Investment Q&A

Q: Hi - of these two stocks, would you be buyers of both at current prices? Do you favour one over the other or are comfortable buying both? Growth objective and held within diversified portfolio. Which of the two would perhaps have greater downside in a recession? In your mind does either have a beta higher than 1 in a mkt downdraft? Thanks as always!

Q: Hi Folks,
I have come across ZQQ and XQQ. What do you think of me adding one of these to my RRSP account. I would like some exposure to Tech and this seems like a simple way to do it OR would it be better to buy the individual companies themselves?
Thanks

Q: For readers information,I have these MMFunds in various accounts with TD.(Canada and US)There are no fees and they pay 4%+.The rate varies with todays interest rates.Same day stock or bond purchases are allowed by selling these funds.I hope this helps.

Q: Currently I hold both of these diversified metals companies (3.72% position in RIO and 1% position in BHP). BHP is a fairly recent addition. I have held RIO since 2019 and have added over time. I am questioning the wisdom of holding both companies and thinking of selling BHP (small gain) I consider RIO the best choice for a long term hold. Would appreciate your comments please.

Q: He Peter and Team: will this be a good entry point for this Co., with its book value at $9.6.
The income at 12% is certainly enticing.
If not, can you give 2 other REIT as a good alternative? Thank you

Q: How material is the ruling today om line 5 relocation by 2026?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for using options to generate routine income. So far, I mainly write puts on companies that are temporarily out of favour but that I wouldn't mind holding for a while and also collect a dividend if I end up having to hold for a bit (e.g, ENB, TD, BN, CVS). I do this randomly (e.g., once or twice a year on a couple of companies) but would like to increase the frequency. I don't have a good sense for what expiry date I should choose (I typically go out six months or more) or the best strike price (I usually pick around the current price). Do you have any good ideas for the current market that you could suggest and could you recommend a resource to do more research. I'm currently thinking of writing puts on TD, CVS, and BTI and wondering if I should scatter their expiry dates.

Thanks as always,
Lisa

Q: Any reason for the large increase today? I cannot find any news on the stock.

Q: Hi 5i,
Someone recently recommended Ewing Morris Flexible Income Fund as a solid and safe investment in the current environment. Would you concur? Any thoughts or alternate recommendations appreciated.
Many thanks.

Q: Dividends of these companies are interesting for a retiree. I have money to put in two of them. Favoring Enbridge. In between the two other two, PPL with is involvement with the LNG in Kitimat I would be inclined. TRP I'm certain would be fine except for their problem with Line 5. What's your take on this.

Q: Hi Team,

Can you please provide your thoughts on NTLA? I've held it for a few years through the ups and downs, and am thinking of now replacing it with something with more potential upside. I was thinking about TOI, but would like to hear if you have any other suggestions as well. My timeframe is 2-3 years.

Thanks

Q: hello 5i:
I am interested in the above companies, but feel both are overvalued at present. Technically, HPS appears to have a "blowoff" topping pattern while ATS is consolodating. Fundamentally, both look a little stretched as far as PE, P/CF go. The subject of growth, of course, will define future gains. From past answers, you like ATS "better" than HPS.
First, can you confirm the above deductions and do a head to head comparison of the two. Second, where do you see future growth for both, and why. HPS actually looks to have the upper hand due to the "relectrification" theme as their products might attract a larger global audience. Third, can you provide what you feel are good entry points. Thanks for this comparison as there are only funds to buy one.
