Q: Hi 5i,

I've owned Kinaxis (KXS) for a long time (2% of portfolio) but I'm considering selling it and buying Celistica (CLS). Could you please comment on the pros and cons of each stock and which one you would prefer at this time for a long term hold?

Thanks!

Q: Tom Czitron had an interesting article in the Globe and Mail for January 30. Would you agree with his thesis? He concluded with this paragraph: "This year may prove to be a wild ride for financial markets. An increasingly volatile global political situation adds to the appeal of North American bonds, and mid-term government bonds may be a relatively headache free place to be. A good way to gain exposure is the BMO Mid Provincial Bond Index ETF. It covers a promising area of the yield curve with some extra yield and no corporate credit risk." The ETF he recommended is ZMP.

We have decided to allocate 80% to equities, and 20% to bonds, and would appreciate your views on ZMP being part of our fixed income holdings.

Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on BWX Technologies, particularly in relation to its small nuclear reactors technology. Do you think that there will be a demand for this type of energy source and is BWXT the best positioned company to commercialize them, or are there better choices in this field. Also are there already small nuclear reactors been built or up and running.
Thank you

Q: I own these stocks in my open account and would like to add to my investment in these stocks. How would you rate these stocks on a 5 year hold with a rating of 10 being highly recommended and purchase not recommended rated as 1. Thank you

Q: The last trade looks to be about a week ago, and TD displays a message that stock details are unavailable.  Are you aware of any developments with the company (or has it just had a week of no trading volume)?
On a related note, the company seems to rely on private placements from the chairman for a couple of million$ at a time.  With the market capitalization at $9M now, why wouldn't the chairman just take the company private and save the expense of running a public company, if it is a going concern?  Thanks for your expertise.

Q: Is DOL over valued today and still riding the pandemic spending tail wind in your view? Any idea of a “true” price today?

Q: Greetings,

My first purchase of CCL.B in May 2017 was just before the stock split. At the time it was $63.3 per share. I have earned approx $1200 in dividends and am currently down around $600 based on current share price, and up $600 overall. Can you please remind me why I should continue to hold this stock. My patience is beginning to wear thin. Many thanks and my apologies if my expectations are not reasonable.

Q: Hi 5i team,

My daughter and her partner are investing in their RRSPs through a work plan. They are in a number of Mutual funds, some with quite high MERs range about 1.5 to 2.5%. Also high redemption rates (some up to 5% in first year or two). I have tried to find the mutual funds from their statements, but mostly listed without codes so difficult to be certain of all data.

They have :
20% Balanced funds
47% Canadian Equity
13% Global Fixed income
20% Foreign Equity.

Amount invested is significant but not really high - includes 3 years of contributions/investment. I think they would be best to withdraw the money now and invest in ETFs. I don't think they need to similarly replicate the funds above in ETFs.

2 questions:

A. Any suggestions as to most efficient way to withdraw from these funds? Are there questions to ask that might help reduce redemption bite or should they just make the switch.
B. They are late 30's and 40 yo, so time horizon of approx. 20 years or more before needing money. They are interested in investing but are very early in this. Wondering what you would suggest for starter ETFs right now with bias towards growth. Perhaps you could suggest 4-6 ETFs that would give them age and time horizon appropriate investments.

Please use as many questions as needed.
Thank you in advance for your usual great service and the very helpful advice.

Q: Can you suggest other ETFs to play growth without the mag 7 -do you think AiQ is a good alternative?

Q: PRL and LMN are examples of small cap stocks that have recently moved in price to reflect their earnings and future potential. However, only after a period where their performance and promise were not yet recognized, and investment was stagnant. Do you have stock suggestions on the US and/or Canadian markets that might be on the verge of similar recognition and subsequent transition to prolonged growth?

Q: Please comment on results released today after close. It was down 6.49% to $160.90. Add,Hold or Trim/sell. Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Peter; On Kris’s question on small caps one was TYK- did you mean TVK?Thanks,
