Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Research, thanks for the great work. I'm not sure if this question is reasonable for 5i.

I am semi-retired and have been looking for resources (articles, books, people) to help me plan an effective retirement withdrawal or decumulation plan.
My general goal is to determine how to effectively plan OAS, CPP, RIFF, cash portfolio and TFSA to minimize tax while balancing the fact no one knows how long my spouse and I will live.

I was wondering if you have any suggestions of resources I could look into?
It seems that with all the boomers out there, there would be resources available and I am probably not looking in the right places.

Q: Is glentel active?

Take care folks

Mike

Q: Regarding responses to questions on where to redeploy funds from Tricon, I did not see any reference to InterRent Real Estate Investment Trust. I already own Dream Industrial and plan to add, but to maintain exposure to residential real estate, does it also make sense to add to IIP.UN? Why or why not?

Q: I'm looking to invest some funds...

Question 1 :
- I own ARM,GOOG,MSFT,PLTR, CSU,COST, ATD

Question2 :
- What companies should I add to my portfolio?
- Screaming Buy And/Or Must Have in my portfolio ??
- Rank 1 Screaming Buy...then...

Thanks,
M

Q: I read the Globe and Mail daily concerning GIL. One day it seems the Board fired CEO for a good reason. The next day it appears the executive did not have just cause. What do you think is the correct story? I already hold GIL. Would you advice to continue holding?

Thanks

Q: I am considering reducing energy positions and letting go one or more of these companies. How do you rate them for fundamentals and any other metric you choose to rate them: Keyera, Pason Systems and Freehold Royalties. Sell order??

Q: Payfare seems to have carved out a nice little niche for itself though revenue looks like it is concentrated in several major customers. How susceptible is their business model to competition?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: Your answer to the question about the signifcant drop doesn't make sense. Analysts give all sorts of crazy targets. Raymond James put out a nine dollar target at the end of December which did nothing to the stock price. I get your just relaying whats out there. Why I'm mad is everything I own has dropped in January like NVEI. My true feeling is market manipulation through complex computer programs. This is exasperated with short selling. My trust in the system has gone.

Q: I have some shares that have dropped to half a cent in value. As one might expect these shares are very thinly traded. I would like to harvest a capital loss on this stock for income tax purposes. Do you have a suggestion on how one might go about doing that?

Q: Good Day,

I picked up CALF and HPS.A based on your last answer to my questions. CALF was EXACTLY what I was looking for in that space. HPS.A looks really intriguing, and despite the constant highs on highs providing a bit of apprehension, I think I'll look back later and be happy. Thanks.

Through looking in to NXT as an option, came across FLEX, which it was spun out from, as well as TOI (and CSU by proxy) when looking at LMN.

Would FLEX or NXT have a better future outlook and why? What would you rank the risk and growth potential for each? Are there any other companies like FLEX that you would recommend? Also, the Share price estimate for FLEX is showing a high of 35, which is significantly higher than current. are those pre-NXT spinoff estimates?

For LMN and TOI, same questions.

Q: Currently I have no exposure to real estate in my portfolio. This is because I have been very hesitant to buy into real estate for the last few years because of Covid, then high interest rates, office workers working from home effecting Office REITS and on-line sales effecting Retail REITs. Are there 3 safe REITs out there paying a 4 - 5% dividend that a retired senior can invest in or should I just continue to stay away from the whole sector for now?

Q: Hi ,
Can you please identify me with 3 US stocks and 3 canadian who have a monopoly over their business. ?
I already own CN . I hope it’s one of it?
Thanks. Alnoor

Q: I have a large (for me) holdings in these two Mawer funds.
I can either keep paying the management fees and the annual capital gain, or sell MAW150 at a loss, or sell both, get hit by a large capital gain (MAW107) and buy Canadian ETF's holding small and mid US stocks.
What'd you do?
Thanks Jerry

Q: Hi,
