Investment Q&A

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

Q: What do you think of QXO? As far as I understand it is a very brilliant founder who has grown similar businesses, put in hundreds of millions of his own capital, has a lot of the same team in place, and is looking to grow and build in a fragmented industry.

What do you think/what can you tell me about the outlook of the company/valuation, growth prospects, etc? I see it has almost 1/5th of its market cap in cash.

I'm a bit weary of these types of situations after GUD, but also that could just be a shortsighted behavioral bias.

Q: Hello,
I'm looking for a way to park some money for one-year to pay down part of my mortgage after that. What are some low risk options to maintain liquidity if I need to use the funds for some emergency?
Thanks for your help!

Q: Hello 5i
I just noticed that in answer to a question you have put adt.ca ahead of premium brands in its category as a favourite pick. I have been worried that adt direction may be looking for a big way to make their mark in their acquisition. I have wondered whether that would bring them to abandon their usual caution. I hold pbh at now, a quite small capital gain and have been thinking about selling it. Just wondering what makes you so confident about this deal. And also, whether it is good enough to make the switch?
Thanks for this great service

Q: There was a question asked this summer about your favorite stocks in both Canada and the US in each of the 11 sectors. I cannot seem to find it. Could you please answer that question again ? If your answer has not changed, could you please provide a link to that past answer ?

Q: Hi,

If not already asked can you please comment on the most recent Well acquisition and the potential to the revenue and EPS increases going forward, ie accretion with the acquisition.
Is the Walmart Canada mention in this same news release a pilot project where if successful it will get rolled out to multiple Walmart Canada sites or is it already implemented in multiple sites (via the acquisition) and if so how many stores, 25, 50, 75, 100% of all Walmart Canada in store pharmacies?
Just trying to gauge the impact of the news release. The stock did not move much so assumption is that it is not that material.

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Hi there. A question regarding Go Easy GSY. We have been fortunate to be in a profit position above 30% in this company. With 6 recent revisions to the downside and a 6 month performance of -1.7 versus the 10.51% in SPTSX would you hold into earnings considering this could be quite a volatile week? or take some profit? We hold a sizable amount in our TFSA so capital gains is a non-issue. Thanks!

Q: I want to start doing an RRSP meltdown. I'm considering moving ZID in-kind to my non-registered account but was wondering about the implications. Since this is a Canadian-based ETF, I don't think it has any effect on having to fill out Form T1135, Foreign Income Verification Statement, does it ?

Acknowledging that 5i staff are not tax experts, do you recognize any other caveats that one should be aware of for having this ETF within a non-registered account? Thanks !

Q: I’d like to get your thoughts on the new Global X Treasury Ladder ETFs (SLDR, MLDR, and LLDR). My understanding is that their returns are likely to closely follow the current yield, with minimal potential for capital gains or losses. Does this make them a good fit for the secure portion of a conservative portfolio, or are there additional factors to consider?
