Investment Q&A

Q: For me a large individual stock position is 5-7% ..... Though I may go larger on an ETF ...... And I hold a 5.16% position in GSY ...... The question now is whether to reduce that position to my comfort level for speculative stocks { 2.5 % } or get rid of it altogether ..... The knock on both PRL and GSY currently is delinquent loans ..... So I tend to look at economic conditions that may rectify that . Unemployment and inflation are the only two factors that I see that would create that situation { a financially strapped borrower } ..... In the short to mid term I don't see the economic conditions in Canada that will help either unemployment or inflation ...... Yank tariffs are going to be a detriment to both { and we haven't even begun to see tariff effects in quarterly reports } ...... I don't see any reason the next few quarters should show any improvement in delinquencies ..... Tell me why I am wrong and should stay the course with GSY ? ...... Thanks for your terrific service ........

Q: Re: Grant's question on where to buy gold (Nov 6). I started to build a position several years ago. I found that a reputable coin dealer may be the best place to buy gold. To find one, go to a coin show in your area and talk to coin dealers to find out who they view as reputable for bullion purchases and resale.

I have found the mint's prices to be very high and the Canadian banks even worse. You can easily find today's spot gold price and the gold content of common coins on the internet.

The key thing to watch is the premium you pay over bullion value and not all dealers charge the same premium. I pay 3% on purchases but only 1% on sales back to the dealer from whom I bought the gold.

Canadian Maple Leaf coins are well recognised and easy to buy and sell. For variety you can add in British Sovereigns or some US coins. If you are not a collector, coin quality is less of an issue than just looking at price vs bullion content. If you buy fancy coins celebrating pandas, dragons or some famous guy, understand that you will pay a premium that you may not recover on sale.

Good luck!

Q: Hi team!

Both GLXY and LMN have been clobbered as of late. If you were to initiate a new position in only one with the focus on growth for the next 3 years which would you side with?
This would be for a higher risk tolerant investor.
Thanks as always for all you do!

Q: This is about the blog post Revolutionizing AI – The Powerhouse GPUs Fueling the AI Breakthrough. It's an excellent article. If it hadn’t been for Denis’s question and the link you provided in your response, I would never have come across it.
By the way, when I try to find this article myself by browsing the Blog section, I can’t seem to locate it. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Q: Hello team,

I have kept MGNI for a long time and saw my profits disappear badly. Every positive momentum seems to go out of steam quickly. It has been going down with high volume in the past 3 months. Is it time to let go of MGNI? If the answer is yes, would you sell it to add to HOOD or AFRM? And why? I am open to other growth-y suggestions.

Thanks for all the good work and support you are offering 5i community.

Q: Hello 5i,
Just a personal opinion pertaining to Grant’s question around physical silver and gold.
I have been selling some of my R.C.M. silver and gold coins into the recent rally.
Due to their purity, I have had no issues with GST/HST to date.
I would recommend buying 99.999% purity, and also to research buying options as the Mint can be expensive, imho. As well, where practical, try to buy in larger quantities, say 1/4 oz., and higher.
Finally, wafers or bars may be preferable to many Mint coins which may not provide as good a return, given that they seem to sell with a “numismatic premium” from what I have seen.
Just my “2 cents” worth….
Cheers,
Mike
