Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Peter,

It’s that time of the year where I contemplate moving a stock from my cash account to my TFSA. Which of the three above would you move into a TFSA? Or would you move cash into the TFSA?

Q: I am looking at my losers. Please list in order of preference which ones you would average down on. I know that's a bad word but we could call it greatest contrarian opportunity. Obviously risk is not a great concern but not to be completely ignored. Thanks as always

Q: I recently bought back into SYZ after the SP decline, some recent acquisitions, and insider buying. My question is with respect to what you think the payout ratio might be going forward on a normalized basis (removing one time items etc). I’m curious if the company will be able to maintain its high dividend yield that is uncommon for growth tech stocks. Do you think they can long term or have the acquisitions / growth investments made this dividend suspect? Thanks

Q: I opened an RESP account for my newborn son this year, my goal is to have ~10% annual return and not have to actively manage and rebalance the portfolio. So I plan to just buy and hold VEQT with available funds for the next 10-15 years, then slowly transition to a more balanced VBAL as it gets closer to withdrawal. What are your thoughts on this strategy, and would you recommend another ETF/stocks as a better alternative for the purpose? Thanks!

Q: Your thoughts on recent earnings, please. Was the production down time a one-time issue and the main factor in the disappointing earnings?

Q: Although it is a US equity, it is mentioned here often enough that perhaps you will answer a question about it. APPS has received many favourable comments from 5I; can you explain why you like it? It recently has a noticeable reduction in share price.....is this a buying opportunity or a change in momentum? In a growth oriented TFSA, I am thinking of trimming some NVDA, CRWD, and AMZN to create some funds to purchase a small position in APPS. Those 3 have grown but are not (yet) too high of a weight , this would be to try to boost results. Is it a move you would make, or would you just stay the course? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Do you have any research available on this company?

Q: Hi Team,
Thanks for the great commentary you provide daily. Could I please get your thoughts on FuboTV’s latest quarter? The company reported over a million subscribers and with sportsbetting and expanding their streaming offering to new international markets, what do you think of the company’s prospects long term?

Thanks

Q: What would be your top pick for exposure to gold, and thoughts on KL specifically?

Q: Hi 5i,
A while ago i wrote and asked about selling ATZ because it had risen substantially, and you advised "we think one of the worst reasons to sell a stock is because it is up". I heeded your advice, did not sell and presently, I'm very happy I asked and that you answered as you did.
Which brings me to my question(s):
I hold DBM and after I bought in it dropped considerably and I was down just over 20% for what seemed like quite some time. Recently it's been climbing, to the point I'm now down 5%. I put a fair amount in (for me that is) so the money involved is significant to me. Along with hoping for capital gain, the dividend was a motivating factor in my buy in.
EQX did the same thing after I bought in and at one point I was down just over 40%. It has now recovered to the point that I'm down about 18%. Monetarily speaking I don't have nearly as much on the line as with DBM, so my level of concern is considerably less.
If these stocks continue their recent trends and continue to rise, would the advice you gave for ATZ hold true for them, or would you advise me to let them go if they get to or near my buy in?
I ask because I expect - but am not sure - that the advice not to sell just because a stock is up may not hold true in every situation, depending on the names in question. Your thoughts regarding DBM and EQX in this context will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Peter
