Q: What's the scoop on this company? Never seen a chart like that. Seems like they are making immunotherapies for brain cancer? Is the hype due to the clinical trial?

Q: I own CU at a loss and am thinking of selling and buying BCE. Is this trade worth doing? Both are down and BCE does pay more or am I selling at the bottom on CU. THANKYOU

Q: Hi. My materials is a little low. I've noticed you've been recommending Teck lately. Would you consider it better than CCL? Or is the something else you prefer in materials? I already own BTO so not looking for more gold.

Thanks to you guys I've been rewarded with a 30% return this year! Best of the season to all!! Thank you for the fantastic service. I never hesitate to recommend you to others.

Q: Hi Guys
I have owned Atco in the past, and at one point replaced it with Emera that I have done well with too. I noticed today that although they have approx. the same PE, and dividend yield (both yielding about 4.7%) the payout ratio on Atco is only 36% versus 85% for Emera. I was thinking if there was an opportunity to capture a bit of value, and stock appreciation going forward I might swap my Emera for Atco. Your thoughts? Which company do you favour at this time?

Thanks
Stuart

Q: I would like to add some coverage in semi conductors. What are your thoughts on these stocks? Is investing in the ETF a better bet? Any valuation concerns with SMH? Do you have other suggestions that are not overvalued?

Q: Good morning, The year end once again brings us the many different opinions as to what lies ahead in 2021. I have read several analysts giving their overweight and underweight suggestions and am struck by the fact that some are overweight financials and utililies and others are underweight. With so many different opinions, I believe one has to choose who makes sense and once again, I choose you. In terms of sector weightings what does your crystal ball say? Of course it can vary, whether one is income or growth focused but with that caveat in mind, what do you think? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team,

Currently I own in my TFSA the following stocks: CSU, DSG, KXS, OTEX, PHO, REAL, SIS, WELL, XBC, NVDA,VALE and PDYPF (Thanks to SHOP my TFSA grew considerably)
I would like to keep in TFSA only high growth stocks. After reading some of your answers it seems that CRWD and U are good candidates to add.
Please advise which stocks should I sell or move to my cash account to make room for mentioned stocks.

Becoming a 5i member was the best decision ever, thank you for you guidance and amazing service. Reading the Q&A became my daily morning ritual while drinking my coffee.
To all the team Happy Holidays.

Q: May I have your comments on Well

Q: Hi 5i,
They both increased 100% within 3 months with the similar price and Price/Book. Which one do you think is better for the coming 2-3 years? If I can only buy one. Kindly advise, many thanks.

Q: Hi, Peter, I have watched CSU for a long time but always hesitant to finally purchase. With the spin-off date set, is it better to buy CSU now than afterwards? Is CSU a good buy at this time for 5 + year hold in a RESP?
It looks like 5 shares of CSU (1.859817814) yields 9 shares of topicus as long as the purchase is made before record date. So 5 shares might be the optimal minimum. Does the purchase have to be completed before Dec 23? Your insight on this is much appreciated!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Q: Good morning Peter and team,
I know you have answered this type of question in the past but I have tried multiple options in the Search by text function without any luck.

Do you have any recommendations for reading material for a young adult new to investing? In particular, I am trying to steer him away from thoughts on getting rich quick by picking stocks he sees marketed by youtubers or "stock gurus" hawking their ideas on the internet.

Many thanks,
Rory

Q: Do you recommend to still purchase Shopiffy?

Q: Without looking at any other factors, which of the above 3 stocks have the best potential for growth over the next 6 months and your reason for that pick.
Thank you Ian

Q: I bought a small amount of a company named Fortress Technologies that is involved in Bitcoin. When the BTC price was lower in 2019 they sub-leased their mining equipment in an arrangement that sees them retain 90% of the profit on each coin mined while the sub-lease company (WeHash) does the mining. This has become lucrative. According to a recent filing they have 163.2 Bitcoin on account which combined with cash and cash equivalent assets meant $.158 per share in tangible value. This number would now be higher with BTC having run from 17k to 23k and another month of mining. For the 3 months ending September 30, they mined 14.2 BTC worth $297,000 USD today at a cost of $10,438 per coin.

Unlike QBTC or GBTC which trade at premiums to BTC and only buy or sell, FORT is mining and buying bitcoin which seems to offer more upside. I understand that a super small cap company like this is not for everyone and that coin prices are just as likely to fall as rise but my question is whether it could be a way to profit in a disproportionate way from bitcoin as more investors look for bitcoin exposure that can be held in registered accounts? To put it another way, could this double based on people piling in and outperform increases in the coin value itself or am I dreaming?

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i Team

I have been researching the controlling (or largest holder) of the various REITS on listed on the TSX. However I have difficulty in determining the largest holder in several cases.
Some companies make it very easy (either by listing the information in their annual report) and then some make it difficult.

Are you aware of a website that lists this information or do I have to research the quarterly/annual filings and if not successful, then contacting the investor relations group at the REIT in questions.

Thanks
