Investment Q&A

Q: Bond yields down today yet Key & PPl these attractive dividend growers and yielders are down about 2%.
Any idea for the declines?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Uranium stocks and the underlying price of uranium seems to have potentially bottomed. What you be a buyer of uranium stocks at this time or do you think it would be better to hold off and wait for a position?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Hit "enter" to fast on my last question. Looking for some ideas with the understanding you can't offer direct recommendations. I have 40 K to add to my non-reg account. I have full positions in all the pipelines, OLY, GWO, BNS, CU, NPI, BIR, PEY, TPZ, CNQ, PRL and BMO. I have no need for any income for at least five years, not opposed to going overweight if necessary, have lots of higher yielders so would perhaps benefit from some choices with capital gain and dividend growth potential versus just high yield.

Q: Sell or not, and proxy for sales in your opinion.
AC, TECK.B, CS, SES, STLA, ARE, CVE.
XBI-N, HD-N, NIKE-N,

Q: A dark 2025/6 scenario would be mild recession in Canada, more serious recession in the U.S., both deepened at some point by a U.S. dollar crisis due to massive deficits and chaotic Trump. How should a TFSA be positioned to weather this? Dividend stocks versus bonds? How much of portfolio in gold stocks? How big a cash allocation? What else? Please deduct points as needed for this speculative question.

Q: Between these two which would you see as better overall for a 3-5 year hold with a growth tilt.

Q: The rumour today is that Trump's team is about to announce their first trade deal. It sounds to me like England. Assuming that more of these follow and perhaps increase in frequency, sentiment will change and I personally expect a risk-on environment.

Please list the 10 equities from the US and Canada (in any sector) that you project will move most aggressively over a 3 month period in an environment where trade deals are the daily news and not negative bluster. Note, I am not asking you to asses the probability of deals, just the 10 companies that are poised to benefit most in terms of share price. Note that these can be risky companies but if they are, please state that and explain why the upside makes up for the risk.

Please take an extra credit and state whether each suggestion is a short term trade or a long term hold.

Q: What’s your opinion on the BIP’s Q1 result? It seams the 6% increase in dividends is above the increase in AFFO. What is now the payout ratio of the AFFO? I like this dividend increase but are they getting agressive given the AFFO results?

Q: I'm a well diversified investor holding 70% income and 30% growth stocks, I want to add one or all of these companies for income and for potential growth. How would you rate them in terms of best choice. And could you recommend a good entry price point to buy any of these. Thanks - great service!

Q: I understand that DSG and KXS operate in different spaces, but had thought that, as the market put April 9 behind it, they would recover along similar trajectories - but KXS has clearly taken the lead, today matching its December, 2024 high. Supposing that at least some of Trump's tariff plans come to fruition, is KXS the better investment? DGS's RoC (per your database) is far more attractive.

Q: As a follow up to my previous question, in which you suggested the following ETFs: VIU, XIU and ZSP as a way to save 10% of my income for retirement, do you prefer XIU over XIC for retirement investments over a 20 year span. If so, why? Thank you again for your great service.

Q: thinking of putting a toe in to this one what do you think ? thank you very much for all the advice

Q: Hello Team,
Can I have three Canadian energy names you recommend now please.
Best,

Q: Hi Peter

Can I get your thoughts on TGH. Can you comment on the latest Qtr results and also what do you think of initial position in a TFSA.

Q: I have sold half my position in AQN at a loss awhile ago and now am considering selling the other half and moving on. Wondering if I should wait until after earnings or just sell now. Do you know what is expected this May 9th earnings? What would be the stock to recoup losses of 50% -it can be any area, doesn't have to be utilities. Thanks.

Q: Can I please get your thoughts on AIAI, Netramark Holdings. Can you also provide some other stocks that might offer a similar AI service.

Q: I noticed 5i mentioned this today. What is the upside here versus risk? Does it have high insider ownership and who? Any details would be great as it looks like a good speculative silver buy.

Q: Earlier this month the CRA asked tax-filers to delay filing if they had capital gains because their system had not yet been fully readjusted for the capital gain flip-flop. Since then I have not heard anything more; do you know if they are now up to speed? Because of that delay request, I'm going to be late.

Q: Hi Peter and the 5i Team,

First off, I'd like to thank 5i member "Peter" for his excellent recommendation of the IE generated website 'Perplexity'. What an amazing alternative to Google Search!

'Perplexity' was able to answer a question that I had about the UFile tax software that even UFile's help desk failed to answer with clarity.

Secondly, is there a link to your recent webinar for those of us who were unable to view it in real time?

Thanks in advance!

Q: With the upcoming earnings soon would you be a buyer or wait till they report.
An analysis would be greatly beneficial?
Thanx as usual
Gary
