Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,

With the recent big run up and huge embedded gains in gold/silver does it make sense to even consider investing in these precious metals at this time?

Q: Hi there TXN reported yesterday. Seems they missed some of their expectations but did report a decent profit y/y and provided a postiive forecast for next year.

Can you please add some analysis to this and do you think it can run up here?

Ok thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Can I have your take on NOW earnings? Beat on all metrics it seems like, yet the stock nose dives. CNBC has a headline saying "bear market is in for software stocks". What is a person to do now when I am stuck with NOW, and all the CSU family? Can I expect CSU, LMN, TOI to sell off a bunch more on earnings when they report like NOW is doing today even though they beat? I am finding it hard to decide whether to just Hold, buy more, or Sell? Usually selling is not a good long term idea in a proven quality name, but maybe this is different this time? However selling a sector that is being oversold might be a bad idea if I am expecting to invest it in momentum names at their "highs" (such as MU) that might roll over at any time...that would be a bad scenerio. Today is an awful day. My portfolio has peaked last October and still has not came back since and continues to fall. Losing confidence in holdings I thought were all quality names..

Thanks for any input you may have,

Shane.

It's now a decision to add MDA or CGY. Both are performing well which would you choose or split the position between them both at this time.
Thanks

Q: What is your opinion on this bond ETF? Have owned this in an RSP for a very long time and it has been extremely disappointing. Would you continue holding?

Q: This fund has done well over the last few years but historical really up and down. It shows a 9% dividend -is that correct? Could you let me know how high risk it is, and if you would recommend it as part of a basket of international ETF's? Is there others you prefer that you think would do better over the next few years and any in Canadian dollars? Currently I only own ZDI.
Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i team, Thanks for the amazing work you do !
I have an 18 and 20 year old. Would like your recommendations for sticks to invest in for Growth. They invested in SBET last year but SBET went down drastically. Would you recommending selling, holding SBET? They both have 7K to invest in their TFSa’s . What stocks and proportion do you suggest? Thank you, please as many credits as needed.

Q: Hi 5i,
My CM holding in my RRIF has appreciated in value by approximately 125% (not including dividends) and my dividend yield on the invested funds brings a healthy return of 7.5%.
Without consideration for CM's weight in my portfolio, do you think it would it be wise to capitalize on some of the appreciation in value though offloading some and putting the money to work elsewhere?
The factors to consider in thinking about this question that I'm aware of are:
1.) whether CM is currently overvalued to the extent that de-risking is advisable (i.e.: is it in danger of a significant decrease that would deprive me of some of the nice profit I've made so far);
2.) whether there are suitable alternatives for deployment of the funds that will provide sufficient yield and capital appreciation over time to justify the reduction in risk that selling some CM would bring; and
3.) what those alternatives might be. (I'm well invested in O&G, pipelines, tech and financial names other than CM, but light in industrials, materials, consumer discretionary and just about everything else.)
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts regarding my CM conundrum and what to do about it.
Thanks 5i !
Peter
