Q: How do you recommend investors handle cash balances while they are waiting for a compelling investment opportunity? Presently, I use a combination of bank "high interest" e-savings accounts (.75% at RBC; 1% at Tangerine) and the "Cash optimizer" within Scotia i-trade accounts (.25%). How can I do better?

Q: Hi Team ,
I am thinking about taking half-positions in AGT and DHX.B two companies that I have been following for a while.
AGT and DHX.B seems both interesting considering their long term potential in their respective market especially following their respective recent steep price drops that make them more attractive. I would like to have your opinion on these Companies.
I also want to add ET in my RRSP. Evertz is a bit intriguing, It seems to me that the market valuation is on the low side (Am I right?). The company seems to offer a good potential but the share price seems to be going nowhere since a while, any idea why.
What is your opinion on taking a position in ET at the current price level?
Thank you!

Q: What do you think of GREK as an investment (and why it’s been falling lately)? The only professional endorsement I’m aware of is James Thorne’s on BNN back in May. I’m wondering if it’s a good time to get in.
Generally speaking, do you frown on country-specific ETFs, or would you make some exceptions (like India or Russia), especially for long term holds? Thanks.

Q: Hello,
We purchased shares in NAC a little while ago and are up nicely but not a lot.
More of a service company so not retail sales of cannabis.
I'd appreciate you analysis.
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Happy Thanksgiving! I am looking for 'sleeper' picks to tuck away and look at again 3-5 years from now. Other than GUD which you have been vocal about it being that kind of stock, could you recommend two of your favourites in each of the small, mid, and large cap segments of the market. They don't need to be new, they could just be unloved, unfollowed, or under appreciated. Thanks!

Q: Could you please 5 or 6 forever stocks in the USA.
Q: I recently ignored my logic in staying away from "new" listings and invested in IBAT. In essence, I went with my gut based on my research and more than doubled my investment within a few days.
IBAT acquired technology in extracting lithium from brine, effectively reducing the process time from 24 months to 24 hours. No earnings ... It was previously operated as Rheingold. Has this been on your radar? Perhaps I should consider myself fortunate and bank my gains or hold on. May I have your opinion? Thank you.

Q: I am holding a full position (5%+) in each of ALA in a non registered account, PPL in a RRIF account, and ENF in a TFSA. I have decided that I am overexposed to the sector and
must reduce my positions. In your opinion which companies should be held for the long term and which should be sold? I also hold ALA.R in my RRIF as per your suggested opportunity, should the pending transaction be consummated.
Thank you for considering my question.
