Investment Q&A

Q: BOS seems to pop today by almost 12% out of the blue, what happened? Thanks.

Q: I currently hold XCD and would like to 2 names for a RRSP , will not be withdrawing money for 10 years and would like to know which 2 names from AW.UN, MG or LNF would you add?
Thanks

Q: I follow the Balanced portfolio for my RRSP; it's time to make my 2021 contribution. My goal for this account is steady, long-term growth while accepting moderate volatility as it is all-equity.

I have a small amount of TOI from the CSU spin-off, and am contemplating adding to it to bring it to a half-position, would you endorse this move? If not, then I would close my position since it is quite small at this point.

I would then have enough money to add to maybe 3-5 additional positions, which of these would be good to add to right now?

AEM, AC, ATD.B, CCL.B, ENB, GUD, MG, PKI, SHOP

I am fully weight/overweight the other Balanced Portfolio holdings so would rather not add to those.

Please deduct as many credits as required. Thank you.

Q: For these three companies, would they be good candidates for the TFSA, knowing they are smaller capitalization entities? And if so, what order would you suggest doing so or all somewhat equal.
......Thanks....Tom

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

The last question about this stock was on June 21, 2018. What is your opinion now? According to their investor presentation, they derive 55% of their revenue from the oil and gas industries. Given the recent uptick in performance of that sector, might VTX be worthy of consideration? I see that the latest average score from Thomson Reuters gives VTX a rating of 6, whereas they give 2 as an average score for XBC. Where XBC falls short, according to TR is in earnings (1), valuation (1), and risk (2), Your insight would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Aside from AC, what are 5 top of list "recovery stocks" ?

Q: Dear 5i,

Contemplating bringing down 10.54% AEM Weight in my TFSA to match 5i Balanced portfolio.

Option 1 - by 6.91% to match 3.63% AEM Position Weight.
Option 2 – by 2.24% to match 8.3% Material Sector Weight as I don’t own in Materials 4.67% of CCL.B.
My AEM Unrealized % Loss is 8.6%.

What would you suggest:

Question #1 – Bringing down AEM Weight now or wait for the bounce.
Question #2 – Bringing AEM down to match Position or Sector Weight.
Question # 3 – Buying CCL.B in the Materials sector now or wait for better times.

Much Thanks

Q: Hey guys,
You answered a question regarding LNF about hidden real estate of about 100M. Bill Harris' estimate is closer to 800M to 900M in today's market. They have 369M in cash , as of 2020. Market cap of 1.6B - real estate 800M-cash leaves 369 M = ~500M for the business. 160M earnings last year gives me a P/E ratio of 4-5. Which seems like a dream.
Is this a flawed way of thinking about valuation? Leon's has a boring name with little analyst coverage, A Peter Lynch special. What will it take for the market to figure it out?

Q: I'm interested in supplementing my regular 5i membership with your Portfolio Analytics tools. Is there somewhere where I can read about everything Portfolio Analytics has to offer or preferably even see how it generally works with some type of demonstration site. It's not an issue of the extra cost for Portfolio Analytics (seems pretty reasonable considering it also includes the 5i membership fee) it is more a question about understanding what it does and provides compared to other similar tools and services out there. I'm sure its great, just want to understand it a bit more before moving forward. Thanks.
Thanks.

Q: Can you tell me the difference between Goog and Googl. Thank you Wayne

Q: I have US stocks in my RRIF, Cash account, and TFSA that would total 150K. I am a Canadian, and I do not own any property in the US. Can I assume there are no US tax implications?

Q: Hello Peter et al:
Just a note of thanks. Some time ago I suggested that a portfolio assessment section would be helpful in a Q&A format here. You said it was a good idea but may be suitable for Canadian Money Saver, (CMS). I see now in CMS Portfolio Confidential has become a regular feature! This month's case history has so many similarities to our situation and is very helpful
Thank Ms. Barbara Stewart on my behalf and a big thank you to you as well!

Q: Hi 5i,
What did you think of earnings report? Just some profit-taking now after fabulous run?

Q: Just looked over recent results and it looks to me like their 2020 full year results were roughly the same or below 2019 numbers on some key metrics,this seems odd for a stock that is up 1600% in that year, would be in for a huge decline unless im missing something (my average cost is 5.05 and i am in for the long haul just dissapointed)what is your opininion here on the stock going forward B,S,or Hold and why thanks so much.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Your thoughts on Acuity ads earnings and it's prospects going forwards. As well, do you consider Unity a buy at present levels?
Thanks,
Bob

Q: Hello may I have your comments on their earnings please. Cheers
