Q: Hi 5i,

My question concerns CCL. I bought in 2017 just before the 5-1 share split. I am now underwater , not counting dividends for what is approaching a five year hold. I do not dislike the Company, however am concerned that I am holding onto dead weight. While I realize the Company had tremendous growth leading up to the split, it seems that it is now rangebound. Can you offer any reassurance that this phase is consolidation and that there is more growth on the way?

Q: In response to a question from Grant on Feb 24 you said "...we think GOOG is one of the easier stocks to buy right now" (re initiating a full position). 25 year-old looking to contribute $6000 to a TFSA, long-term time horizon. Given GOOG is currently trading at around $2700USD (approx $3500CAD) and with only $6k to work with, what do you think of using the CDR alternative (GOOG.NE at about $23CAD) instead, if looking to invest as much as possible of the $6k into GOOG? Was also considering BAM.A (already has some in the portfolio). I know they're both good companies but which of the two would you side with long-term if only choosing one? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I just saw a question on the percentage of renewable energy sources versus hydrocarbons for a number of companies, including BEPC, NPI, AQN and FTS. You said there was no material exposure to renewables for FTS. You may be right of course but what is the definition of renewables? Is it only wind and solar, or is hydro considered a form of renewable energy? If so, FTS has plenty of hydro power sources.
Thanks for clarification.

Q: I have been holding STN for a number of years. It underperformed WSP in last 5 years by large margin, but started catching up in last 3 years. In recent stock market correction, STN dropped much less than WSP. STN is still above 200 day average while WSP is currently below 200 day average. Year to today WSP also underperformed STN. What is your view of STN and WSP going forward from here in terms of future growth? If just to own one name between them, which one would you pick? Alternatively, should I catch this opportunity to switch to WSP?

Thanks,

Q: Peter,

Please provide your list of favorite utility stocks. Focus should be on debt levels able handle higher interest rates, a competitive yield and a history of regularly raising dividend payments.

Thank you

Q: The above stocks all seem to be pretty good value, do you agree? How do you see the next 6-12 months for them? Should I consider certain growth stocks at this point instead?

Thanks,

Stephen

Q: Just wondering if you would offer an opinion on what the likelihood is that both of these ETF’s could be higher a year from now? I guess what I am trying to ask is whether small caps in general might “revert to the mean” in terms of their historic relationship to larger caps regardless of whether growth or value is more in favour/out of favour?

Thanks,

Q: RBC analysts seems very positive on Discovery yet the share price is still down.
Trading at about the same level it was 5 years ago. I am losing patience but fearful I will sell just before this starts to take off (I have a history .... don't ask !!). I am down about 20% since purchasing in early 2021 at around $35.00 USD. If you owned this would you stick with it ? Any short term catalysts or concerns I need to consider ?
