Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I've read the Q & A's on veev and see that it's a name you like longer term. What about the short term? How do you like it at the current price given that it's experienced a nice run in the last month or so. Does it have legs to keep going higher shorter term in your view? I bought some today and it immediately dropped and of course I'm wondering whether I was the last one to join the party. I realize you don't have a crystal ball. Thank you as always.

Q: So if one agrees that a significant US tech exposure in a portfolio seems correct but the Big 5 US mega-techs and their valuations seem scary at the moment, given the recent correction of a stock like Intel, would you recommend that this investor with a 2 to 3 year horizon buy Intel at this level, watch it for a while and see how it settles in, start a partial position, consider other tech companies (such as what?) or continue to build positioning in the Big 5 and not focus on their valuations??? And perhaps a comment from you regarding what you would advise this concerned investor from a safety perspective regarding some of your favourite tech growers that have even higher valuations (Docusign, TTD, Team, etc.) - what is your recomendation and opinion in the context of this question comparing adding to those growthy tech names versus an Intel or a Cisco type tech purchase. I guess in essence I want to know whether you think the extra risk at this time is warranted over that term. Thank you for your anticipated helpful response - Ken

Q: Nextech NTAR had quite a run today. I noticed they made a request for the stop trade and shortly after that they made an announcement on their pending earnings results. What is your take on the sudden turn around from the past 2 or 3 days.

Q: Hello
Looks like the CDZ dividend for July 2020 is going to .074 from .104 the months prior.
Thinking of moving to SCHD for more US exposure and I can use the loss on CDZ for taxes
I thank you for your time.
Sincerely
Mike

Q: With Tesla hitting 4 quarters of profitability along with the other criteria, they are now eligible for consideration to be added into the S&P. I understand the S&P committee meets on a quarterly basis to rebalance the index, and the next meeting is scheduled for the third Friday in September. What is the time frame post the Sept meeting we can expect an announcement to be made that Tesla is to be added.

Q: If you had an all equity global portfolio with a 15% weighting in Canadian stocks, what names would you choose and in what weightings?

I'm assuming it wouldn't make sense to include all the names from one of the 5i portfolios because many of the positions would be very small in the overall portfolio. I understand an etf would make sense here but I like to avoid the energy sector and that's tough to do with liquid Canadian etfs.

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,
In a recent answer you rated VEEV higher than AYX. I have a half position in VEEV and a full position in AYX. Based on your rating should I trim AYX and add to VEEV or is there not enough difference between their respective performances to warrant such a move?
Thank you so much for all you do!!

Q: Hello 5i,
Back in 2008/09 the Fed and Central banks around the world flooded the system with liquidity to avoid a meltdown. I remember hearing MANY pundits warning of runaway inflation as a result of these moves. Fast forward to now and I'm starting to hear much the same.
In your opinion, is it likely to be different this time? Will we get runaway inflation? Or will it be more like 2010-2019 with muted inflation at best?
Thanks for your insight!!
