Q: If one believes in the further weakening of the Canadian dollar does it not make sense to journal interlisted stocks from a C$ TFSA to a US$ TFSA ?
Thank you

Q: Hello, My wife has recently retired. She has opened a LIRA account with her pension proceeds. We are leaning towards these two ETFs for a long term hold 10 + years. Can we get your thoughts and any recommendations.
Thanks

Q: I understand that Cameco and the other major uranium producer have lowered their production estimates. As CCJ is locked into contracts they may not even be able to fulfill I don't see how they would benefit from uranium shortage. Would an investor be better looking at uranium as a commodity rather than buying a miner?

Q: Can I get your updated views of this fund. I've done well with it but now thinking of replacing it with a US small cap fund. Do you agree with this strategy?
Read Answer Asked by Brendon on April 26, 2024
Q: Just read your special report on small caps specifically Go Easy where you cite a growth rate of 17% mainly organically . Could you explain how this growth is accomplished ? To my albeit simple mind the sub prime lending market is something I wouldn't expect to expand unless economic times became perilous as well ..... A brief explanation of how this growth is accomplished across the three sectors of its' business model would be appreciated ? .....
Also between GSY and PRL at current stock prices which do you favour today ? .......Thankyou for your always sound council .....

Q: Greetings 5i Team,

Wondering if I can get your current opinion on Nextracker? Seems I may have had some unfortunate timing with my recent purchase of this company, as it's now down 26%. Is this some short-term manipulation and shorting by large hedge funds? My understanding is that it has realized big SP pops after the last few earnings releases. In anticipation of a repeat performance in the upcoming May release, might it be a good time to do some buying (ignoring the usual advice that you're not big fans of averaging down)? Thanks. Brad

Q: With US GDP down and inflation creeping up, what is the FED to do now? Cut rates and inflation will increase. Increase rates and economy could crash. Are we headed for stagflation? In these times, how should investors proceed and which sectors do well and don't do well. For a long term investor like myself, how should we position? Thoughts? I'm high on Technology, Financials, Consumer cyclical, and Industrials. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i
After earnings release today (APR 25) SP price dropped 12% .....how do you view their outlook for recovery.... is this an opportunity or is risk not worth the reward.... As usual is the current dividend safe and sustainable or is this another potential issue the company must address.

Current shareholder, but time frame is only about 2 years....trying to make decision take loss or hold... Dividend of course is important...

thx

Q: Appears interest rates have topped and will likely go down in Canada going forward, historically what sectors outperform in this enviroment? I'd assume the higher dividend payers would benefit,and am considering an out of utility etf in a cash account using debt to fund, for instance ZUW paying a montlhy dividend close to 1% higher than my Home LOC interest cost. I've used my LOC for many years funding this account and am well aware of the pro's and cons. Part of my strategy is the added tax benefit of the interest expense deduction, and would think long term should get a modest capital gain on the beaten up utilitites. Would you have a better idea than utilities, I need roughly an 8% dividend to cover interest? Thoughts?

Q: A quote from the Business Insider: "Prospective losses, refinancing woes, international contagion, and panic selling combine to create a bleak outlook for the commercial property sector."

I'm guessing the Office sector is perhaps the most risky portion, but how concerned are you about these three industrial REIT's with regards to the overall CRE outlook? PLD apparently has an A-rated balance sheet which I would guess help them survive compared to many (?) It also appears that much has maybe been priced into the respective stock prices of these.anada
