Investment Q&A

Q: In the past few months we have purchased a 3% position in LMN at a cost of 33.73 per share. We are currently content to hold these shares indefinitely. Currently LMN's parent (CSU) has about 20 million shares outstanding while LMN has about 250 million shares. As a sometime sceptic, I wonder if the creation of LMN (and TOP) by CSU is a tool for CSU to raise capital? Appreciate any comments you may have on this. Much thanks.

Q: Hi, as a follow-up to my previous question regarding a switch from Google to Microsoft. Would you expect similar returns in the near term or do you favour one over the other? Thanks

Q: Value investor with some growth, 78 years old with good pension. I am slightly overweight in financials as above. I now see that I own both BKCC and HMAX. I do not seem to need both. I intend to sell BKCC and buy AW.UN to take advantage of its current situation. Does this sound like a plan or are there pitfalls?
Thank you

Q: Good Day,

I redid my portfolio early this year based on much of your feedback. And of those picks, Every single one of them was up, most significantly so, at least once, since that time. Some have returned/fell below those buy levels.

1. DRX, HPS, LMN and VRT, seem to have consolidated up a healthy amount, do these appear to be new support levels from which they'll continue to grow? Still Aces in your books?

2. SMCI is furthest from this years high, what are the main barriers it would have to reaching that high again in the coming year? In your opinion is it likely to get there within 12-18months?

3. NXT, CELH, CDNS, DCBO, and ATS all went significantly up, and almost as precipitously down. They seem to languish. I doubled down (half to full) on CELH on the first big drop in April, which seemed worth it in May, but less so now. Do you have faith in these names still? Is their prospect for growth still the same as it was in February? Are there new names in this Growth profile (or what is was in February) that you are more confident in? With your suggestions here, please rank them with these names from highest to lowest prospects/confidence.

4. AMD. Is it worth holding the 2nd fiddle? Would it be better used in something in 1st in a different space? like AVGO or QCOM?

5. DIS. Been very up and down on this half position. Worth going to a full at this point, or would you want to see the ship righted a bit more before increasing? Would you sell a Disney holding?

AMZN, GOOG, NVDA, TVK, DRX, POWL, TCS and CROX all doing their thing for me :), suggestions other than these please.

Thanks for all you do! Please take however many credits you need.

Q: How would you rate this bond fund? Is there a better alternative in terms of performance, risk and cost?

Q: Thank you for your recent report on Pollard.
Would you be able to estimate the value of PBL should they be unsuccessful to bid on any new iLottery contracts once the current NPi iLottery contracts expire? Where would the stock trade at in this worst-case scenario, if PBL remained a classic scratch card business along with its charitable gaming part? Thank you.

Q: Following up on your excellent article comparing CASH & XBB.

I like the current 4.95% rate on CASH. '

As interest rates come down would the yield on CASH drop at the same rate ?

Thanks.

Q: RZLV (recently listed) is not yet in the 5i database. I watched the investor presentation on the company website and it seems like an impressive e-commerce related Ai offering to my naive eye.

Q: What 5 market industry sectors do you recommend for investing in now, ranked in descending order, in the USA, for ETFs that will yield 10% per year including both dividends and capital appreciation please? Same question for ETFs in Canada please?

Q: Hi 5i,

Came across this in the Daily Chase from BNN:

"Tactical Resources Corp. plans to list on the Nasdaq stock market through a merger with a shell company. After the transaction, the combined firm will have an enterprise value of US$589 million. Founded in 2018, Tactical Resources explores and develops rare earth elements — a group of 17 metals essential for defence technology, electric vehicles and semiconductors. The company will use proceeds from the deal to finance construction of a processing facility at the Peak Project, a rare earth minerals mine near El Paso, Texas."

Any thoughts on the company from an investment standpoint would be appreciated.

Thank you!!
