Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning,

Roku has dropped from approx $140 back to $106. Would you be adding to your position (If light) at current levels or are there any changes in your long term thesis?

Yesterday you mentioned XWD as a good ETF option for international exposure but stated that it had 65 percent NA. Is there a good option for international equity with a value bent without NA companies?

Thanks for being a calming voice during volatility.

Q: CRH was doing quite well before the market correction. What do you think of it now?

If you did not own Goos. Would you buy half position before the earnings report?

Q: Hi folks, now that it looks like oil is doing better, along with oil stocks, please get your thought on Oil Service company; Ces Energy. Stock has doubled off the bottoms and was wondering your thoughts on company; Both Scotia & TD have it as a "Top pick" & "Action Buy List" respectively. At $1sh per share, would U rate Buy/Hold/Sell, and would U like other names over Ceu/t, thanks, jb Piedmont QC

Q: Apologies for the long list. Could I have your opinion on which I should sell? I will probably take the proceeds and add to FNV, AEM, and KL (are those reasonable choices?). Thanks very much.

Q: May I have your opinion of this stock for a longer term investment. Thank you.cheers

Q: Although both stocks are in the financial area but certainly quite different.
Both are moving quite significantly with renewed interest in the sector. Would either one or both be suitable buys, even with their current increase?
Thank you, Team!

Q: Could you give me the forward PE on these companies and which looks best currently if buying ? Thx

Q: Digital turbine or Rubicon. Which has the better balance sheet and of the two, which one is a better buy or the faster growth and safer.

Q: Suprised and sad to hear of BRP's plan to shut production of Evinrude outboards, they have been around since 1907 according to Google. Does the company report financial numbers in relation to this single product?

Q: Hello 5i Team
There are three companies that have issued preferred shares (Capstone Infrastructure, Co-operators General Insurance and Empire Life) which do not have publicly traded common shares.
As far as I can determine, the companies still file quarterly/annual financial statements on SEDAR, so I can review the financials of the underlying company.
Questions are:
1 - Why do these companies continue to maintain the listing of these preferred shares and given the low interest rates and low trading price, would it be possible that the companies could redeem the preferred shares or purchase them under a NCIB?
2 - Are there potential opportunities in purchasing these preferred shares at opportunistic prices (similar to mid March lows) if we have a general pull-back in the market. I understand that I could have a long hold period for these preferred shares as a result of low trading volume.
3 - Should I concentrate my effort in reviewing other preferred issues and simply ignore these three issues as "noise".
Thanks

Q: hello 5i:;
I've just sold SIA; had held since 2016 and about a 4% weighting. Looking for something in the Health Care space, hopefully with a good dividend. Would like something like PFE:US, but as its going into a TFSA, the withholding tax is not exactly enamoring. Any suggestions? Doesn't have to be Health Care, but should be a good stable dividend growth stock. The portfolio is well balanced at the present time.

Q: DOC Can you give me a summary of your views of this company
Can you also provide some technical analysis for this company? For example: The amount of Debt its carrying, etc.

Q: SONA Sona Nanotechnology does not come up in your company database. This company is outside my normal purview but it has created a rapid detection test for COVID antibodies that has recently received some attention and its stock has increased dramatically. Can you tell me anything about this firm? Does the test have potential? Is its basic business producing gold nanorods (whatever they are) show promise? Is this an investible company? Any information would be helpful.

Appreciate your insight.

Paul F.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i,
Which of these 2 ETF's would you prefer and why, or if you have any other that is better, would be much appreciated. Thanks for your wonderful service. Stay safe. Ivan

Q: After the spinoff I am inclined to roll these three companies into one - if so, which one would you prefer ? Or, would be better to to sell all three and what would you suggest as a replacement ?? thanks, Jim

Q: I thought the 2nd q results issued today were pretty good and the share price has responded. This company appears to be undervalued and it even pays a small dividend. Based on my investing experience, I think the market will eventually notice this company or it will get bought out.

Q: Hello team,

With some ETF diversification.
10-13yr hold family resp. What are some sound high CAGR stocks? Suggestions that you may have?
Their is always some risk but we do need the best possible chances at raising our annual return.

Thanks for the advice.

Q: ACO.X or CU.With preservation of capital and income as goals,do you have a preference?

Q: Hello,
I wanted to get your thoughts (do you like the space) on Invitation Homes. Debt is on the higher side but it's an interesting concept that is meeting changing lifestyle demands by providing access to high-quality, updated homes with valued features such as close proximity to jobs and access to good schools.
Thank you,
Glen
