Investment Q&A

Q: Several weeks ago one of your members said they were seeking the safety and yield of CASH:CA and another name I can't remember or find again. This to ride out the market turmoil. I remember both names as being stable and having a decent dividend. Can you suggest the forgotten name or other names that are similiar and offer similiar features?

Q: Hi 5i
CCO ($92) is up over 11% today on news of a couple of upgrades with price targets of 93 and 95. The company expects a $170 million increase in its Westinghouse Electric stake, and there is talk of the US building 10 large scale reactors.
My dilemma is that I bought CCO at 56 in early April and am up more than 60% already. I'm tempted to sell now as RSI is over 80. I know you like momentum but the rise has been almost straight up. Would you sell some, all or none? It is in TFSA so no tax to pay and is less than 3% of port.
Thanks, Greg

Q: Hi, is it possible to hold U.S. stocks and U.S. funds in a RRIF in Canada enabling me to hold and trade U.S. securities without incurring exchange charges?

If the answer is yes, what are some self invest companies that provide a RRIF account in U.S.? Thank you for your help.

mutual fund in a Corporate investment account? Could you please explain your answer? Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,
In 2024 I sold my full equity position of GSY not at the top but did well for the multi-year hold (thank you 5i). I started watching for a possible rebuy particularly after the 5i report A-. One of my goals was to create a corporate bond holding portfolio vs a bond etf for a portion of my fixed income %. I noticed GSY has a 5-year 6% coupon with a BB- rating bond on the market. GSY does carry a lot of debt thus if an investor is fine with collecting a 6% return with a stepped-up risk protection profile within the bond world does this make sense? I am assuming in a downturn the bonds will trade down as well but since I have a lot of equity risk already would this make sense? I would plan to hold until full maturity and keep this in a registered account so interest tax is not an issue.

Q: I know this is not a fair question given industries, FX, etc....BUT if you had to choose one with a 3-5 year time horizon, which one would it be, BRK or BN?

Thanks as always.

Q: hi 5i
Share price has ticked up and seems to have settled at the lower end of the auction price......As the closing date nears and auction closes how would you expect SP to respond.... in general, would a higher auction price be viewed as positive and how do you think shareholder should view the results...

I am a little surprised the shares have not continued upwards a little more positively....

Would the shares price be expected to stabilize at the auction price or just continue their previous trajectory downward after auction close...
thx

Q: I notice that both ENB and EMA have high payout ratios. ENB seems to be about 138% on Dividendhistory.org and EMA around 98%.
Is this possible? What does it say about the safety of the dividend or do utilities use a different calculation when it comes to Dividend payouts?
Thank you
Frank

Q: Is DOL still a good investment opportunity for a longer term investor, even after today's dandy pop?

Q: Your thoughts on Dollarama's results. They seem to have a lot of pathways for growth. Keith

Q: Hi 5i,
Without concern for diversification, if both owned but at relatively small weights, would you shift out of one to top up the other? My PF suffers from extreme weightings ranging from 20% positions to approx 1% positions. I expect I would benefit from addressing the lower end ie buy more or sell decisions.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
Of the mag 7, I hold MSFT, GOOGL, and META. Please suggest the next mag 7 to hold or just add to those that I already have. This is for 7 to 10 years. My portfolio is balanced in all sectors as a blue chip, dividend, value investor with some growth. Eighty years old.
Thank you for your great service.

Q: Hi 5i,
Up on SMCI and down on CLBT - however both at fairly small entry level weights - without concern for diversification would you consolidate into one or the other at this time or let time work this one out?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i
These are held primarily for dividends and (expectations of) some growth. Would you keep both for their different growth drivers and dividends or lean towards ENB being larger/safer at this time?
Thanks
