Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, What are the pros and cons of agreeing to stock lending in an investment account.
Does it matter if it is a registered or non registered account?

How does it work?

Is it a common practise for investment companies such as Wood Gundy to activate it in their client accounts without their clients knowledge?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Q: Not a question, just a comment - The Daily, a free podcast done by the NYT, did their daily podcast on Warren Buffett last Wednesday - it's an easy and informative listen.

Q: It has been awhile since Kinaxis has been at this level. I know that you like the company, but do you see any reason to trim or pull back at this time. I am at 5% but that doesn't keep me up at night.

It just seems they get a few good quarters in a row and then one bad one bumps them back down for a couple years and then they claw there way back to where they are now.

Thanks for the great service. Have a wonderful day.

Q: On GSY earnings . Revenue was up 10% and yet profit " fell " ..... As GSY's business model is pretty simple { earnings based on interest charged on the amount lent } Could 5i explain how if more money was taken in { revenue } how it is possible for profit to fall ? ..... It's kind of like a bank saying it lent 10% more money but somehow we lost money { profit } .... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Hi there. with the current economic outlook in the US being very uncertain and the dollar possibly weakening as the US economy struggles would you recommend any of these names? VGK, FEZ, or EZU? The idea being to build up a position of 10% of my portfolio over the next two or three quarters betting on Europe continuing to outperform the US. Thank-you.

Q: In a recent question on LLY, you said "President Trump is about to sign an executive order that would likely slash the cost of drugs (and hence the profits for maker) on a slew of popular, expensive products".

What effect will this have on the price and dividends paid by HHL.to and LIFE.to ?

Q: Back in September 2024, I had asked whether it might be a good idea to rotate from ENB to a producer like CNQ/CVE. 5i's response as the time was that it was not a fan of "fixing' things that are not broken".

This has so far been good call because ENB has faired well while the producers are hitting new lows.

My question is: at what point does the risk/reward become such that rotating into the producers make sense?
