Investment Q&A

Q: My question is about addition of cash to the balance sheet with out dilution. I have the above mentioned company in my risk portion of my portfolio. They seem to be on to a novel way to fund their mine in the form of a stream but with the help of an security token offering. so my question is if they are successful and add say $10,000,000 to the balance sheet, what should that do to the stock price. I would appreciate your insights. And any additional observations on the company as a whole.

Q: Hi 5I folks,
Thanks for a year + of perspective, insight and consistency on your approach to reporting and questions which I read almost daily.
When I decided 4 years ago to address the overwhelming position of TD stock in my portfolio (2/3), diversifying was the goal.
It was ok at the beginning but 2 years into it I was in need of some help – 5I to the rescue . TD position was growing faster than I could diversify –so it felt.
In any case I’m now on my last batch of TD to divest (13% of the portfolio), a bit of cash in the accounts (4%) and a bit of a dilemma on what to add to and if I should move from 3% to 4% the investment total for individual positions. I don’t mind having 30 + stocks all the time to deal with but I can see that may not be the case in the future. My horizon is long but with a 2/3 year scenario where I may need to switch to a more Income oriented portfolio. For now I’m comfortable with the balance. I have 50% larger cap, 25% mid to small cap, 20% dividend and 5% in speculative stocks. Normally I buy 1% at a time (one quarter reporting in between purchases).
From this list could you identify any that should be excluded or maybe does not need to be owned ? DIV and GS can wait in my perspective - best to pick from others listed?. It looks like I have 17 1% positions I can add.

WSP, OTEX, SIS, SLF, BAM.A, TSGI – 3% to 4% currently (add 1%)
ATD.B, GSY, FIH.U – 2%-3% currently - (add 1-2%)
GS, ECN, CAE – 1-2% currently – (add 1%-2%)
KXS, PBH, DIV, ET, TCN, AIF, - at 1% (add 1%)

Appreciate your suggestions and comments.
Regards.

Q: What does you guys think of JPJ. Do you think it’s still worth holding?

Now that vmd has switched to the tsx. Do you think its worth owning?

Q: It seems that GMT Capital is selling shares of HBM almost daily,
Is there a story here ?

Q: I do not have much exposure to oil & gas industry, which has been rising nicely in the past few months. I would like to use an ETF to invest on this theme. I was wondering if I should invest only in Canada or if I should go US or international. Could you suggest an ETF? Thanks.

Q: For a long term hold, would you own CSU and SHOP equally or choose one of them and if only one which one?

Q: NFI has fallen over 5% since May 22, is there something that I am missing and is it time to sell this stock?

Q: CSU has now crossed $1000!! My first purchase was at the 250 range..Just wishing I had purchased a lot more. Many Thanks to you 5i! I you can think of any other stock of this quality with potential to be a multi bagger Canadian or US do let me know:)

Q: Hi, what is the difference between Free Cash Flow and Price to Cash, thanks?

Q: In my TFSA I am thinking about swapping VMD for some additional shares in GUD. Do you think this switch makes sense as I try to keep my TFSA growing?

Thanks for your great service.

Q: Could you remind me why you decided to add Trevali to your growth portfolio? Is your thesis still intact? The stock is close to the same level that it was in early 2017, but global inventories are lower and the price of zinc is still higher than it was in early 2017. This makes me think that Trevali's stock price has more chance of going up (a lot) than to keep declining. Comments? Thanks.

Q: Any reason for the 5% drop in RHT today? Or is it just the pre-earnings jitters?

Aren't earnings expected to be positive? If so, why would price be trending down and now a drop of 5+% today?

Q: Would you be able to tell subscribers what stocks were discussed by Ryan today, May 24 on BNN? Many of us work and can't see it live.

Q: looks like aecon will open 3 or 4 points lower today.
would you buy it , only based on another suitor taking it over.
my understanding is there were 2 other offers refused when the chinese bid was acceptted.
my premise is one of these other bidders will take over aecon. dave
