Q: I am interested in what 5iR thinks of one investing in TD’s fixed income TD Bank Semi-Annual Pay Step Up Extendible Notes July18 2023 to July 18 2025. The coupons rates are Year 1: 4%, Year 2: 4.4%, Year 3: 4.8%. With today’s volatile stock market is it better to invest in this fixed income vehicle instead of stocks. Thanks … Cal

Q: Today Jeremy Siegel was asked about the main sources of market returns for investors i.e. multiple expansion, dividends, earnings growth, stock buy backs.

The person asking the question said that over the last 10 years 40% has come from multiple expansion, 15% dividends, most of the balance from earnings growth.

100 years ago 50% came from dividends.

The Q then was “ where will the returns come from in the near future?”

His answer focused on the massive role played by STOCK BUY BACKS.

Finally my Q:

Do you agree with that looking ahead this will be a major source of stock returns ( vs multiple expansion and dividends)?

Is there a filter to ID companies with the highest buybacks( similar to historical data on dividends)?

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,

I am not a big fan of ARKK or Cathie Wood. On a year-to-date basis, ARKK has fallen more than 50%. But I am fascinated with Cathie’s all or nothing investment approach. ARKK invests in disruptive technology firms. Her high risk and high reward investment style reminds me of Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell in the movies Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick. You either reach Mach 10 or crash and burn!

My question for your team relates to ARKK’s top ten holdings: ZM, TSLA, ROKU, CRSP, EXAS, TDOC, PATH, NTLA, SQ, and BEAM. Which of these stocks have fallen sufficiently so that a high-risk investor can safely purchase them for a five-to-ten-year hold? Also, what is your ranking of these ten high tech disruptive companies? Living life in the “danger zone” has its attractions.

Thanks,

George
