I currently hold the above stocks in my RRSP and have some $ to add. Given current valuations and future growth, could you please rank how you would add new money? Fairly aggressive investor with long time frame. Thank you,

Q: Hi, Richards Packaging stock has been a disappointment for past 2 years. It is down over 50%, from the high of $84 made 2-3 years ago and still keeps drifting lower. Dividend has not grown for many years and the only reason yield shows at 3.5%, as stock price has declined so much. Based on your past comments and considering this stock potential, primarily income, is it worth holding on or move to better options. Also, do you foresee any recovery in the stock price, in 2023, based on company's financials, further integration of the healthcare company, acquired a few years ago and in the backdrop of a slowing economy ? Thanks

Q: I own all of the above US Tech, except ROKU. I was interested in your answer yesterday regarding potential growth for ROKU, all things going well. Amoung these companies, is there anything you would sell to move into ROKU? I don't really want to put new money into more US Tech, but would rather find the right balance in the funds I already have there. Thanks!

Q: Hello, what do you think of PetValu? Is this a buy and if so, why? Thanks

Q: your thoughts on bmw

Q: Hi 5i Team - Trading in Sierra Madre Gold and Silver (SM - V) has been halted for many months now, starting around the time they made an announcement regarding an acquisition I think. Would you be able to find out why the long trading halt and if there is a chance of trading resuming sometime in the near future. Any other information such as insider holdings/trading, the status of the balance sheet, newsworthy projects, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Looking to see what your view is on this small caps results. From my vantage point they seem to be executing well and I am surprised the stock remains at current levels.

Q: Good evening

What are your thoughts on these two ETF's ? I see you have answered a few questions on these already. I am thinking of buying ZSP.U for a long term hold. Do you prefer one over the other or does it really matter?

My main question is with US holding tax. Back in 2017 if I am understanding it right you answered that in an RRSP ZSP.U would still be subject to the taxes. Is that still the case? I am a bit confused as all my other US holdings in my LIRA and RRSP have no taxes held back on dividends. Before I buy I want to be sure my dividend on ZSP.U will not be taxed inside my LIRA.

Thanks Jimmy

Q: Apparently, there are 11 major sectors in the S&P (Global Industry Classification Standard). Could you please list one ETF to best represent EACH major sector of the S&P? For example, would IUIT best represent the entire Info Tech sector of the S&P? It seems the SPDR funds are much more specific than the 11 GICS sectors:
Information Technology
Health Care
Financials
Consumer Discretionary
Communication Services
Industrials
Consumer Staples
Energy
Utilities
Real Estate
Materials

Thank you very much.

Q: Hi There!

I and family own CDR shares on NEO of several US companies. I thought that, as they are fractional shares of the main shares they would mostly move in same direction of the parent shares. Lately I’ve noticed quite often even though the main shares are up on a day the CDRs are moving lower sometimes significantly. I can understand a few things that may cause this such as USD/CAD FX or perhaps it’s trading volume differences. Can you please explain this further?

Thank you!

Q: could you give an in-depth analyses of GXE please.The dividend looks very attractive.
Would you be a buyer here or could you mention some better candidates in the sector.
High yield stocks like GXE are they best in a TSFA account?

Q: I've notice preferred share markets gaining around 2% in a day on a couple of occasions. Obviously somebody's loading up..question...have you noted any other sector rotations that may be occurring or that you anticipate? Many thanks...

Q: Why the dip and does it make this sto k more appealing?

Q: I have already asked a question about this security. Thanks very much for your answer regarding the payments being interest and not dividends.
I just can't understand this security. It is an inflation linked bond with a maturity date in 2040. The new year's interest rate has been announced as 13.3% based on the 100 bond price. The current face value has declined over the last week even though the interest rate has gone up by just over 2% per year. The current rate on face value of 137 is 9.7%.
I know about the thin trading volume and the potential for Constellation to redeem the bond with 5 years notice.
What am I missing?? Is there a good reason not to put a fair chunk of fixed income destined money into this debenture?
Thanks as always for your insight!!

Q: Where did you get the yield on these ETFs being 4.6% and 4.8%? My TD webbroker shows yields of 2.29% and 2.26% respectively

Q: In reference to Paul's question yesterday. That ZWU from 2017 to 2021 of that nice dividend 1/2 to 1/3 was a return of my own capital, Considering that, I'm surprised that 5I has recommended ZWU. What I thought was a very nice dividend is not. Now I'm wondering how many other covered call stocks are doing the same? The underlying stocks don't give a return of capital, right. Next I'm going to find out there is no Santa.

Q: I own the above US Stocks in my RRSP. Please rate each one as a BUY, HOLD or SELL and the reasons for your Rating.

Q: I am looking to add to one or both of BN and BAM. Do you have a preference on one or the other. I know that one is growth oriented and one is income oriented but are their present valuations similar - is one priced better than the other. Thanks.

Q: what is the current production rate? with and without Yamana?

Q: Sangoma's momentum has been downward for some time now. Is this just because it is unpopular or are there question marks around its balance sheet and its growth potential. Has there been any significant insider buying or selling the past few months. Thanks.
