Investment Q&A

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

Do you know anything about MEA Energy Investment? Successful investing record? Passive/active? (Any history of buyouts?) AND - do we know what they paid?

Q: Hi,
I have many of my stocks enlisted in DRIP. I am a long term investor and don't need to draw on any of the dividends right now and have a well diversified portfolio. What types of stocks would be ideal or better to enlist as DRIP? Growth stocks don't really pay dividends so we can probably ignore those. Comparing stocks such as AQN, GSY, SIS, ECI, SGY, etc..how would you rank them for DRIP or would they all be fine?? I have many stocks that pay decent dividends but I'm trying not to continue to drip in losing stocks where I can invest those dividends elsewhere.

Thanks, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Q: Myokardia
Hi team, I am up on this stock significantly, I bought this stock couple of years ago after watching lot of insider activity.
But is this company worth holding on to or take profit.
I have been a member since July this year, your service and expertise is unmatched. I am beating myself for not knowing 5i all these years.
I would have been much much ahead.
I wish you guys a very merry Christmas and great holidays..

Q: I am considering tax loss harvesting in these companies from my non registered acct.
FIH.UN down 18%
CVE down 22%
CGNX down 13 %
SQ down 24%
Are these companies sells? Which companies would you recommend replacing them with so I don't miss any possible rebounds. OR is it time to move the money to different sectors with better opportunities for 2018. OR these stocks are poised for a quicker rebound and should be held onto?
Looking for guidance here and greatly appreciate your help.

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and company!

First off, congratulations on the Balanced Portfolio once again beating the TSX Index! Not an easy feat, since typically most paid money managers cannot.

Looking at 2018, with the U.S. tax reform Bill likely becoming a law today, what stocks covered by 5i benefit from a lower U.S. corporate tax rate and immediate expensing of capital purchases?

Happy Holidays to you and your family,
Angelo

Q: What did you think of EA last earnings report and would you consider buying it now that it has taken a bit of a dip? Also, do you consider it a 'gaming' stock or a 'tech' stock or does it fit into some other category?
Thank you.
