Investment Q&A

Q: The large toy companies have warned there will be big shortages of toys this fall and winter and that prices will be higher. What industries will be the winners and losers? If people choose not to spend on toys where do you think that money will be spent on, assuming it will be spent?

Q: Given your response to Peter's question of the 31st, would you add new money at these record levels or wait for a pullback"

Thanks, Mike

Q: Good Morning all,

What are your current thoughts on FLOW? For a diversified TFSA, would you see it as a buy, sell, hold? Thanks as always.

Q: Any updates with respect to your opinion of PFB? A bit of weakness lately, but just the joys of a thin trader I would think.

Q: Please rank the US and Canadian stocks listed above for growth with a 5 yr +
time-frame.
Thanks

Q: Hi there,

Looking for top 3 stocks for RRSP recommendations. Still young, and looking for medium risk.

Thanks,

Q: When do you expect well to be profitable.

Q: In my TFSA I am looking to move it to a more growth oriented stance. In keeping with this I have added ENGH and LSPD already. In what order would you sell the above (other than LSPD and ENGH)? I could sell off whole positions or just reduce the holdings either is fine. Any reasoning behind the ranking would be useful too.

Q: We have new contribution room in a small TFSA. Can you suggest 3 CDN stocks for buy and hold (even at these record levels) at this time ?

Q: India’s largest digital payments start-up, Paytm.

Do you have any information on when this company will IPO and if it will be available on the US stock exchanges?

Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and 5i,

Have you been able to peg an entry price for XBC? It bounced off $2.76. Is shipping and delivery the biggest risk to becoming profitable in the next 1-2 years as systems are manufactured in China? If so is it your belief that the next quarter may be severely impacted and we should wait?


Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: A bit of a blast to the past....I have held on to Covalon following its dramatic decline. from a long time ago. It has been bumping up in the last while and is now over $2.00. Do you have any insight into why it has been increasing? Any thought about its prospects going forward? Would you want to add to a very small current position? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Given the extremely explosive runup for this name to date, are you fully expecting a period of "consolidation" heading into the end of the year or do you feel the momentum could continue in the short term?

Q: I am confused and frustrated about the stock price movement as between BIPC and BIP.UN. Today BIPC is down approximately 1.67% while BIP.UN is up 0.60%.

BIPC recently hit a high of $100 and is now down approximately 23% from such high. Meanwhile BIP.UN is almost at its 52-week high.

I want to buy BIPC because I want to avoid the hassels preparing by tax return that BIP.UN and limited partnership brings along with it (mainly the delay of receiving the tax form from Brookfield).

My question: How do I know I am buying BIPC today at a market equivalent price to BIP.UN ? I want to avoid buying BIPC just to have it further correct while BIP.UN remains the same or increases.

The "efficiency" of the stock market is clearly lacking here and also with all the Brookfield limited partnerships vs. corporation stock variations.

Thanks,
Thomas

Q: Peter,

Bank profits are massively up. Normally they suffer when the interest rate differential between the deposits and loans is as squeezed as much as it is now. What is the big reason for the huge profit jump? Is it simply the loan revenue from mortgage lending, the reversal of prior loss reserves , the wealth management areas or something else?

Thank you

Paul

Q: I would like to take a position in this company but its had a huge run up. Would u wait for a pullback or take a position at this time? Txs Clare.

Q: I currently own these stocks that are underperforming in my portfolio and would like to sell and invest elsewhere.

What stocks do you recommend I sell?

Q: Is there any fundamental difference (other than the structure) between the two? BIP.UN is almost at all time highs while BIPC drooped 22% in a few weeks.

Thanks
