Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have been invested in EAF for a few years now (currently down a bit). It seems like they are making good progress in paying off their debt and over the time and the overhang of Brookfield selling off its stake is decreasing. I am fairly patient on this one and I am likely to keep being patient but do you see negative issues I may be discounting because I already hold it.

From my perspective they seem like they could end up with a low debt ratio and good cash flow in a few more years while the biggest risk seems to be that the long term contracts they have will not be rolled over at anywhere near the same levels.

Q: I'm down about 34% on REAL in a registered account. I initially bought with a 5 year time frame in mind. What catalysts can you think of that might be a positive for the stock price? How likely are these to occur over the next year or two? With my time frame in mind, would you advise selling and moving on?

Q: May I please get your thoughts on Opendoor Technologies? All the stocks in this group seem to have settled out and are down ~50% from their peaks. Being risk agnostic, would you prefer Zillow over Opendoor?

I like that Opendoor has housing inventory. It is unclear to me if competitors Zillow and Redfin also have inventory. I would appreciate any clarity you can provide me on that.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Q: Good Afternoon Team, Thanks for your wonderful service. It helping me build a better portfolio. I have 2 stocks in Auto space Magna and Linmar. The current market value of both is the same. I know 5I is strongly recommending Magna. I am sitting on a good gain on Linmar and was thinking about switching it to Ford or GM. No tax consequences as its in TFSA. Have a long 3+ year outlook. The rationale for the same is to diversify within the same sector from Auto parts manufacturer to the Car manufacturer and look for higher growth over the years. Would you recommend the move, if yes which of the 2 stock you prefer or would you recommend something else. I have no other holding in Auto industry.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Am I right in thinking that perhaps the market has decided that BRAG is the horse to back going forward and that EGLX isn't really in the race, or is that a too simplistic or short-sighted way to look at it, as between these two names?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Peter

Q: Hi, I have 2% position of SHOP in my TFSA while my XBC (down 60%) and WELL (down 6%) are 1% positions. I've been waiting on XBC and WELL but am also tempted to sell both and up my position in SHOP. How would you rank the three in terms of growth potential? Unless XBC and WELL are potential home runs then it seems wise to consolidate...
thanks,
Mark
