Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello
Wondering if 5ii can comment on daily questions being answered in a consistent time window ? IS there an actual internal commitment (time or # of questions) or are both random ?

I feel since we have a signed up to the 5i paywall should we not expect to have most to all of these answered within 2hrs of market open minimum VS completely random times or 2-3 pages much later in day.

The are many FREE market emails or alike that arrive daily at the exact same time which is very helpful for DIY investors to make their research / investing decisions accordingly

IE:
Open Bell Daily or even the Motely Fool or the Pomp Letter

Q: I have a GIC maturing shortly in my RIF. Would like to keep the funds in some type of income/reasonably secure investment, but am having trouble accepting current GIC rates. I have been looking at ZAG, but admit that PAYM has also caught my eye. Could you compare these two and comment on your preference and why (other suggestions are welcome). Also, any comment on where interest rates might be heading over the next or so.

Thank-you

Q: Do you still like these two companies after earnings and see them as a buy on weakness and if so what is the main thing you like about them? If Bitcoin corrects a lot further how can this impact HOOD? Thank you!

Q: I recently transferred my TFSA to a discount brokerage. CIF843 was part of this and then converted to CIF823 (non-trailing). I believe you are not in favour of mutual funds - nor I. Your opinion of this one? And a more attractive/similar ETF? Thanks, as always.

Q: I refer to an earlier question discussing MDA's $10 million equity investment in MAXQ in which 5i alluded that MAXQ was in the "lottery ticket" category. So, I have been a fan of MDA but am now considering an exit. In 5i's opinion, is MDA's $10M investment in MAXQ visionary, or a "hail mary"?
