Investment Q&A

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

Q: BCE has given up much of its post-dividend-cut rally - not to say that the cut was a bad idea, and maybe there's a support level lurking somewhere here. At the same time, I find myself wondering just what BCE's value proposition could be, now, to make it more attractive than T (or, for that matter, BNS or PPL, which offer similar yields)? Put another way: if investors have no reason to buy BCE other than income, and if declining interest rates are the only meaningful catalyst for share price appreciation, then, post-cut, isn't it at least as likely that it will continue to decline?

Q: Good Afternoon Team 5i,

Are you watching the US30Y? I’ve heard that the Trump administration blinked on tariffs initially when it hit 5%, (and the bond market is the more important market to watch this presidency.) Thus, if the US30Y gets up to 5% again this is something to keep an eye on and watch how the market reacts.

Do you feel this narrative potentially holds some truth? If so, would you please explain why the administration would want to keep the US30Y below 5% please?

Thank you.

Q: Given that the US$ has fallen lately and Trump would like it to fall further in value against other currencies, would you consider it wise to take some US$ profits off the table?

Thank you,
Mike

Q: I know 5i doesn't like to give out portfolio weighting advice so I won't ask .... I'm considering increasing my position in GDXY to 10% { from it's current weighting of 4.72% } . With the US dollar on a rather steady decline, and Powell unable to lower rates due to tariff inflation .....I think the outlook for gold is positive .....

First given the first two facts would 5i consider this a conservative , moderate risk, or risky approach ? ..... And second what dollar amount would gold have to drop to take me out of the black of that currently 42.3% dividend {That yield is from TD Waterhouse feel free to correct it if it is wrong } ..... ? In spite of the recent drop from my purchase price { down 11% } I am still way in the black collecting my rather large monthly dividend ..... I would like to know how much the price of gold would have to drop to put GDXY in a negative position relative to it's current yield ?.....

Though GDXY has only existed for a year I imagine a correlation between the movement of the price of gold compared to the movement of GDXY unit price could be calculated..... I just don't know how to do that ....... Thanks for you terrific service ......

Q: First…. Thanks for getting me into this stock. I am currently looking to add to it at around $33. On my Direct Investing site PRL is considered to be undervalued with a FAIR VALUE of $222. Would you please clarify what this means. I gather it is based on earnings growth. But does this mean $222 TODAY? Or $222 in the future for example 1 year,3 years, 5 years? Thanks.
