Investment Q&A

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

Q: 'Liquid Alternatives' seem to be gaining some hype these days. Could you explain what these might be and if they are good investment strategy? Some examples perhaps?

Thanks for all your support.

Q: Regarding your answer to Paul's question on Jan. 04 on stop loss orders.
Ref.: "From what I recall one of the reasons 5i Research does not like to put stop losses in place is to avoid being stopped out in "flash crash" events...." You stated: "Stop limits are better" Did you mean trailing stops? Please clarify, and why you prefer these. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i team - In a recent response to my question regarding a junior resource company you mentioned that the management was good but not in the excellent range. Would you be able to recommend a few junior resource companies that in your opinion do have excellent management and/or exploration teams. I am not interested in companies that produce gold, just ones that explore for gold, silver or even base metals. Thank you.
Thanks also for the excellent service in 2018 and all the best to everyone in 2019!

Q: Hi,
You responded to Kevin yesterday that the TSX Total Return was -8.9%. I found in TMXMONEY symbol ^15NT which they are calling the total return. Using the daily chart I calculate the 2018 return to be -9.6%. Do you know why there would be a difference?
Regardless of the source, would it be possible to include this on your company pages so your readers can easily compare their total returns?

Thanks
Ian

Q: Ross Healy, on Market Call Tonight, said that Visa was way overpriced, and that he wouldn't even begin to have an interest in it unless it fell a further 40%. What is your take?
He also echoed a theme I keep hearing which I don't understand; that this market is "old". It's "old, old, old, worn out" as if the market were a human and about to keel over due to longevity. I get that boom markets don't last forever, but my understanding is they die due to weakening economic circumstances not old age. Don't they? He said that as the S&P had fallen below 2500 the next stop was 2000. What is your take?

Q: I hope you would consider telling the members your views on some “ 5G Enablers”. Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, Qualcomm might be large cap considerations. Little outfits like Inseego ( INSG) are helping Verizon rollout 5G. There must be some potential winners. Thx Frank
