Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,
In their latest quarter results, they did beat the estimates. Remdesivir is still a one of the most used drug treatment. My opinion is that it will still be continued to be used for treatment till a better one is found.
Not sure why market is not so excited about the results and future prospects. Can you clarify.
Thanks for your sound advise.

Q: I hold Costco in my TFSA and with the news of a special dividend I am debating on selling ahead and rebuying after to avoid losing 15% withholding tax as I am assuming a special dividend is subject to the same 15% withholding treatment. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team,
The market is seeing a rotation from tech into more value with Dow Jones going up and NASDQ dropping. To capture this sector rotation, which Canadian traded ETFs would you recommend for US companies? Would it be Dow Jones focused ETFs or value focused ETFs that will see the most gain in the next 12 months?
Please list your top picks for each. Thanks.

Q: what are some renewable energy etfs

Q: My 40-year-old daughter has $42K in her RRSPs with Scotia Bank. Her advisor put her in two funds. BSN378 and BSN385. One is 45% invested in basically bonds and 40 Canadian stocks. The other is 12.3 % cash and 47 Canadian stocks. The exception is 2% invested in Microsoft. I assume there is a lot of duplication between the two funds investing in the same Canadian Companies. The MER is close to 2%. Apart from this being a travesty - I would like to move her into a self administered RRSP with a mix of a balanced ETF and three other stocks. She is regularly adding more money. She won't be withdrawing money from this account for at least 25 years.

Would you kindly suggest a suitable balanced ETF.

The three stocks I would suggest for a long term hold would be BAM, SHOP and ENB. Could I have your opinion or options please. Deduct as many questions as you see fit.

THANK YOU!
Bryan

Q: I have an RESP for my grandsons full of blue chip value stocks, ie banks, BAM, etc. The money is not needed for 10 yrs. please recommend some growth stocks that you would add. Thx.

Q: Which utilities do you prefer for income and some growth?

Q: Sienna has a bond due on 27 Feb 2026. Info in financial statement says that it is redeemable (presumably at par) by the company at any time with 10 days notice. Is it possible that a company would offer shares instead of cash.
Thanks in advance.

Q: Can you please comment on the Guardant Health quarterly earnings, as well as their proposed convertible debt issue? The market was not happy and I am wondering if this is an opportunity to add? Thanks as always for your terrific guidance.

Q: do you subscribe to the recent trend in Blockchain investment sector and if so what companies do you see being potential strong companies in that sector moving forward?

Is Sq still a buy?

Thanks, Lesley

Q: Could you please rank above Tech stocks in order of preference that you would purchase or hold right now. I have all except CRWD and U, but they seem to be coming up in your lists more frequently.

Q: Hi Peter,
Can I please have your view on above two stocks? I have a small position in each stock and would like to add more. What would be a good entry price on it?

Thanks,

Q: Morning guys :
Please comment on recent results .
Thx
Mark

Q: I hope I didn't misunderstand a recent response from your team on this ATD.B. Would you be saying that without an acquisition there is little growth for this stock? Assuming no acquisition taking place in the next couple of years, would you still invest in this company?

One other question. Do you see them dramatically increasing their dividend as the company matures in the future?

Thanks.

Q: I am trying to learn how to sell losers but it is complicated. Having held BYDDY for a few years I finally sold it just before it shot up this summer (whine). I plan to sell Western Forest Products at a big loss and reinvest the funds. Will you recommend a stock or two for the funds; I'm considering WELL or REAL or both, as I have partial positions in both? Thanks, Cathy

Q: The stock has pushed higher recently, is there something worth looking at here?

Q: You last commented on this company in October and at that time you did not view this stock favourably. On November 5th their 3rd quarter financial results were released. Has your view changed - do you think this might be a buy at this point ?

Q: Hi Peter and Gang,
GH's share dropped by more than 10% today, what would you attribute this decline to? Also please comment on this company going forward and whether it is a buy, hold or sell now?
Cheers,

Q: Hi team,

If one were adding to one of these positions with new money today which would you likely favour and why? In your view, which has the most torque to a strong upward market and persisting low interest rates?

Thanks
