Investment Q&A

Q: You often speak of money on the sidelines. I understand the logic of this as people want higher returns and eventually get lured back to equity markets. But can you provide some granularity of where the sidelines are? Are we talking GICs, Bonds, cash, Gold, money market funds or what?
What do you think about the thesis that investments in money market funds simply never come back to equities but rather move from shorter to longer duration vehicles?
When speaking of this move to the sidelines, are we talking mostly about individual investors? And finally where is this information available?
Thank-you.

Q: how do you expect BIP to perform, now that we have more clarity (maybe) on tariffs ?
Both div at this level and share price not drifting any lower

I want to build a position in it as a "retirement" stock.
I have BIP.UN and BEP.UN at 3% each.

What are your fav options in this category currently?

JR

Q: Hello 5i team,

Could you recommend a few Canadian precious metals ETFs with a capital gains focus. I am not looking for income.

Many thanks in advance.

Q: The last earnings report was somewhat disappointing with regards to its outlook. What is your current take on this name? It is currently one of three US names I own in my TFSA. Would you recommend to hold or sale and move onto another name? If the later, what would you recommend for a purchase today (considering today's prices for an entry point).

Q: Would appreciate your current opinion on this company. Thanks

Q: This stock has been pretty volatile. Can you explain why. Is it worth keeping. Do you see any signs of growth in a year or so.

Q: this stock seems to be picking up. Is it worth keeping in hopes that it will continue to rise, or should I sell at this point

Q: Results have just been released. Please comment?
Thanks

Q: Please advise if there is any IGV and NUKZ ETF in CDN dollars.

I Hold both wants to know if there is in CDN dollars since I have funds in CDN dollars.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi 5i team,

How significant is WooCommerce’s strong global market share and zero-fee open-source business model as a long-term competitive threat to Shopify’s growth and valuation?

Best,

Q: Hi, I have a general question about portfolio management and overall positioning. I have a pretty good overall diversified portfolio with quality names that are often discussed here, though I don't really hold any names in utilities or materials. I'm early 40's and generally on the growth side of investing. My highest sectors are tech (27%), Financials (19%), Industrials (14%), Cyclicals (9%) and Energy (8%). My lowest sectors are Staples (5%), Health care (5%), and Communications (4%). Crypto is at 4%. REITS zero as my house is paid off.

How often should we re-position sector allocation in a year for our portfolio? Is it once or twice a year? Quarterly? I'm not talking about big sector changes but small adjustments such as trimming tech and adding to other sectors. Some of these market rotations happen quickly in the market. Its not a question of IF a correction will happen, but more WHEN and how to be prepared for it. What is the best way to capture upside vs downside protection? What are some key metrics to look at in our individual names? Gains have been good the last few years and I've been around to experience many crashes over the last 25 years since University and have learned a lot about holding quality long term compounders. Thank you!

Q: Any reason that Berkshire Hathaway don’t buy back due to the stock price still too high?

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please and thanks.

Q: What are the risks to investing in this company's 9% newly issued preferred share dividend Mr Saylor seems to explain is backed by his company's bitcoin holdings. He claims there is $5 of bitcoin value in backing of the dividend for every dollar invested. He's rather slick and bright but reminds one of a snake oil salesman of the past. Is this anywhere close to a sleep at night 9% dividend holding? Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on BIPC earnings. Please advise if I should add on weakness today or what price do you consider as great buy.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Leviathan gold has not traded in a while ,tried phoning and just get a basic message . Have you heard anything?

Q: I am a Cyberark shareholder. Would you kindly provide your thoughts on Palo Alto’s takeover proposal including the deal structure (2.2 Panw shares and $45 cash). I find it odd that Cybr’s closing share price today ($411) is approximately $16 below the value of the Panw offer (Panw closed today at $173.60).

Q: Ferrari has taken a big hit today. Is it time to get out or is it a buying opportuniy?

Q: Hi there, why is LULU stock so weak?

Are their any other underlying issues to be concerned about other then tariffs?

When do they report next, and what is expected?

Is this a good entry point, or do you see it getting even cheaper still?

Thanks!

Q: I have some money avalible for a long term investment in my TFSA and was thinking of adding to Crowd Strike or starting a position in Palo Alto. Crowd strike has done very well but looks more expensive on a valuation bases. what would be your advice?
