Investment Q&A

Q: Can you please explain the difference between these two companies? There is a big difference in price and targets Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,
Can you make a few suggestions on EFT’s that could be used in constructing a portfolio for an RDSP investment account covering Canada, US and International with a 20+ year time horizon?
In addition to your individual suggestions what are your thoughts on holding a world ETF like XAW from a tax efficiently perspective within an RDSP account for world exposure?
Thanks,

Q: Re: Dustin's question today on a good place to park some cash - Tangerine Bank (a subsidiary of BNS) is still offering 2.1% for 5 months if you open up a savings and checking account (Max is $1 mln). I am building a house and have and set up accounts in October - very easy to do and transferring cash back and forth (to RBC in may case) is very easy. Only small issue I have encountered is the $50,000 daily max for transferring funds back to RBC.

Q: I am moving my TFSA (~$75,000) from a mutual fund company to Questrade and would like to invest following your 5i Growth portfolio. My horizon is 7 to 10 years. Being a new DIY investor, I am not sure of the number of stocks to purchase based on the size of my TFSA. Could you please suggest the number of stocks to buy, and a cross-section of specific growth stocks at this time? Thanks!

Q: Can you please provide your top three Canadian or US small cap names for growth, along with a quick blurb on each re: their risks and opportunities? I have no sector preference and very high risk tolerance for this investment. Thanks.

Q: I think its in my interest to increase amount my RIF annual withdrawal and transfer the unneeded portion into my available space in my TFSA for investment. Do you agree? Art

Q: With the demand most likely increasing for rare earths and other precious metals, especially as more EV production will be coming on line, do you see this ETF as a good way to have some interest in this sector. It seems to have diversified holdings. with approximately 46% of the holdings in the Chinese companies that currently are the dominant market players.. I like that Australian companies are also well represented. Is this a worthwhile, growth oriented investment ?

Q: Can you please give me your view on these two stocks. There has not been too many questions on them on your list.. Speculative, is there a future, etc.

Q: Looking at there announcement yesterday, do you see enough to start to get them out of the dog house. Or will that not happen until dividend is reintroduced?

Q: Recently in response to questions, 5iR provided  target sector weightings for a dividend conservative portfolio and also for a balanced portfolio.
For my income portfolio, with a target sector weight of 10% for Communications, I have a position of 3.50% in BCE and, for health care, with a target sector weight of 10%, I have no positions. What are some Cdn and US stocks and ETF, even in Cdn dollars, would you suggest I consider.

When it comes to the balance portfolio, the communication target sector weight of 5%, I have at position of 3.00% in Telus and in the case of health care, with a target sector weighting of 10% (say in US stocks), I hold no positions. Again, what are some US stocks and ETF, even in Cdn dollars, would you suggest I consider.

Yes this is two questions in one...so please deduct two credits............Again, Thanks........Tom

Q: Hi 5i Team, I already have a full position with Ray/A.TO holding it for a year now, recently it had a breakout at SP $7.27 (increased holding from 5% to 10%) my technical indicator shows a price objective around sub 9.00 which gives a 25% move. Needed your fundamental input to its upcoming earning expectation, debt and business prospects post covid...Thanks

Thank you for your reply

Q: I have held LSPD and GSY for quite a while now in an RRSP and RESP respectively with still 10 plus year timelines on those portfolios. I purchased LSPD at about $33 (it's now around $90) and GSY at about $50 (it's over $100 now) and I have taken some profits out along the way. Do you see these two continuing to do really well? I'm wondering if you would recommend just holding onto my remaining shares for the foreseeable future (say another 1-3 years) or would it make sense to sell while ahead and put that money in something with a bit more growth potential? THX, Jeff

Q: Could you comment on Emerge Ark Geonomics Biotech etf? Is it a buy at this time?
Thank you for your consistency in answering all the questions you receive. It keeps me from not impulse buying or selling.
