Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning, looking for your input on the mining sector and in particular the companies listed above, any cause for concern with the recent stock price retreat?

Q: Hi;

Would you recommend ODV at these levels for a speculative hold with a 2 to 4% weighting? I had not heard of the company until now, but like the tie to Osisko Royalty!!

Q: I see there was today (June 17) a rather substantial shift to Growth and away from Value which I did see you acknowledge in an answer today. Can you provide some insight as to why? I'm thinking Fed, but if so, what in their comments caused that? Should these gyrations be ignored in the medium/long run? After all, it was a pretty violent switch previously but from value to growth and for an extended period. Is there logic/fundamentals operating here? It was all fine with me as I am overweight growth/tech. As an additional question, I am playing copper with FCX but I see you suggesting other stocks for a copper play, and with the copper price downturn would you suggest switching FCX for another name? As always, thank you very very much for the service you provide.

Q: I am considering entering at this point.Comments please.

Q: This stock was up sharply just before gold crashed after the Fed's meeting. I'm assuming there must have been some very positive news on the company and this may be a opportune time to buy. Do you have any information that you can share? Thanks for your research.

Q: I currently own STN and have a 45% paper gain. Do you see value in selling STN now and moving to WSP. I bought STN because i like their water management business and they we undervalued at the time.

Thanks

Mike

Q: I like the website changes, well done.
I'm starting to think about tax loss harvesting. I have losses of 15% & 20% respectively in AQN & BEP.UN (only held since early 2021).
Would you consider this short holding period too short for meaningful tax loss harvesting (i.e. being too focused on short-term movements)?
I intend to add these two (or similar) back after the 30-day period, they are part of my longer-term plan.
Can you suggest one or two replacements for the interim (or longer?). Portfolio is appropriately diversified and already includes FTS. H? EMA? BLX?
Thanks.

Q: With the website upgrade is there a blog archive somewhere? I seem to be unable to access anything prior to April 2020.

Q: Not super happy about the 2% drop in the price of oil today; however, I am a bit more mystified by the 5%+ drop in the price of XME. Is this a function, for whatever, reason, of inflation fears? Your perspective would be extremely welcome. Thanks!

Q: Hello,

Is this a expensive stock compare it to its peers? Would you view recent pull back as a buy opportunity?

Thank you,

Q: Can you please give me an update on this company. Buy, sell or hold.

Thank you

Q: Recently, the group that bought a bunch of dental practices all over Canada and put them under the corporate umbrella of Dental Corp had an IPO on TSX.

I see dentists are generally affluent and high income earners.

So buying 400+ practices and making it a big business sounds like a good idea except for the part that there is a half a billion dollar debt or so on the balance sheet.

What is your long term opinion of Dental Corp? Maybe a slow burn winner?

Thanks.

Q: Morning 5i : Your thoughts on the continual downward spiral .At 36. I am down 18%.Average down hold or sell.Is whatever going to effect NTR as well? Tks.Larry

Q: Good morning all!

While catching up on corp news I fell on this: Mission Ready Retains Integral Wealth Securities as Market Maker. Can you please explain what Integral brings to the table for MRS and if you think this is worth the $7000/month they will be paying them ?

Thank you, as always, for your great advice.

Q: If you had to pick one of these which would it be or do you have another suggestion.?This would be long term hold looking for metals exposure and rare earth metals for demand in electronics production. Thanks

Q: Hi.

I'm looking to buy between TTD or KXS which do you recommend and why?

Thanks,

Sunday

Q: Hello

Hyre up big time take some profits or continue to ride?
Appreciate the great work you guys do, thanks.

Q: I go to 5i questions every day except for yesterday the 16th due to the recommendation not to go on the site as it was being updated. Thursday, the 17th I noticed that Trade Desk in my online account was out 90%. I searched all over my online account short of making a phone call and waiting 2 hours on hold. I then search all over my online account and there was nothing pertaining to the problem. I then went to Bloomberg Markets and there was nothing there about it. About 7:00 p.m. tonight - I checked my online account and I am out 89.9% and searched back to the last purchase on October, 2020 of 6 shares purchased at $612.50 for a total of $3,684.99. I just contacted 5i at 8:00 p.m. which I am writing now and I noticed that recently someone had asked a question about Trade Desk. It would have been helpful to find information out sooner but it seemed none of my research provided it. I guess I will phone my online account tomorrow and see what they haven't picked up on this.

Q: Hi,

Congrats on the web site update! Makes it easier to navigate for sure especially when looking up company data.
Of the recent IPO's listed above, do you have a preference for one or the other or obtain a starter position in all 3? Or a different one all together?
Also, can you pls confirm the considerable drop in revenue as seen on the Company data for ABCL....or is this an error? I normally only invest in a company whose YoY growth/revenue is trending upwards...so this is a bit of a caution flag if I were to invest in ABCL.

Cheers,
SteveMc
