Investment Q&A

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

Q: We hope to (should) be debt free by the end of May this year. I will receive a substantial inheritance in June. We have zero investments outside of our property/business.
My wife and I operate a guest house and live on the property (mortgage free). This business provides us with enough income to live the lifestyle we choose. We are in our mid 40s with no kids.
I will be looking to invest $300,000 in the market that will remain there for at least 20 years. I will reinvest all dividends.
Please provide the 10 names you would purchase if it was your money. Any other advise is welcome also!

Q: Good Afternoon,
Is there a copper only ETF or just the blended base metal exposure like ZMT and XBM?
Thanks

Q: Hi,

I am 100% satisfied with my 5i subscription even though I do not use all the services and use mostly the question database for my sourse of answers. I recommend you often. Keep up the great efforts. Being overweight CSU helps - thank you).
My question on New Flyer is that I have no exposure and am getting ready to press the buy button. The long term chart has shown substantial weakness since 2018, since your last report was released. Has there been and substantial change that would allter your rating or view on a purchase today. I am looking at least a 5 year hold. Thanks so much ! Jim

Q: These ETF's have done well in the recovery. Too bad I missed it! Do you think they can keep going or should one wait for a pull back? Or would it be better to buy 2 or 3 specific reits? Wife's RRSP 5-10 year hold. Thanks

Q: Hi Team,

I love the work you do. I was just wondering what you would recommend purchasing when KWH.UN gets bought out? I am looking to replace it with another utilily. I owned Enercare, but when that got taken over I didn't replace it with another utility (but a bank stock). I am really looking for a good utility company. My investment style is that I try to be balanced. I like a combination of growth and dividends and hold my stocks for a long time. If you currently like a few, could you rank them in order and tell why you like them?

Thank you for all your hard work,
Terri

Q: Do you know when the Lightspeed IPO will happen or what would be your best estimation. I cannot find any specific information on the date. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

Could you provide a short comparison of these 3 companies, how they overlap and differ?

If one has investments in SHOP and SQ would they "supersede" Lightspeed, or could they compliment? When does Lighspeed start trading?

From my preliminary research Lightspeed appears to be a combination of both SQ and SHOP where they provide POS payment systems with the ability to create a webstore (but seem more focused on brick and mortar vs. Shopify being more online)

Thank you!

Q: I thought their year end numbers were quite impressive and if sustainable, the stock seems undervalued. What comparable company would you suggest to determine it's current value? It's small float and small capitalization may restrict the share interest to retail investors, at least for now. The increase in credit from their lenders was and is a sign that business is improving.

Q: Telus and BCE. TransCanada and Enbridge. I generally try to aim for 5% per holding but I had a concern of too much overlap of these respective stock pairings, so I've reduced the total of each pairing to 8% from 10%. Is this still too much? On a the other hand, would 5% of all four make any sense? When it comes to diversifying in Canadian bluechips, variety is unfortunately limited if one wants dependable dividend growth.

Thanks.
Jim
