Investment Q&A

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

Q: Given the consensus opinion that rates are likely to rise, do you perceive a risk that the US dollar might spike, driving down the price of commodities, especially oil? Could a 2014 scenario be in the cards?

If the dollar does rise significantly, could oil/gas rise in tandem? Would you be inclined to position a portfolio for higher oil and gas prices in the coming year or so, regardless of what the dollar does?

Q: Hi 5i - what would your top income stocks recco be for US and CDN. Thx and stay safe! - Doug
Read Answer Asked by DOUG on October 07, 2021
Q: Hi 5i,
I have the following in a non-registered (and high risk tolerance) account:
LSPD (+55%)
GAN (-21%)
XBC (-65%)
QUIS (+21%)
AMY (+28%)
PLTR (-15%)
NANO (-28%)
OPS (+37%)
PLUG (-62%)

1. Is there any names on this list that you would consider selling at a loss and re-deploying elsewhere?

2. I'd like to buy LSPD in my separate registered account considering the sharp drop over the past couple weeks. Is there any limitations on owning the same stock in both registered and non-registered accounts? I am comfortable in my overall position so that would not be a concern.

Please deduct credits as you see fit.

(There is a chance I've submitted this question twice; if so, please answer this one. My browser crashed during my first submission and I'm not sure if the first one went through.)

Thanks for your insight,
Kyle

Q: What three companies in the growth portfolio would you have no qualms of starting a position today?
Read Answer Asked by Curtis on October 07, 2021
Q: Hi folks!

Not a question, more of a comment on the attack on LSPD.

Correct me if I am wrong, but when SHOP got attacked by citron back then, I don't recall them coming out with any statement whatsoever to defend themselves? They pretty much ignored it and went on with their business!

If that "Media clown" Cramer would have invited the CEO of SHOP to defend themselves, I highly doubt he would have gone on. Unless he did and I did not see the show? Not like I watch that hyper active show.

The best way to beat a short attack and have them go away is to post strong quarterly numbers...point final!! Isn't that what SHOP did? They kept quite and beat all estimates which squeezed all the juice out of citron! (Citron is french for lemons :)

Ignore the noise people!!

Thanks

Q: If I were to sell all or half of my shares in Algonquin Power could you name two or three good replacements. Same field but more growth oriented. Decent fundamentals are important. Thanks.

Q: If you held Facebook, would you be concerned with the revelations coming out now from the whistleblower? Are you concerned that FB is going to be more heavily regulated in the future, which will impact revenues, and therefore share price?

I have a small gain as most of it has been wiped out. Not sure what to do with this one.

Thanks

Q: hello, I'm an investor and have profited greatly from your advise and I thank you for it. however in my farming business I am facing some scary propane charges for my grain dryer this fall and was wondering if there was an ETF or stock I could buy to hedge my use this fall. I talked with my futures guy and apparently there's no affordable way to hedge at my scale.

Q: Hi Team,
I was debating whether I should sell PLTR to buy MORE of either NVEI or LSPD. Which do you see having more long term potential here? Or should I simply keep holding PLTR? It is a little frustrating watching it go from being up 14% after hours last night to only 1% as I write this. Seems like nothing wants to move the needle anymore with PLTR. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Thanks to rising oil prices, I have cashed out of an oil stock at the original price paid 5 years ago. I feel lucky to have done so as this is a sector I wish to avoid. This makes my TFSA ( small part of total portfolios and is my fun money ) 50 % cash.
Knowing that momentum is important to you, what are your thoughts on the momentum of the S&P 500 ? The growthy small caps seem to be out of favour at the moment. Do I wait until market sentiment has changed back or look at other larger growth stocks ? Your 3 suggestions for a risk oriented TFSA is appreciated. Derek
