Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi 5i Team and Season's Greetings.
Do you have any words of advice for someone who feels like they are the only person holding stocks in this market? Why is everyone selling (although there must be buyers)? This does not seem like volatility anymore and many are saying we are in a bear market, but I cannot see a good reason for that at this point in time. If the stock market is a 6 month to 1 year leading indicator, are we really going to be in this much trouble next year?

Q: With major markets around the world tanking, would 5I Research consider a portfolio of Fixed Income with Exchange traded ETF's and Bond Funds traded on the TSX and US exchanges? Like a lot of investors, 2016 has been a difficult year with many portolio's taking large losses. 5I has been an exceptional source of advice and I wish to THANK YOU for all you do and wish you and the members for Happy Times in 2019. Thanks, Bill

Q: I have some US funds I'd like to put to work in one or two of the mentioned names taking them from a half weight to a full 5% position. Regardless of sector weightings, which 2 do you like the most at current market valuations for capital appreciation over the next 5 to 8 years in a growth oriented portfolio? Thanks!

Q: I am a long term holder of CGX (retired, diversified portfolio, like the monthly dividend). I have caught the falling knife a few times on this one, as I expect a number of others have as well. The diversification story is supposedly a 2019-2020 event, but until that kicks in, we are for the most part at the mercy of the proverbial "movie slate". Now that the current new movies have hit the theatres over the Christmas period, I am wondering whether this new batch (Aquaman, Mary Poppins, etc) can be considered a strong slate or not? How do the box office numbers look and what do you think the impact might be on the next quarter or two for CGX? At a 7+% dividend, I am ok with that plus a little bit of rebound growth. I have some further top-up money set aside that could be deployed towards CGX and elsewhere. Your thoughts? Thanks...Steve

Q: May I have your opinion about the latest news, The Score launching a Mobile Sportsbook. Do you think they will expand into other States? Do you think this makes them a better take out candidate for companies such as TSGI.TO, GC.TO, etc.? I feel like there has been a lot of consolidation in this space. Thank you for your opinion.

Q: In an earlier question I think I said that Vanguard is not offering VOO but VIG in its place. In case this may consuse anyone I thought I should correct it:

“We believe the Total Stock Market Index Fund VTSMX, -1.60% VTI, +0.02% VTSAX, -1.59% is the best proxy for the U.S. market, offering exposure to large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks, whereas Vanguard Institutional Index Fund concentrates on large-cap stocks,” a spokeswoman told MarketWatch in an email
