Investment Q&A

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
This gold company is up 12% on high volume. Your opinion please...what do you think? Thanks for your help.

Q: What would you recommend as a safe income generating U.S. Utility sector ETF's? Can you provide me a couple ideas, thanks.

Q: With the markets at all time highs, are there certain stocks you think people can scoop up or add to that have good growth opportunities at a reasonable price? I know 5i is not usually worried about buying companies at 52 week highs, but it is still something difficult for me!

Q: Recent answer to question from Rajeev regarding Lumine lagging Topicus... part of your response... "LMN is now currently cheaper on valuation. We think $130 makes sense for TOI and $33 for LMN. "

What valuation are you using here for LMN being cheaper?

Q: I have half positions in AGI, KNT and ABX and want to increase my gold exposure. What are your two highest conviction names in the large cap producers space (miners or royalty companies), mid-cap producers space and small cap producers space?

Q: Do you expect better results going forward with the changes being implemented? What would be a good entry point? Do you foresee any significant headwinds?

Q: I hold a position in this company and am down in excess of 50%. Would you recommend moving on here before tax loss selling takes hold? Or do you think the share price has already been impacted by tax loss selling. Do you see a near term catalyst which could support a share price rally? There as not been a query on this company in several months; please go over most recent quarterly and annual results. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i

You have suggested NXE ($8.20) as a good way to play uranium demand. With actual production still 3+ years away, do they have enough cash to get there or will they need to issue more shares or debt? And your thoughts on the potential of a takeover, what are the odds and who would do it?

Thanks, Greg

Q: I continue to hold this and would like your thoughts. It appears very inexpensive. Is this a case of being out of favour with investors or are there red flags that I am missing? If you have the estimated cash flow per share for 2025 that would helpful.
Thanks folks!

Q: Hi,

Why is this "Radio silence" on/from SMCI? When are they going to release their revised numbers? No news on their response to class action suits either. Next earnings report is on the 29th October. Is that when the proverbial muck hits the fan? Or do you think things might improve after their 10 to 1 split takes place on October 1st?

I see that this is not their first time with this type regulator related troubles. They seem to have survived the storms before. Will they survive them again?

The price action indicates a little bit of steadying around 400$. (+/-).
Can you gaze into your crystal ball and a. give us a floor and a ceiling, say with December 2024 in mind, b. tell us when it will hit at least 700 again? (Pre split price.)

Many thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on this company? Is there something you prefer in this space?

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
I used to own Encore Wire.
I’m considering Belden or Eaton as a replacement. Could I have your thoughts and preference please?
Thank you
Dave

Q: What has driven SMTC to its breakout share price. What are your current thoughts. Is it a buy?

Q: What are your comments for current new money in these small caps

Q: I own both Propel and Goeasy. Goeasy I've owned for quite some time, Propel I have been adding to slowly for the last 4 months. I would like to continue to own both. Would you balance the two out by selling some Goeasy to equal out the value of the two? If not, what sort of ratio would you suggest.

Q: What is the best way to reduce the max drawdown in a long term growth investment portfolio that has increased a lot in value over the years? What are some strategies or things for investors to be cognizant of or do over time?

My investment strategy is to buy high quality compounders and hold them a long time. My top sectors by weight are tech, financials, industrials and cons. cyclical. My bottom ones are utilities, materials and communications with energy and staples in the middle.

It always seems like my portfolio takes the stairs up and the elevator down. I'm happy with the returns so far and hold high quality growth names. Are there strategies to reduce the downside while enjoying the max upside? : ) Such as raising cash or hedging (PSQ, SH) at certain times, although this is market timing which I tend to try to avoid. Your thoughts? Thank you!

Q: I have owned this stock for some time and am in the fortunate position closing in on a double bagger. In similar fortunate circumstances I would normally sell out my original investment in 2-3 tranches.

ABB is a leader in industrial robotics and is evolving its electrification business (among other services) Both of these businesses make me hesitant to sell, given the growing AI influence on the world's industries. Power and robotics would seem central to the theme.

I would appreciate your insights on the AI theme and how well ABB may fit with the idea over the next 5-10 years. Understanding of course this is a Swiss firm and not one you follow closely.

Q: My losing stocks are LSPD (-65%), MG (-45%), CELH (-53%), and NXT (-40%) in my portfolio. I am contemplating an annual cleaning to weed out the poor performers before year end and invest the proceeds elsewhere.
Please recommend if any of the above mentioned stocks are still worth keeping for recovery in the recent interest rate cut environment ? if not, please rank the order of wipe out sequence. Thank you for your excellent service. Bill.

Q: Hi, What would be your favorite stock for the US financial sector for valve and growth in the next 2-3 years? Also if this is not in the banking sector, which of the US bank would be your top pick?
