Investment Q&A

Q: Thank you for your comments on the earnings report earlier today. I am wondering what your thoughts were of the earnings call yesterday? Was there anything worth noting either positive or negative in their comments? It seemed like the de-acceleration really caught management off guard. It also appears that they may be increasing their investments in sales to get back to what got them there? If so, how would this impact their next quarterly results. Is there still room for good growth through new verticals and geography? Lastly, how close is DOCU from being profitable? Would that help shift stock sentiment despite potential slowing growth?

Thanks for always for your input especially on this type of big swing stock days.

Q: Peter,
Your thoughts on Arizona Sonoran copper please.

Thank you

Q: I understand Converge acquired many companies to allow for wide geographical coverage and raised money a few times already. What's expected to be their main driver for revenue growth in the next few years (they seem to have a wide range or products)? Also, can you comment on institutional backing they have. Would you consider the company medium or high risk. I am just trying to manage my exposure appropriately. Thanks!

Q: Hi, My respected 5i team
Could you please recommend 5 solid names to buy in Canadian and US markets respectively when there is a market correction? Do you think it is a good time to buy them now during the current market drawdown?
Pls list the names in the order from your most favorite to the least. Thanks in advance!

Thank you

Q: I am debating which one of these to purchase, both are growing fast, neither are profitable. I am looking for a 5 year + investment. How would you compare these, what merits stand out for you?

Q: Would appreciate your "crystal ball" thoughts on how low Crowdstrike might go during this continuing correction.

Q: Morning,
What are your top 3 choices (Canadian and U.S.A.) small cap value stocks today for a 5 year hold. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and associates,

I am an investor residing in Canada, and I am considering investing in US ETFs. What is your opinion of the following two ETFs: ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF and Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF? Would you invest your own money in these ETFs?

Thanks for the great service you provide.

Q: I have historically held my investments in mutual funds through a financial advisor. I subscribed to 5i Research approximately 3 years ago and made my first investments in equities and an ETF based primarily upon information obtained from 5i Research. The returns on VGRO ETF and my equities have been 2 to 4 times the gain for my mutual funds. I recently upgraded my subscription to include Portfolio Analytics. Based upon portfolio analytics, my current portfolio is reasonably well balanced with recommendations to add healthcare and industrials as well as some international exposure. I have cash on hand that I want to invest. I will hold my investments for the next 5 to 10 years. I am looking at purchasing some additional equities and an ETF with good growth potential at moderate risk. Please provide top 10 recommendations with rankings for stocks that I should consider adding to my portfolio. Please provide recommendations for top 5 ETFs with rankings that I should consider adding to my portfolio. What is your current view on VGRO? Would you suggest topping up my investment in VGRO?

Q: Can you suggest some short-term bond ETFs that are investing in government and/or large blue-chip companies? 3 for Canadian market and 3 for internal markets please? This is to provide regular income after retirement.

Q: These companies are getting killed on no news. I understand the environment with tax loss, covid, backdrop etc. What I don't understand is why the shorts aren't covering or appear to be. Also are these companies prime candidate's for a takeover because there smaller but at an inception point of eating up market share.

Q: Interested in the difference amongst this companies and which one you'd prefer.

Q: Good morning,

This ETF has seen a significant drop from its 52 week high and although I still value most of the companies held in this ETF (Visa, Mastercard, Square & PayPal) to name a few, do you see this ETF turning around anytime soon or is it time to lock in small profits. Thanks.

Q: Dear 5i,

These questions are regarding NNRG ETF and it's many fees.
Is the management fee 1.5%?
What is the MER?
Is there a performance fee of 10%?
If yes, is the performance fee levied daily?
Do you think one is better off buying CNQ which also
pays a generous dividend with no fees?

thanks

Q: I liked the high flyers when they were going up: not so much when they come down. I am way too old for the roller coaster ride. I am re jigging my portfolios to a conservative growth objective leaning more to larger cap names. Please give me 3 names in Canadian financials, industrials and energy listed in order of preference. Thank you.

Q: Hello, are you expecting any impact or issues on investors by the automatic conversion this week of ATD.B shares to ATD.A? Thanks, Aaron

Q: 2021 has been good to me overall but as always I have my regrets. I bought 2% weighting of BHP in Sept around 61 buck, mostly because I had little exposure to the sector. Do you think its gone too far to fast on it attempt to clean up its environmental footprint? Do you think the sell off has to do with tax loss selling or company issues? Finally would your view be favorable for next year or should I cut my losses. I thank you for years of good service and giving me an excellent source for sober second thoughts.

Q: RSI has had a nice gain since mid August. I am wondering what has caused the increase. Is it perhaps the reopening of restaurants or maybe inflation in the price of sugar?
Thanks for your insights.
