Investment Q&A

Q: I currently own STN and have a 45% paper gain. Do you see value in selling STN now and moving to WSP. I bought STN because i like their water management business and they we undervalued at the time.

Thanks

Mike

Q: I like the website changes, well done.
I'm starting to think about tax loss harvesting. I have losses of 15% & 20% respectively in AQN & BEP.UN (only held since early 2021).
Would you consider this short holding period too short for meaningful tax loss harvesting (i.e. being too focused on short-term movements)?
I intend to add these two (or similar) back after the 30-day period, they are part of my longer-term plan.
Can you suggest one or two replacements for the interim (or longer?). Portfolio is appropriately diversified and already includes FTS. H? EMA? BLX?
Thanks.

Q: With the website upgrade is there a blog archive somewhere? I seem to be unable to access anything prior to April 2020.

Q: Not super happy about the 2% drop in the price of oil today; however, I am a bit more mystified by the 5%+ drop in the price of XME. Is this a function, for whatever, reason, of inflation fears? Your perspective would be extremely welcome. Thanks!

Q: Hello,

Is this a expensive stock compare it to its peers? Would you view recent pull back as a buy opportunity?

Thank you,

Q: Can you please give me an update on this company. Buy, sell or hold.

Thank you

Q: Recently, the group that bought a bunch of dental practices all over Canada and put them under the corporate umbrella of Dental Corp had an IPO on TSX.

I see dentists are generally affluent and high income earners.

So buying 400+ practices and making it a big business sounds like a good idea except for the part that there is a half a billion dollar debt or so on the balance sheet.

What is your long term opinion of Dental Corp? Maybe a slow burn winner?

Thanks.

Q: Good morning all!

While catching up on corp news I fell on this: Mission Ready Retains Integral Wealth Securities as Market Maker. Can you please explain what Integral brings to the table for MRS and if you think this is worth the $7000/month they will be paying them ?

Thank you, as always, for your great advice.

Q: I go to 5i questions every day except for yesterday the 16th due to the recommendation not to go on the site as it was being updated. Thursday, the 17th I noticed that Trade Desk in my online account was out 90%. I searched all over my online account short of making a phone call and waiting 2 hours on hold. I then search all over my online account and there was nothing pertaining to the problem. I then went to Bloomberg Markets and there was nothing there about it. About 7:00 p.m. tonight - I checked my online account and I am out 89.9% and searched back to the last purchase on October, 2020 of 6 shares purchased at $612.50 for a total of $3,684.99. I just contacted 5i at 8:00 p.m. which I am writing now and I noticed that recently someone had asked a question about Trade Desk. It would have been helpful to find information out sooner but it seemed none of my research provided it. I guess I will phone my online account tomorrow and see what they haven't picked up on this.

Q: Hi,

Congrats on the web site update! Makes it easier to navigate for sure especially when looking up company data.
Of the recent IPO's listed above, do you have a preference for one or the other or obtain a starter position in all 3? Or a different one all together?
Also, can you pls confirm the considerable drop in revenue as seen on the Company data for ABCL....or is this an error? I normally only invest in a company whose YoY growth/revenue is trending upwards...so this is a bit of a caution flag if I were to invest in ABCL.

Cheers,

Q: Thank you for your reply regarding my question on what to watch for in terms of a return to paying dividends by these two companies. There does not appear be a "Cash Flow" or "Free Cash Flow" item among the Key Data status provided for these companies. I do see a Price to Cash Flow and Price to Free Cash Flow but I'm not sure how to interpret these data points in terms of continued paying a dividend or, in the case these companies, a return to paying dividends. If Cash Flow is a key to payment of dividends is there any chance Cash Flow can be added to the data to all those dividend paying companies listed?

Q: Are there any catalyst, or catalysts, in insight to lift the renewable energy stocks out of their 2021 humdrum? Names in this sector are all down YTD from BEPC's highest of 33% to RWN's lowest of 7% - with no exception. Would you recommend a name in this group that would have the likeliest chance for a quick rebound / turnaround? Thanks.

Q: Peter,

What research source or service would provide a full listing of Cdn pref shares including credit rating, type of preferred, dividend plus any redemption terms? Sedar is too cumbersome for this.

Thanks

Paul

Q: When does this preferred share reset? It has done extremely well since I bought it near $12 but the price can change as it nears the reset date.

BTW, it would be great if your watchlist info had the reset dates on the prefs.

Q: Seems like a large negative reaction of gold/silver/platinum prices to the Fed meeting. What's your opinion on outlook for precious metals given the Fed's comments?
