Q: Hi 5i guys. NXR (Nexus industrial reit) is now truly an industrial reit since they have sold almost all of their non-industrial properties. At the current price of around $7.77 per unit nexus has a yield slightly above 8 per cent!! In the past couple of years nxr's yield has been higher than their cash flow which is concerning, but the past quarter I believe their payout ratio was around 97 per cent (please confirm). They have a couple of new properties that should be contributing to cash flow and apparently they are releasing properties at much higher rates. Based on that I believe they should be able to continue with the generous yield since the payout ratio should slowly improve. What concerns me is the cost of their debt. They have to refinance a portion of the debt this year and next. The debt they are rolling over was at very low rates and the new rates are at least one per cent higher. Can your bloomberg terminal give an estimate of how much more interest NXR will have to pay on their new debt? If you can make a query as to whether the increasing of rent (and new property rent) will more than offset higher interest payments would be appreciated as well (I am not sure how sophisticated a Bloomberg terminal can be.) I was fortunate that last summer I rotated some tech into precious metal miner and now I want to pay it safe and reduce the PM miners with some income plays. NXR got on my radar. My only other reit exposure is a small position in Granite reit. Thanks for your help and I wish I had a Bloomberg terminal!!

Q: Good morning.
I’m planning on setting up a RESP for my grandkids.
Could you guys please suggest a ETF or two that would be suitable, this would not be used for at least 12 years.

Thanks.

Q: Hello, can you comment on Palo Alto’s latest earnings report and guidance? Is the price drop (Wed morning) overdone? Thanks

Q: What do you think about the risk investing in Mercado Libre. It has a very strong growth profile, with forecasted revenue and EPS GAGR of 30% for the next 3 years. It operates in South America, a region with unsure stability. If one of the countries it operates in has a major macroeconomic downturn (political or economic), then this can deeply affect the company. However, it's growth rate and potentially very high is compelling.

Q: Can you comment the last result.

Thank you

Q: Hello Peter and 5i Team,

Can you please comment on GRMN earnings ? Is there anything else attributing to the share price spike today that you can see?

Thanks,

Q: Hello Team and good Family Day for the ones in Ontario,

Apart from the market fixation now on overspending on AI which costs a bundle and may not generate more profit, I read somewhere an analyst making a parallel between GE (pre-separation in 3 separate entities) and the 3 members of the Mag 7 listed above. He says they may be going the way GE did when the market started pricing conglomerates the way it did for the last 15 years which consequently brought GE to a very low multiple. What did it for GE, he says, was being involved in different and unrelated businesses, for one, and one strong entity pulling the weight of costly money losing members for another. He says it is also true especially in the AMZN and GOOG cases. What do you think? As always thanks for your strong insight, Adel.

Q: Hi,

What do you think of VIC 200? What makes it different from an ETF and would you recommend it for someone looking for lo-volatility broad market exposure? is there a better alternative?

Q: Came across this gold company from an article in The New Money which I read occasionally! What are your thoughts on this 1.6 Billion market cap co.
Is this a possible 10 bagger down the road?
Thanx as Usual

Q: Any comments on the Indian market, or lack thereof? Is it a good investment going forward? It looks like the biggest ADRs there are the banks. Their economy looks to have good long term prospects.

Q: Current thoughts on PTM? Thanks

Q: I'm moving away from 30 equities to and few ETFs. What do you think of a portfolio made up of SPY 30%, XIC 30%, VIU 20%, and VAB 20%? Or would you rather XEQT 80% and VAB 20%?

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

May I have your updated assessment on the quality of Devon Energy Corporation (DVN:US) please?

Thank you,

Q: Our current Federal government seems to think oil pipelines are the answer to preserving Canadian independence, however as Adam Posen of the Peterson Institute points out, Canada has no internet pipes that don't run through the U.S., its satellites, or cables. Which of course means we have no access to the internet without U.S. permission. What Canadian companies would benefit if the government decided to invest in a Canadian owned and operated internet?

Q: Their latest acquisition seemed to be a good move into the drone data recovery space and with their latest earnings growth and strong business model (eg. getting paid their subscriptions for the gov't upfront to provide upfront cash) and growing focus on non-government areas (eg. military or private sector w/ the Corellium acquisition) what am I missing with this company? Why are investors staying away and creating such volatility when results are good.

Headscratcher on this one...

Q: Your thoughts on this interesting small, risky/looking homegrown. Worth a flyer?

Thanks.
