the US right now (asking about US as portfolio analytics suggests I need more US exposure)?

Thanks as always for the fantastic work you all do!

Q: Looking at the chart for PHO I note the gap up in early May. I often hear comments about stock prices moving to, "fill the gap" over time and I have never really found a satisfactory answer as to why this is thought to occur. What would your thoughts be on this gap thing?

Thanks
