Q: I owned Dowdupont and in the spinout of 2019 received shares of DOW, DD and CTVA. I originally purchased the stock with the belief that the spinout would unlock the potential of each entity......ie the sum of the parts was worth more than the whole. So far, after 2 years that thesis has not played out. CTVA (the smallest of the spinouts) has performed well, DOW has been relatively flat and DD (the largest of the spinouts) has been a dog. Can you please comment on each holding and tell me if they were in your portfolio which ones are worth holding, which are best to let go and most importantly why.

Thanks for your guidance and wisdom

Q: Hi 5i team,
I would like to own U.S. companies in the ‘Industrial’ sector that are well managed, with strong balance sheets and good growth on earnings. Could you please recommend a US listed ETF that focus on these companies? Thanks.

Q: I've been a holder of AR since August of last year and am aware that timing is both difficult and frustrating but with the price of gold falling week after week and Ar becoming perhaps way oversold ,I am now looking at adding to my position for the long term.Can you also comment on seasonality, wether it is reliable and will inflation pick up in the second half of 2021 as there seems to be quite the debate about the latest !
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: Hi 5i,
WDO is reporting earning on Mar 10- ...Are market expectations for WDO to meet, not meet or beat previous guidance?
Do analysts have access to other data ect that they use to then "calculate" their own numbers to arrive at so called "whisper" numbers?

Nuvei pre-announced earnings very positively a number of weeks ago...Is the market expectation that the actual announced earnings will be positive.

Thx
JIm

Q: Hi Team,
I am planning on making a 2021 rsp contribution and looking for your top 3 US growth picks today. ( I was leaning towards PINS). That being said, do you think now is a good time to do this into the tech weakness? I may contribute in 2 different contributions at different times. Or do you foresee this pullback lasting quite a bit longer yet? I realize timing the market is just a guess, but you did a good job in predicting the low last year when your write up suggested we start buying after the huge virus sell off. Thanks for that!

Q: Good morning - I am looking to increase my Industrial sector holdings and currently have positions in LMT, ATS, AC and TFII. Are there sector companies ( canadian or otherwise) that you consider to be underappreciated at this time or other companies that you would recommend? Or, am I better to add to my current holdings?

as always, your inputs are most appreciated

thanks
