Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good afternoon, 3 questions...
Could you please give me your thoughts (after one public quarter) on Jfrog for a long term hold for growth?

There are lots of great new companies out there and only 1 public quarter for them. How would you rank the top ten “tech” stocks that had a IPO in 2020?

Your new USA fund forgive me if this is elsewhere but does this affect your answers or ability to answer any USA stock questions or does it not impact the current/past services? As I find your USA recommendations to be extremely valuable as a Canadian investor.

Thank you!

Q: Dear 5i,
For relatively safe income would you invest in either AD.UN or DIV today?
If yes, would you purchase in RRSP, TFSA or NonReg account?
Is 100% of the DIV income eligible for the dividend tax credit?

seasons greetings

Q: Good morning, I have a watch-list of vaccines, but it seemed like such a gamble in the past months, I didn't invest in any. Now that some are successful, I would like to have a position in at least one company. I've named a few above, but there are more. With the goal of growth in the next 1-2 years, which one or two "vaccine" stocks would you choose, and what percentage of the portfolio would you suggest as investment size. Thank-you.

Q: hello again

For my non canadian and non USA holdings, I have relied almost exclusively on VEA for the last two years with ok results. I'm wondering if the Asian markets ( China, Taiwan, Japan in particular) won't fare better in the coming years than will many other geographics. Do you think it wise to switch to a different ETF and if so, which would you suggest? thanks. Al

"Under the deal announced on Tuesday, shareholders of TORC will receive 0.57 Whitecap shares in exchange for each TORC share, representing a discount of about 4.3% "

What is your opinion? Is this a good deal and should I continue to hold my position to receive Whitecap shares or sell and move on or does Whitecap present a good opportunity?
What is the likley hood offer could improve?

Q: Hi there,
So another stock that's popped up on my radar thanks to Twitter. KBNT - have you heard of it? Any thoughts on it? Currently have a small holding in my TFSA, shall I add? Morningstar thinks its under FV. Many thanks as always.

Q: Hello Peter,
With Xebec's bought deal at $5.80 per share with latest acquisition of Hygear, why are investors paying over $7 today? What am I missing? Would green renewables be a good bet given what is happening to Xebec? Also, why is Score dipping given the positive news on its outlook. Also, is good natured products a stock worth dipping into ? Thanks very much.

Q: Hi 5i,
I am looking for the best options for gaining CAD-denominated exposure to the major companies in the chips/semis space. What might be the best ETF options and what would be their proportion of exposure to that sub-sector? If not ETFs, might there be a more effective way of obtaining the desired exposure while staying in CAD? I’ll mention that I already have positions in PHO and STC, although obviously they are not quite the order of companies I’d be targeting with this question. Thanks!
