Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi,
I am trying to look at the stocks I own , not merely as 'stocks" but rather as an investment in a good business. When I look at it that why, I am inclined not to sell indiscriminately irrespective if the stocks have gone up or not. Generally, if I do sell, I realize that I had made a terrible mistake in doing so, after the fact.
To my limited knowledge I do look to 5i for guidance.
Would you consider the stocks I have listed , to be those that represent "good businesses" and that are worth holding even 5 or 10 years out?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i, my question is regarding the purchase of IPF by GDNP.
Do you think it is likely that GDNP would use IPF to expand production of their own plant based products or are they just buying sales of existing IPF products. I see the huge potential of their plant based products and increased production capacity being needed.
Thank you for your help
Dave

Q: Hi 5i guys,
I came across the ETF EDGE from Evolve that is not in your database.
It looks intriguing as a vehicle (in CDN$) to invest in global innovative/disruptive companies. Am looking at it for a small portion of my TFSA.
Also noticed that Evolve is coming out with a new ETF in the near future called DATA.
Any information/opinion on EDGE and/or an alternative in the space is appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

Q: Hi there,

DMTK I came across DermTech listening to a MF US stock advisor live session on 10X opportunities. I spent some time reviewing their most recent earnings transcript and other research and the technology for non invasive detection of skin cancer seems powerful but super early in terms of adoption (a brief excerpt is below). I am considering buying for TFSA and have the following questions:
1. What is your general opinion?
2. Do you have any information on how a dermatologist would be paid for using this test vs surgery? My fear would be that the tech is amazing but dermatologists may not use it if it would reduce their revenue

"Currently, approximately 25 surgical biopsies are performed to find one melanoma. And despite all this cutting, the negative predictive value of this pathway is only about 83%, which means the probability of missing melanoma is approximately 17%. The PLA reduces the number of surgical biopsies needed to identify melanomas by approximately 10-fold and increases the negative predictive value so 99%, meaning the PLA has less than 1% probability of missing the disease. DermTech is effectively bringing melanoma diagnosis into the 21st century by transforming it from a pathway to subjective, invasive, inaccurate and costly to one that is objective, non-invasive, highly accurate, and less costly."

Q: Hi Peter
My wife and I are fully invested in TFSA and RSP accounts. I have about $150,000 to invest. I guess I need to use taxable accounts, which I have no knowledge about.
Can you point me some good resources on taxable accounts and how to get started.
If I am already at the top of the tax bracket, is it worth consulting with a tax consultant before I go down this path?
Any guidance on approach and methodology will be very helpful.
Appreciate your great work!
Thanks
