Investment Q&A

Q: My MGA is sagging but I still like the company's future. My ATS is doing fine, thank you very much. I'm thinking about selling MGA and increasing my ATS to a full position. Long time horizons but in say five years, which company would you rather be in today? thanks

Q: Is it too late to get into NVDA? Is it a FOMO trade now? Where would you put new money for growth (3-5 years) NVDA, SMCI, AMD or some other name? Please reply with a short reason and take as many credits as needed. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i,
What happens to NWH stock price if the UK sale does not happen?
What happens to the price if the distribution is cut.

Thanks
John

Q: The sudden price rise in NVDA seems like a bubble. While I want to continue to own this company into the future, is it time to take some off the table?

In other words, would you recommend sell, say, a quarter of it now and wait for a pullback to buy more? Would you wait and perhaps do this down the road?

Q: Hi Peter,

I hold IWO in my portfolio, currently at about 30% loss.

What you suggest, hold it, sell it Or ADD MORE OF IT ?

Thanks

Q: You don't seem to have a listing for it but what do you think of Panasonic (PCRFF)

Q: Hi,
I need to sell all the stocks in my non-registered account to access the cash in the next 2-5 years. I will be selling many of the stocks listed, in the next few weeks. Can you list them in SELL order with a few comments on the rationale.
Also, please list the top 10 Canadian stocks (from this list or others) for longterm holding, since I will buy some of them back in one of my registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA), likely over the next 2 years.
Thank you,
Camille

Q: What are your thoughts on Ulta? With the current weakness is this a good opportunity to start a position?
Thanks,

Q: Do you know the date that SDE will pay out the cash dividend? Please rank the new SDE, HWX and TVE as companies to reinvest the dividend?

Q: I hold UNITY and APPS , now less than 1% and at a substantial loss as part of a US $ registered account tilted to growth and, intentionally, heavy in tech. In addition to the above two, it has the following holdings, with % shown of TOTAL (U.S. & Cdn) portfolio, followed by % of profit/loss, Our Canadian portfolio is balanced and much larger.

META .75% (+21%) , TEAM 1.9% (0%), CRWD 2.7% (-20%),
QCOM 3.7% (+45%), MSFT 3.8%(+116%), GOOG 4.5%(+6%), and NVDA 8.8% (+200%).

I am looking at selling U and APPS and perhaps TEAM (?) , increasing META to about 1.5 and looking for something new. Maybe SMCI - but after the parabolic increase in the last month maybe that needs to be on a pullback. Anything about this that you would do differently., including alternatives to SMCI ?
Take as many question credits as needed - many thanks.

Q: With the large caps largely moving the S&P500, would you put new money into SPY or RSP (equal weight ETF)? Looking for growth, short and long term. Please give a short reasoning for your answer. Thanks in advance.

Q: What are your thoughts on GDI? I know you still hold it in your growth portfolio but the stock has pretty much traded in a flat range for the last 2.5 years. Up 32% but only around a 1% position. I'm patient but thinking of selling and adding to other names with more growth potential, names like LMN, KXS, ATZ, CROX, WELL, NVEI, TOI, SHOP, etc.... What are the catalysts to move this stock and what do you still like/dislike about the fundamentals? Thanks!

Q: hello 5i:
In our various portfolios, we own DIVO, SCHD and MTUM. MOAT is not owned. I've done a fairly deep dive trying to compare the 4 etf's as I'd like to consolidate some of our single companies eg. MRK, LMT etc etc into ETFs to simplify things, and in the case of the RRIFs, to enhance yield. By my metrics, DIVO seems to come out on top on a risk/reward basis and a good balance of yield with growth. I've included MOAT as I'm interested in the concept (but not sold on the ETF). Can you confirm my findings? Would you agree, or what could you add to my findings? Is there a source (Morningstar does a good job, but not great) that would allow me to better compare risk/return of the listed etf's?
I realize there are a few questions here: take as many credits as necessary to answer as I have a lot banked.
thanks

Q: Any updated thoughts on RE Royalties, are they cash flow positive yet? Better risk return now?

Q: May I please have 5i's view of VTS and its business model. Do you consider it a good stock for a RIF account, and is the attractive yield sustainable?

Q: Your thoughts on this stock.

Any details would be appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Peter; Any news today re the drop? Thanks.
Rod

Q: Good morning,

Long time holder of CAR.UN, and although I like it, watching TD go lower and lower seems like a buying opportunity to me, and I know you view TD as having potential over the medium/long-term from these levels. Seems to me like there is greater price appreciation potential, and a greater dividend while things settle down.

I know they are different sectors, but what are your general thoughts on this potential switch? 5 years from now I think it may look smart..... Thanks. - Jeff

Q: Now that SHOP has announced plans to enter the point of sale hardware business, is it lights out for LSPD?

Q: I have 400 BN with an ave cost of $39.24 and current price $42.16
I also have 2 BNRE-ave cost $56.18 and current price $42.56

What happens if I transfer the 2 BNRE into BN with the different average cost and current prices?
Would it be better to keep them separated?

thanks,

Paul
