Investment Q&A

Q: Would you buy the dip? How compelling is it at this price compared to other large cap tech? Please rate it, 1 being total disdain of the stock, 10 being a strong endorsement.

Thank you!

Q: Why don't you have a sector breakdown in portfolio tracking and analysis for HXS. It is important to me, I hope you can fix this. I really appreciate all of you at 5i Research and often tell others about you.

Q: There was a buy in from a large investor at $4.34 a share. WELL is coming down to that price today (currently down 13cents). What do you see happening going forward? I assume it's a good sign that there is a large investment but it seems the discount is large. Your take on things?

Q: Any news on whats happening with Versabank?

Thanks for all the good work.
Cheers, Chris

Q: Hi 5i,
Can I ask your opinion on the Seaport Entertainment Group spin-off from Howard Hughes?

Thank you!

Q: It must be known by now how Door Dash is replacing Payfare's service. Are they internalizing the immediate pay function or are they selecting an alternate provider? If it was easy to internalize the function aren't other customers likely to follow suit? Pls. give me your best guess on Payfare's future - does it have a saleable service or not?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: Further to the questions about CIPF coverage, I think I may have been misunderstanding the coverage levels, perhaps viewing it as similar to CDIC coverage in terms of accounts (not dollars). Could you please clarify for me the coverage in the situations below, assuming all accounts are held at the same brokerage:

1) I hold $1 million in a cash account and 300K in a TFSA, both in my name alone. Total is $1.3 million. Is the total covered or just $1 million?

2) I hold the amounts above, plus a $1 million cash account held jointly with my wife. If I read the CIPF website correctly, they view this account as held $500,000 by me and $500,000 by my wife. Is she covered for her $500,000, but I have no coverage on this account (my total over 3 accounts is now $1.8 million)?

3) in addition to the accounts above, my wife and I each have a RRIF. Are we each covered for up to $1 million in each of our RRIFs?

Thank-you

Q: Now that the PAYF ETF has been around for a number of years, curious what you think of it.

Q: Hello,

With the interest rate is trending lower, the utility sector should benefit from it. Can you please ranking the above company for 3-5 years holding?

thanks,

Q: Hi 5i
I'd like to add to a small TFSA investment, which today is 100% in VGRO.ca.
I will add funds so that 25% will be in VGRO.ca and the other 75% would be spilt between 2 to 3 of these: ZMMK, VFV, ZSP, ZDI, XIU. Timeline is 2 to 3 years and thinking to be more conservative because already have VGRO for growth.
What would be your ranking highest to lowest. Are there other ETF's that I should consider?
Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
Could I have your current assessment of Shift Four? How would you rate it amongst its competitors?
Thank you

Q: I have been reviewing my holdings and want to transfer some canadian stocks to the us listing. In most cases there is the same stock on the nyse. In others it is on pinx. Should I be wary of pinx?

Q: How would you rate how management has run these two companies over the last few years? Please include at what valuation or price point one would comfortable starting a small position, if at all. Thanks.

Q: I owned this company since it was Orocobre and traded on the TSX. It went through various buyouts and a plunge in the price of lithium. It is now traded in NYSE and a cash buyout offer for 5.85 has been agreed by the company and Rio Tinto, the buyer. The price has risen to 5.55 but the deal does not close until mid 2025. Should I sell and leave the final 5% and assume I can earn that elsewhere in 8 or 9 months? What would you do?
