Investment Q&A

Q: Investing forums are great places to have a respectful and civil discussion/debate with fellow investors. It’s a resource that seems to be underused by 5i members, possibly because it is difficult to navigate.

Are there any plans to make the 5i Forums more use friendly?

Now a user has to open each subforum to see if anyone has posted or replied to a post.

There is no way of knowing if someone has replied to a post.
It says This forum supports BBCode tags. But only a few. There is no easy way to quote a poster or part of a post so that other posters know who or what you are replying to.

I’m new to 5i so maybe I’m missing something. I’m looking forward to exchanging ideas on investments, investment strategies and portfolio management with other members.

Q: could you kindly comment on this industry as well as the company thanks

Q: I've heard from acquaintances in the industry that the price of lumber is going to remain high right across Canada, similar to Summer 2020. Is it the same in the US? Is Trex a good cyclical play for Spring 2021? Buy/Sell/Hold?
Thank you, Ian.

Q: Do you have a positive outlook on Major Drilling ?
With an increasingly positive spin on commodities
specifically metals for this reference, seems to me to be entering a secular bull as society tries to accomplish a greener world , that will require a lot of metals.

Q: What is your opinion on this company?

Q: Hi : I recently sold my TD shares, I do not think there is anything wrong with TD, but I noticed that some stocks like TD are above the value they had before the pandemics hit. Noticed that beta for TD is 0.86. It is hard to believe that the economy is in better shape today than before the pandemics. I see quite a number of empty stores at my local mall. BCE has a beta of 0.31 with a good yield and a low price/cash flow ratio. Would you agree that BCE is safer than TD if the market has a correction ?, I am retired and safety and income are more important than growth . I have no exposure to telecoms now, and still some small exposure to banks through BNS. If BCE is not super safe , could you suggest another one ?
