Investment Q&A

Q: Are Canadian investors allowed to buy US Mutual Funds / ETF's?

Q: Dear 5i
What conservative CDN ETF with a focus on dividends would pair well with XIC that is currently owned within a registered account ?
Does ENS , GRID or CLBT have a higher earnings growth rate over the next couple of years ?
Thanks

Q: I've owned FIH.U for six years for a total return of 30% . Though I like their format and know a little about who they invest in I can't help to think I may do better in one of the general India ETF's . Like XID,INDA,INDY,INQQ,EPIor NFTY ..... Could 5i give me the annualized return over five years for these ETF's including FIH.U ? Also an annualized return for the last year so I can see their recent performance under the Trump influence ? ..... Does 5i have a short list of ones that you like ? { I do know that INQQ is internet only } ...... Also could 5i give me a brief synopsis of what each invests in ? ..... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Can I ask you to suggest a few mid-cap companies that could prove to be good long term investments in the solar energy sphere? My only provisos would be a solid balance sheet and hopefully a valuation that is reasonable based on current fundamentals. Appreciate your thoughts, thanks.

Q: What percentage of LMN does CSU actually own and control, and what does their ownership stake represent in terms of CSU's own market cap?

Q: Ok, let's try this again.

For the past 2+ years I've been waiting for the RBC US Midcap Fund to pop.

So a "gut" response to my first question: given the recent sell off in the markets, do you see small/midcaps popping or continuing to languish in the shadows of the AI trade? (Although it's early, in terms of seasonality the fund is doing nothing).

Second question: I'm thinking of taking all or half of this position (it's a full position for me), and picking up ATRL based on the nuclear energy/SMR theme. ATRL is up significantly in the past year. Is it fully priced at this point or does it have a lot more to grow in the next five years? Considering the the nuclear/SMR theme, would it be your top pick or do you have other companies (Canada or US) that you favour more?

Thanks in advance,
Pete, Calgary

Q: Good Morning

Is there any news or reason for the recent slide in value dispite what I believed were pretty good results?

Thank you

Q: I’m thinking of starting a position in one of these 3 companies. What do you think of their long term prospects?
Thanks

Q: What do you think of their latest quarter.

Q: your read on the quarter?

Q: Which would you prefer and why?
Any other idea for similar small caps at this moment ?
Good for TFSA?
Thanks.

Q: I’ve sold PRL and GSY for tax loss reasons with a plan to rebuy after 30 days. I’m down roughly 30% on both TRI and CRM. Any catalysts you can see in the next 30 days?

Q: With their recent move to have TD look into a possible sale, would it be prudent to take a position today.

Q: I got into crypto at the wrong time and am sitting on big losses in ETHA, BMNR, and IBIT in my taxable account. I want to harvest these capital losses. Can you recommend substitutes that move according to Ether and Bitcoin pricing to stay in the game before I can buy back after 30 days?

Q: This stock popped up on my radar with a couple positive analyst recommendations. What is your opinion, is this investable and does the $20 plus share forecast seem reasonable? Or is AI going to make this company obsolete

Q: Your comments on the prospects of MARA.US will
be a great help.

Thanks
Tom

Q: If you held GSY and PRL in a taxable account and were down about 35% on each. Would you sell to claim the tax loss and buy back a month later? Or if there a decent risk of either going up in the next month? Thx

Q: Are these worth holding for eventual recovery? Would you add more to bring the average cost down? Thanks

Q: Water cooler talk at my son in law’s employment at one of the Mag 7 companies was strongly in favour of the notion that CSU’s price decline is largely due to a drying up of companies for them to buy. Do you attach much, if any, credibility to this thesis?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: When do you think this will turn around and what might that take? Do you think we are seeing retail traders throw in the towel? I was concerned when I was down 10%. Now I’m down 40%. I see you rate it well so I’m holding. I am just losing hope and am frankly worried.
