Investment Q&A

Q: can i sell stock x from my non registered account and buy it for my tfsa days later
thank you

Q: My wife's non-registered Canadian stock fund is invested conservatively, primarily for income. However RY now exceeds 16% of the assets. I know this far exceeds your recommended level for any one holding, but selling some shares will generate very substantial capital gains. What is your advice in this situation? Thank you.

Q: Comment on earnings please? Market doesnt seem impressed. If it dropped below $22 is it a high conviction buy?

Q: Hi 5i,

In response to Marcel's question today:

"Do you have or know of a good website for calculating or forecasting of how long assets in a persons retirement will or should last in years?"

I've found these site good:

https://www.financialmentor.com/calculator/best-retirement-calculator

And,

https://www.dinkytown.net/java/retirement-planner-calculator-canadian.html



The first one is more flexible as you can add in holders for CPP and OAS, indexed for inflation. It also allows one to adjust GO, SLOW GO, and NO GO withdrawals.

On a separate note, can we create a specific blog for retirees? I for one are getting close and it would be nice for members to share investment planning tips.

Thx.

Q: In October 2024 in reply to a question about an AI etf you replied:

The Canadian field is very limited and all funds are too small for our liking right now. We would recommend: BOTZ, AIQ, and IRBO which are USD funds. RBOT is a CAD-hedged option and CIAI is an unhedged CAD option; both however are too small for our liking.

Is that still the case that there is only RBOT as a cdn hedged option? Any other updtes to that question: I want to buy an AI ETF.

Q: Your thoughts please on the quarter?

Thx

Q: Please update you opinion on Fierra. I Have held it since 2020. I am underwater if you look at the share price alone. However, with the dividend my return on investment is positive. The last and the latest reports are not good. Do you see anything that might change this slide? Or should I jump ship now?

Q: I want to put some money into an RESP for our newborn granddaughter. I will add some more stable growth stocks over time, but I want to start with 1 AI stock or ETF and 1 crypto stock or ETF, as the base.
These will be the buy and forget, holdings in the RESP
Can you recommend a couple US/CDN stocks and etfs in both categories, and your thoughts on whether US or Cdn currency is the better option. For a long-term hold like this, am I better to use stocks or ETFs, as the base?

Q: What's with the steep dive of DOL of almost $8 in share price in the last five days and high volumes?

Q: Folks with all the talk about the money system reset , tarif war, extreme national debt in North Amercia. threats to canadian economy, and gold becoming a tier 1 asset; how would suggest a DIY investor protect their assets going forward?

Q: Hello 5i
It's my understanding that GFL (industrial sector) was added to the BE portfolio in May 2025. Were there a total of two purchases totalling a 2.5% new position weight for that equity?
GFL's CEO is Patrick Dovigi and 5i considers it a big plus that Dovigi is also the founder of GFL.
1) can you please compare his pay package to those of the CEOs at WM, WCN and RSG?
2) in light of 2 above, can you shed any light about the governance of GFL and profitability of that company when C-suite compensation is factored into your thinking?
3)Dovigi's 2024 compensation seems out-sized by many factors. Was there a specific reason for that in 2024 or does relative overcompensation persist over multiple years at GFL?
Thanks in advance,

Q: When does Ats report and consensus earnings? Any hope for improvement?

Q: what do you think of recent results, are they good buys at these levels thanks

Q: Everyone, CSU, LMN and TOI have the same company strategy. They exist in technology but different spheres. The management of LMN and TOI came from the CSU training ground with the same skill sets as CSU. Can one assume that LMN and TOI will grow at similar rates as CSU over the long term? Clayton

Q: PNP has shot up again. In previous questions, it sounds like you have some reservations about this holding company. What are some of the risks that could possibly occur that could be troublesome? I bought 3 months ago at 12.50 and it’s at 21.16 now.

Q: Of the three stocks, which is the most promising, financially healthy and likely to produce the best returns? What time frame should one expect?

Can you deduct much from the 1.5 million shares founder Steve Hudson purchased recently?

Ok thanks!

Q: A guest mentioned this ETF on Market Call yesterday. It has a big dividend. Can you give me your opinion on this ETF? Is there a downside?

Q: On May 8th, you responded to a question from Alex about QBTS and noted several issues including it being one of the most expensive stocks on the market. Are there any quantum computing stocks that you would consider to be investable? Thanks again. Dan.

Q: Hi Peter, I have introduced some exposure in my portfolio to Maxim. I like the small cap exposure to power and electricity. The balance sheet looks pristine. Can you give me your thoughts on the latest quarter.
Thank you
