Investment Q&A

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

Q: HI Peter and Ryan.

I'm looking for some ETF suggestions listed in the United States for the USD portion of my TFSA. 1. A good diversified "portfolio" style ETF similar to Vanguard Conservative ETF Portfolio (VCNS) with a tilt toward income but also some equity exposure - this can be just US-centric or US + international. 2. a good dividend ETF, either US-centric or US + international, particularly one that is a "dividend growth" focused ETF. Can you offer a few suggestions for each question, and take as many question credits as required - thanks.

Q: Hi,

Wondering what your thoughts are on this company as a long term investment? Also is this the only pure play for AI or are their other companies in this space and would you consider any of them to be a better investment. Thanks a lot.

Q: Hi 5i Team!

I would be interrested in your view on Vitreous Glass Inc. The Ticker is VCI.
It came across my radar this afternoon, looks to me to be very underestimated.
Trading at $4.29. Average Price Target on Yahoo is $30.50. with a 12% dividend.

I'd love to get your thoughts. Looks to be very undervalued.

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team. Question relates to what symbol that one can use for, as an example US 10yr bond yield, or other bond yields (2, 5 or 20 year). I often use the TMX Money site to call-up various companies and ETF's, but it does not recognize bond yield symbols. My purpose here is to be able to track, compare various bond ETF's to bond yields. Any help in this area would be great. Thx for all your wisdom. Steve.

Q: The differential between BEP.UN and BEPC is down to a reasonable 7.8%. But between BIP.UN and BIPC the differential is very high 23.7%.
Can you explain the reason for this discrepancy. I believe this would be an ideal time to sell BIPC and use the proceeds to buy BIP.UN. Do you agree.
Thanks for your great service.

Q: Good day,

I was wondering if there is a good (free) source that publishes the expected future (i.e., next) date of earnings reports? If not, is it something you could add to your company profiles without much work on your end?

Thanks!

Q: Greetings and thanks for all that you do in helping retail investors.

3 or more questions here so deduct as many credits as needed.

What would 5i think of CMX? Looks like they have interest in a nickel operation as well as copper and gold. This came on my radar as a member of a group I share ideas with saw it possibly in a financial post article. All the same I would appreciate your opinion on CMX for a small speculative battery material/commodity play. What to be careful of and what to be hopeful for. Risks ect.

Also while we are on the topic of battery materials I would be interested in 5is general opinion of the sector? I have seen various sources stating battery materials are in short supply and are expected to be a major issue as we move to greater adoption of E-VEHICLEs. Further, what companies do you like for battery materials?

Lastly, I currently hold a 1.75% position in NOU which I think should do ok but would like 5i honest opinion here as well. Ill be hanging on to this for 3-5 years all the same.

Cheers and thanks for the insights.
