Investment Q&A

Q: Could you share your thoughts on Chesswood Group's quarterly report released today?

How would you rate their business enterprise's prospects in the event of a recession?

Q: Thank you for the prior response.

Do you think the weakness yesterday was likely related to this?

If you didn't have a position would you consider this an opportunity or wait?

Q: Hello 5i
I am up $10,000 in the above companies and with 35 others I am up $125,000 in total in a $1,000,000 portfolio. Previously before the downturn I was up $800,000. I am a 77 year old value investor with a good pension.
Question: Should I take the $125,000 off the table, put it in an Oaken savings account at 3.4% and leave the rest invested?
thank you
Stanley

Q: Peter,

Recently I believe you referred to Credit Suisse as being a “basket case” for some time. How would a layman pick up on this type of thing. Please expand.

Thank you

Paul

Q: In feb/22 Td made an offer to purchase Fhn (who at THAT time had 55 B in loans and 75B in deposits) for 13 B or $25 a share
At that time U.S. 10 year treasuries were about 40 pts above the 2 year and the U.S. prime rate was 3.25%.
On Mar 17 Fhn was trading at $14.93 down from $21.93 a week ago and the 2 year treasury is now .57pts ABOVE the the 10 year while the U.S. prime rate is now 6.70%
Looks like investors believe Td may back out and or Fhn is losing a lot of deposits.
Meanwhile UBS has made on offer Toi purchase Credit Suisse currently valued at 8 b Euros for 1 B’
Would it not be better for Td to back out of the offer, pay a penalty and use the funds to purchase shares in Charles Schwab at a much lower price then what Td sold them for or offer to purchase Fhn at a much lower price after a NEW risk assessment is done on FHN assets

Q: What is your opinion on this new and other female ETF's

The Hypatia Women CEO ETF (WCEO) is the first ETF to focus strictly on women-run companies?

WOMN & SHE

Would you be interested in buying one of them?

Thank you.

Q: Your thoughts on AQN's latest quarter?

Also, what are your thoughts on the potential take over of AQN...any rumors out there? Last time I asked (Jan 12) you had the odds at 33% (up from 25%). I'd love to hear that your new odds are at 50%?

Thanks....Steve

Q: Took a modest position in this fund at 18 dollars. What are your thoughts for a 20 year hold for retirement income. Being a bit greedy while others are fearful !!!!!!!!!!!!

Q: Among other holdings in my TFSA I have BN, T, RY, CNR, ATD and NVDA (ATD and NVDA at half positions) all for long term holds. Given current valuations and long term total return prospects, of the listed holdings, could you rank in which order you would direct extra funds to? Thanks.

Q: Small position held. Should this be sold? What will happen to this ETF if some banks go out of business? Could this ever recover? Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan I would like to add some American names as I haven't any in my RRSP or TFSA. Which of these would be best in these accounts. MSFT, NVDA, BRK.B and can you give me one or two other suggestions. Thanks

Q: Mercedes Benz. Excellent yield , and low price/earnings ratio.
Thoughts?
Philip

Q: Good morning
I have never been too concerned about bank failures here in Canada. But the many questions about protecting one’s account has stirred me a bit and made me wonder if i am too complacent. We had our accounts at different institutions but i was happy to consolidate them with just TD. You say the best way to protect one’s self is to make sure non registered accounts are under one million. Is it worth all the trouble to do that? I know that this is quite subjective but i would appreciate your take on it
Thanks as always

Q: Greetings, 5i Team.
Two questions:
- At what price would you see TOU as a 'strong buy'?
- May I have a couple of phosphate company names that you see as credible investments?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hi 5i Team - I plan to sell most of my Enthusiast Gaming and use the money for something with a better balance sheet and a decent prospect for growth. Do you have any suggestions for stocks that trade below $5.00 including any that might be under $1.00 which is where EGLX has been trading for some time now. Any sector or market cap is fine. Thanks you.

Q: What would be a great entry price for TD? Many thanks

Q: When Lumine starts trading later this month, I will want to add to the shares that I will receive by virtue of my CSU holding. Is it your expectation that there will initially be some selling pressure and hence price weakness as investors who do not see Lumine as a core holding, sell the shares that they received? Also as was the case with Topicus, can I assume that an additional source of selling will be index funds who will be forced to sell their shares?
In your opinion, when will be the optimal time to acquire additional shares - immediately after they start trading, or gradually over the following weeks?...thanks...Glenn

Q: Could you please rank the above in terms of 1. Upside potential, next 2 years, assuming a significant recovery. 2, Risk

Q: Did Buffett just fly all the regional bank CEOs into Omaha & offer a deal to SAVE the banks?

Q: Good morning
I have registered accounts but also 2 non registered cash accounts with 2 different banks..BMO AND TD. MY TD account is well over 100 thousand dollars. Is it protected or should I divide it.? Should part of it go into a third bank? Sorry for the confusion. Thankyou as always
