Investment Q&A

Q: Could you name 2 or 3 Canadian company's that have constant high buy backs on their stock this year?

Any you would consider buying?

Thank you.

Q: Good afternoon,

I have been purchasing ISRG on its' slide, taking advantage of lower price points then stopping a few months ago at 1/2 a position.

You provided some comment on the company last week, and I would like to follow up

- below what price do you view ISRG stock as a clear buy opportunity?
- would you buy in small bites if this decline continues or at this point hold until something catalyzes the stocks rise?
- what are the factors causing the continued downward drift at this time?

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: I have a question about 442
why is ISRG down so much? thanks Richard

Q: In my USD Rif, I have a small number of blue chip dividend payers. I want to reduce single stock risk and diversify across North American and International.
Mandate is, 4% plus yield, low Mer, Large market cap, lower volatility, and Capital preservation more so than appreciation. With respect to these (leaning toward Jepi vs Spyi), do you have any concerns holding over the long term

Q: SpaceX recently bought Echostar, along with 50 MHz of S-Band spectrum in the US. E. Musk is saying it could be the next wireless carrier. If that is so, what is the risk to companies like Telus, Bell, AT&T, etc. And what timeframe might be involved? Thanks very much.

Q: I've held these for several years, except for BEP.UN which is little over a year, I've accumulated dividends in LRSP, RRSP and TFSA, and want to add to these and keep over long term, wondering if you would be comfortable doing so generally speaking.

Q: Hi,

Can I have your three top picks for industrials.

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Hello

i would like to get your opinions on what investors should do given possibly an inevitable market correction.
many portfolios have gone up over 25% this year, which likely is not sustainable

should we move to bonds, if so where etc

Thank you in advance

Q: I note that you have trimmed WELL and are adding CPH. Can you provide a bit more color on CPH. There are few questions in your database and the most recent mention by you has it well down in a long list of companies with growth potential so it is curious to me how it made it to your most recent add list. Many thanks. I too have grown weary of WELL so the might be a good time to move on, to CPH? Thank you

Q: This Tom Lee run company is modeled after Mr Saylor's MSTR but is based on ether instead of bitcoin. I own a small position in BMNR which though volatile is currently up from my entry price. You explained the value reduction of MSTR in a recent question based on competition. You referred to the investment approach in its current circumstances as "Ponzi-like." Could you explain your view on BMNR and whether it too has a Ponzi-like set up. Also if you held this equity would you sell and instead hold an ether ETF as a "safer" way to invest in ether as you recommended regarding MSTR and investing in bitcoin or is there a distinction between MSTR and BTMR such that you would continue to hold the latter. Appreciate your response.

Q: Hi 5i,
If Sunoco buys Parkland, does it (Parkland) become a foreign holding(US).It was bought on the TSX a few years ago as a Canadian company and would this then become an American company?
Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on Kinross for a gold play?

Q: I have owned MRVL since the early days of the tech growth story. I felt it would be one firm that could grow their business exponentially as the tech story evolved. That has not been the case.

I would appreciate your opinion on MRVL as a future growth story, or should it fail to hold up to scrutiny, what 2 firms would fit my involvement in the story (if any). I hold NVDA, AMD, CLS, ASML, MSFT and PWR as representative of the buildout of the AI/Datacenter environment.

Thanks, as always, for your comments.

Q: I have owned ALNY for a couple of years now and it has done very well. As there are no other questions I assume you likely don't follow it. It recently spiked up again and I'm starting to get worried that I should sell some. I realize you can't give personal advice. However, can you provide me analytics that would help me to make a more informed decision. Thanks.

Q: Should we be adding to Intact Financial given recent price movement? It's down from the highs. It's 3.8% of my portfolio at this time and I've been following the BE Porftolio since it was introduced shortly after 5i started.

Q: Good day, 5I Can you please give me tickers for Agriculture ETF's with a good dividend, if possible. Thank you.

Q: Between ALAB and VRT which do you think will perform better for the next year?
Do you see either declining for the year?
Thank You
Peter

Q: ZAG is only 3 % of my investment portfolio. I am wondering if I should add more or sell and use the money to increase the weight in the other ETFs I owned. I have been in a loss position for a while and just wonder if I should continue to hold it. This is the only income ETF that I own and is inside my RRIF.

Thanks

Q: I've held MDI for some time (years) - thinking when gold and metals market move higher {which they have done) , MDI would be a leveraged 'picks and shovels' way to play the sector. That has not occurred, and recent quarterly results seem underwhelming to me. Your thoughts on both the results and my strategy.

Note: A couple of years ago I added AEM/NTR to bolster my materials weightings so do not need MDI in my portfolio to cover material sector.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and great service.

Glenn

Q: What are your thoughts on Alkane Resources in general as well as specifically regarding their recently released guidance.

Thank you.
