Investment Q&A

Q: EGLX is seeing Greywood Investments , their largest shareholder taking steps to replace virtually all current directors with a slate of their preferred people at their July AGM. EGLX responded with new appointees, none from the Greywood list.
Would you provide your thoughts on this matter ? Also, how would you expect the different scenarios to affect the share price ? Thanks.

Q: Hello, what is your assessment of PMT? Would it be a good buy at this point?

Q: Which of these 3 would you average your cost down on (i.e. increase holdings at lower cost levels)?

Q: I purchased this speculative stock in Mar'22, thinking it had bottomed. Wrong again-I'm down 32%. I just reviewed their financials and still no sales, huge losses and only enough cash to fund 2 more quarters at the current burn rate. Is this thing going bust?

Q: Hi,
I plan to sell my XLRE to raise US$ to add to some of my other US holdings that have been beaten up. For another real estate type holding which do you think is a better choice TCN or FSV? This can be held for 7-10 years till retirement.
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: In your reply to the Dan’s June 27 question concerning NTR you said NTR is much larger, and much cheaper (4X earnings). When I look in your Market Data section I see no reference to 4X earnings for NTR. How was the number determined & where in the NTR’s market data do I look for that number. Thanks … Cal

Q: Hi folks
If not owned anymore, should one re enter the stock now or before the split on the 29th? What weighting would an investor with an appetite for growth as part of a balanced portfolio start at? Or should we wait for the dust to settle?
Should we buy in US or Canadian?
I did very very well with SHOP in the past....thanks to you.

Q: Today CIBC downgraded DSG to neutral. Do you agree/disagree with their reasons for down grading.

Q: is there any Canadian companies involved with rare earth mining that you would reccomend as a buy

Q: Russia's gas cuts are threatening the world's largest Chemicals Hub in Europe. BASF has said it may have to shut down plants if gas supplies fall further. Assuming this raises chemical prices world-wide, are there any public Canadian or US companies that might benefit? Is Methanex one of them?

Q: I was reading an article recommendIng these high yielding closed end funds. They appear to be blue chip. Apparently CEFs usually trade at a discount and once the market is ready to turn around they will provide additional leverage. When does it make sense to purchase CEFs when there are equivalent etfs?

Q: Hi 5i,

Who would you guess are the large sellers?
Would you consider this a buying opportunity?

Q: Could you comment on 4th quarter earnings, higher revenue and earnings. What do you see in the details and comment on future earnings.
Thanks

Q: Many months ago, everybody and their brother was predicting interest rate increases, so I sold the bond funds in my RRSP (primarily ZAG) and bought short term bond funds like ZST and XFR. And for some fun /an experiment, I bought some TBF. I try not to time the equity market (as per your sage advice), but I could not resist with bonds (because it seemed like everyone was convinced about the interest rate direction). Good news is that TBF is up 22% YTD; and ZAG is down 13% YTD, but I do not understand why I do not hear anyone promoting TBF as a solution for this rising rate environment. What am I missing? Is there a liquidity risk for sellers when the rates start to flatten out; or is there a significant and quick price plunge risk; or...??? Thanks in advance for your comments.

Q: Can I please have your thoughts, opinion on this company and would you consider it a buy for a long term hold? Thank You.

Q: Good morning team,
What are your thoughts on the financing for the completion of the Magino project? Will the issue of 400 million shares @ .45 dilute the overall share count? Will the company value increase once the first gold is poured and how would you rate this investment over the long haul?
Many thanks as usual,
Jean

Q: Dear 5i,
Do you like DHR and/or TMO for a long term buy and forget stock?
If yes, which would you prefer one or both?
Is there much overlap between these two stocks?

Q: I sold these earlier these in a panic , to avoid losing what was left of a fantastic profit : I am OK on the 30 day rule . Technicals seem to be hooking upward and this appears to be an opportunity . I suppose repurchasing is considered bottom fishing but they pass the "would you BUY this stock today?" question .... so would you ?

Q: Please update comments on KRR, what price would be a great entry price? Many thanks.

Q: I recently opened a cash investment account to begin transferring funds minus withheld taxes from my RSP. For tax reasons stocks with capital gains versus dividends are preferred. What stocks would be advisable at this time given our Portfolio is fairly well balanced re sectors and growth stocks currently in TFSAs and dividend stocks in RSPs. At this time I am specifically interested in Canadian stocks.
