Investment Q&A

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

Q: With the market down, Amazon looked like a possibility. When I searched for Amazon, this came up: AMAZON.COM CDR (CAD HEDGED) ( AMZN : NEO )

Could you tell me what this is? If it is legitimately Amazon, is it worth considering? Is NEO new exchange? Would it be wise to buy on NASDAQ?
Thanks

Q: Hi,
The recent questions on paying income tax on capital gains now, in case the inclusion rate rises, mention a 30 day buyback period. I thought this 30 day wait before repurchase was applicable to capital losses only. If I sell shares and realise a capital gain, I don't have to wait 30 days to buy the same shares back. Is this correct?
Thanks

Q: Is there an explanation of why the 4 year revenue growth is so different between BIP.UN and BIPC? Here is the data I get from RBC Direct Investing for 2017 to 2020:

BIP.UN: 3,535.0 | 4,652.0 | 6,597.0 | 8,885.0 for a 4 year CAGR of 26%
BIPC: 1,323.0 | 1,561.0 | 1,619.0 | 1,430.0 for a 4 year CAGR of 2%

Of course the amounts are going to be different, but I expected the growth to be similar between the two. Whaaaat?

Thanks.

Q: A great service could please recommend your top 5 helium plays. I think if you look into it you will see a diminishing supply and an increasing demand. In interesting and growing industries microchip production, medicine and outer space. Could you let me know when you will cover this topic.
I currently like Dme, heli and RHC. Dme seems to be way ahead and an Esg type company. Keep up the great work.

Q: I see the indexes rising inexorably while much of what I follow and should otherwise be supported by emerging policy wallows, from which I conclude that the market is very narrow - that those doing well and driving the indexes are a small portion of the whole. That is very frustrating especially when the outperformers role/function is not clear. Do you think you could address this? From my point of view the indexes simply do not represent the majority of investment sentiment.

Q: My recent question about defensive growth stocks - let me rephrase it as I was after growth in defensive sectors . In defensive sectors I would appreciate your advice on top 3 growth stocks within each sector for 5-10 year hold. For example, in staples sector, could you advise top 3: COST, ATD, MED, CELH, PEP, MDLZ, BYD, DRVN, MNRO, or others. For Utilities sector, please advise top 3: for example, BEP, BIP, RUN, PBW, ENB, or others. For REITs and Telecoms, same. Please deduct requisite points.
Thank you..

Q: Good day 5i team:
I've looked through the archives for specific info on CJT's fundamentals but don't see much.
Can you provide a more detailed view on key fundamental metrics. Especially interested in their current debt levels and most recent trends in that part of the equation.

Many thanks for your help.

Q: Crypto currency seems on the rise. Good short article today in Barron's. This is a real threat to visa and mastercard business models. I would not want to own those stocks. On the other hand, Versa bank (vb) should benefit and they are about to get us broker coverage with their pending Nasdaq listing. It could see a huge increase in share price. Gosh the company even makes good money.

Q: Good morning 5i team,

Thanks for the amazing platform and service.

Would you invest in gold stocks in the current market and world environment?

My position in precious metals and materials is lacking. This is something I normally purchase cyclically and sell when necessary.

If so. What would your top rec's be?

Thanks a ton!
