Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Team

I purchased XRB about a year ago or so on the thought that the ETF would do well during times of inflation. Was this reasoning incorrect?

This ETF has lost value since then and the distribution has been flat. Can you shed any light on this? Is it just a matter of time for the hedge against inflation to play out?

Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi 5i team.

Please give us your updated views on DKNG. In reviewing Q+A there has not been a thorough analysis of their technicals and fundamentals that I can see. Also, do you still like Flutter better as was stated in the past few questions?
What do they need to do to justify what appears to be still very lofty valuations even after steady declines this past year or so?
Is there an ETF that would make more sense to take out single co. risk?

Thanks for your guidance.

Q: Reko has just announced another profitable quarter. Revenues jumped significantly and outlook appears strong. 

During the quarter, the company re-purchased 35,800 shares under the normal
course issuer bid.

During the previous quarter, the company re-purchased 29,700 shares under the normal course issuer bid.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, a total of 238,800 shares were purchased and cancelled.

On December 2, 2021, Reko paid out a special cash dividend of $0.25 per share.

The balance sheet is pristine with close to $4 in working capital and a “hard” book value approaching $8(no goodwill on the B/S and real estate at cost).

Would you consider Reko to be a buy at these levels and what would you see as the potential outcome for minority shareholders (family controls 2/3 of the shares).

Q: Paul asked today about the men/women investing performance. This is a good article which talks about a 5.2 million person, 10-year study which showed women average about 0.4% better than men annually, and the reasons were less frequent trading and not trying to time the market.

Q: The company increased its dividend from 1 to 3 cents ( semi-annual) and its drill count. The year end numbers were good. I listened to the conference call and they said that they is a big demand for drills and they can get better pricing. Africa is not looking so bad a place to do business and the CEO was quite upbeat. This one looks promising for long term hold.

Q: Watching these two companies putting in new 52 week lows today. I know that the financial sector is out of favour but when I consider the growth rate of these two names I am wanting to purchase them. AFRM just stated it will exceed 3rd quarter and y/e outlooks. Could you give update and thoughts on these. Relative to growth are they expensive?
