Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: The listed oil and gas companies comprise a 4% weight in my portfolios. I have been dying in oil and gas for about a decade. However, not counting the capital losses I have taken over the years, the current portfolio of legacy and new acquistions is miraculously above water. I have promised myself to never again be so exposed to the world's most manipulated commodity. If I'm going to folow though on this self-promise I need to think about liquidating some of these positions. Question: in what order would you take down these positions?
Best wishes for 2022. David

Q: Hi 5i & Happy New Year!
On the assumption there will be some names that will see a nice bump in January as buyers get back in after tax loss selling and maybe other factors have caused some recent price reductions, are there 4 or 5 that you would recommend as good candidates for early January purchase to take advantage of that bump before the tax loss sellers can re-up?
And if you think the idea isn't sound, please let me know, and why.
Thanks!

Q: Happy New year to the 5i Team,

Nice to see the CEO and other insiders buying on Dec 29th, same day I decided to take a position.

My request is, please provide comparison metrics to their piers in this space. In a past post you mentioned it could be a takeover candidate, who would possibly be interested if you had to guess?

Thanks again for your valuable service!

Q: Happy New Year to all at 5i and to the everybody reading this. Hoping that 2022 is a good year for all of us and our families, from a financial perspective and one of well being, health and happiness.

Reviewing some of the past questions, I see that the ECN distribution is treated partially as a dividend and partioally as a "Return on Capital". For the latter, would you know how this is to be treated for tax purposes? i.e. Is it a capital gain, income, ...

Thank You.

Q: New member of 5i Research, switched from Motley fool, I find the reports and coverage easier to follow. I don't see US equities coverage. Does 5I only cover Canadian equities?

Q: Hi Folks,
I am looking to add BAM.A to my TFSA for 2022 - I was wondering though, if higher interest rates and inflation could have a negative affect on the company. Appreciate your comments.
Thanks

Q: "Give a person a fish and they eat for a day. Teach a person how to fish and they eat for a lifetime." Thank you for teaching your membership how to become better fishermen (or fisherpeople). You folks should be proud of the work you do.
