Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Question 1: Considering buying a few hundred shares of ADTX (NASDAQ). There seems to have been significant growth over the last year and since the company launched (2017), and I like the biotechnology space and don't have any positions here yet. Can anyone provide some insight for a beginner investor on this company? I have a 2-3 year timeline and am looking for growth, okay with some risk. Feel free to suggest some alternatives to ADTX if you have some.

Question 2: I'm interested in adding some clean / renewable energy stocks to my portfolio, specifically US companies but also open to Canadian. I've been watching AQN and BEP.UN, but perhaps I'm missing some interesting ones that will benefit from the US being back in the Paris Agreement (!!). What are your favourites in this space right now?

Question 3: I currently work in A.I., and I like NVDA as a clear leader in this space. Do you think their stock is over-priced currently? It's one of the most expensive stocks in the A.I. technology space and seems too high when compared to MSFT or other players. Can you rank your favourites in the A.I. space?

Thanks 5i Team, and happy new year to everyone!

Q: I have a significant holding in BCE and a smaller amount of T. I am wondering if I should continue to hold them or move on to something else. BCE has been performing poorly but has a nice dividend. I think that BCE has been hurt in its media division by the pandemic so might improve particularly with sporting events coming back. T has performed better but its dividend is not quite as good. Perhaps the most important driver will be 5G. When do you think this will become important and how significant do you think it will be?
Thanks, as always, for your insight.

Q: Hi, I’ve read through the information on the company’s website. Wondering what are the implications of a 3 year closed fund with two one year extensions. Does this mean the fund will be closed or potentially closed after 3-5 years and funds returned to unit holders? If so, at what value? Would a closed fund of this nature typically be wound up after a set period or is this more of an option of the company? Thanks.

“Three-year closed end fund, with two one year extension options
Targeted annual pre-tax distribution yield of 10.5% per annum, paid monthly”

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks for the advise and I brought it at $9. Now is almost doubled within two weeks. Today is closed at $17.86 and it is the highest clue price since past 8-10 years.
What is your suggestion, do you think the momentum is go even further or time to sell all? In Bloomberg news today, "Chief Marketing Officer Mark Wilson on Jan. 20 sold more than $990,000 of BlackBerry stock, reducing his directly owned shares by nearly 60%. Chief Financial Officer Steve Rai also sold nearly $430,000 of the stock on the same day, liquidating all directly owned shares." is it a bad sign?

Q: I have $60,000 in an RDSP that I am transferring to a self directed account. At least $6000 of new money per year will be available for new investments. I have a 20 year investment horizon with a balanced to growth focus. Luckily I subscribed to 5i in September and have been closely following the Questions and Answers, your posts and updates, and company reports.

I will use the sector allocations you provided to Tom on Jan 6th for 2021. I need your guidance on how much of the portfolio to invest in the Canadian and US markets, and other geographic regions / countries. For the Canadian market I plan to invest in individual stocks. For the rest of the portfolio I will use ETFs.
