Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,
Could you please comment on UCTT earnings and outlook?
thanks.

Q: I am hoping you can help with some suggestions for review for a RRIF portfolio. The plan is for one third to be invested in a 5 year laddered bond portfolio. Is it best to buy bonds or an ETF ? Please suggest a couple of bond ETF's for review.

The remainder would be invested in equity ETF's. Half would go to 3 or 4 ETF's which would pay dividends and would have some growth potential. The remaining third would be invested in 3 or 4 ETF's focused on growth.

Obviously the dividend tax credit is of no benefit in the RRIF but currency fluctuations would be a consideration.

Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Mike

Q: Hi,

Q: Clean energy ETFs. Of these three do you favour one over the other 2? Why? Or is there a better one?

Q: Hi Guys
Just curious why last March during the big sell off, XLB traded down so far. I would have though during times of crises, people would run into buying Govt Treasuries for Safety.
Also, at what yield would people consider buying back into XLB, i think the current yield is around 3.3 % My current Portfolio weighting is 2.06% and I'm down 11% you think its a good idea to increase my position to around 4% at this time. I'm also about 40% in GICs , which should perform inversely .
thanks

Q: Hi team,
I was wondering if you could briefly describe the business model of eglx. I realize it’s a gaming platform , but how do they make money, and what are their plans for long term growth? On a separate note I am a little confused as to why eglx is being compared to scr? From what I gather scr is pretty much solely online sports betting now , and eglx is gaming? Also, would eglx be one to buy right now? And how bullish are you on the name? Is it a potential multi bagger ? Thanks

Q: In a well diversified portfolio, thanks to Portfolio Analytics if one wanted to be overweight in one or more industries which would you pick? Which would go underweight? Long term holder but don't mind playing trends as the post pandemic era comes to fruition.

Q: I am up 72% on TFII in my TFSA account, the total value of this holding represents ~2% of my portfolio. The funds in my TFSA are targeted for growth and I have no immediate need for the cash so I can take on reasonable risk for greater reward with a longterm view. Should I sell my holding to realize the capital gain or hold? If you suggest selling what would you suggest as a replacement?

Q: I just sold a US stock that represents about 5% of my RIF and about 23% of my US holdings in the RIF. Income is obviously OK but some growth would also be welcome. Do you have any suggestions.
Thanks for the great work!
Bob

Q: Can I have your thoughts on ethereum as an investment. I've been reading about how the blockchain technology behind it has the potential to revolutionize the world with respect to finance, the exchange of goods and services and other purposes that are only now being dreamed up, much like the early days of the net. Take uber for instance, it seems that the need for a "middle man" like Uber may be a thing of the past if blockchain technology (and associated smart contracts) can connect drivers with passengers, etc. directly, facilitating both the contract and payment. I may have my lingo off here. I realize that it is a risky space. It just seems to me that ether has even more potential for useful applications than bitcoin which trades much higher. Thank you.
