Q: what would be a good sector to invest in with possible market downturn scenerios?

I've heard some people say commodities are a good play in a downturn espeically due to inflation but I can't see how they would be due to demand destruction from higher prices.

I think bonds and equities would both suffer - it seems they are more co-related nowadays.

Can you recommend a safe haven in anticipation both a credit-binge/inflationary-based downturn as well as a credit-bust/deflationary downturn?

Q: Hello, can you point me to where I can see your ETF model portfolio. Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,

I currently have a small investment in each of these two companies (NLC:CA and SLI:CA). The share price for both companies has increased significantly in the last couple of weeks and has generally been fairly volatile. I invested into the companies in the expectation that lithium mining will prove to be more lucrative in the near future due to the need for lithium in producing batteries for electric cars. I'm not sure if the share price is too high though at the moment or if this is only the beginning of the growth. I am unsure whether I should invest more into these companies right now or hold off for now. Do you have a target price for either of these companies? Do you have any reservations about either one? Is there a better Lithium mining company that I should shift to? Thank you!

Q: Is CU a good long term hold for dividend growth? Their recent dividend growth was lower than their historical average. Is this something of concern?

Q: Hi Guys, could you please comment on today’s earnings release?
Thanks and good day to all

Q: Thinking of moving some shares from a non-registered account to my TFSA. What would be the guiding principles to follow in such a move?

Q: Two part question. 1) What do you make of the company holding their conference call to discuss the (very poor) quarterly results FIVE days after releasing their results? You would think that management would want to get in front of these bad numbers and try to minimize the damage. 2) This company has transitioned into a turn around story with declining sales. Is this not an indication to sell?

Q: Hi 5i,
Regarding the preferred shares of ECN and the proposed sale and $7.50 dividend. This might be to simplistic, but here goes. ECN is selling the First Service division for $2B US. Paying out approximately $1.5B with the $7.50 dividend. Leaves $500M US. The preferred shares outstanding are approximately 7.6 million units of A and C issues. Total redemption value at $25 would be $190M Cdn. Their 5 year anniversaries are coming up on December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022. With coupon rates of 6.50% and 6.25% on the prefs, I would think there would be redemptions coming using the proceeds of the sale and do any refinancing with cheaper debt.
What are your thoughts on the above scenario?
Thanks for all your professional insight and advice.

Q: Would you recommend continuing to hold Enbridge with OPEC's current stance? Great dividend but if little or not growth, should I look elsewhere? Thanks.

Q: Hi there, I’ve held ECN ever since it was spun off from EFN and added to it along the way. I’ve read your comments that the stock could fall by 7.50 when the special dividend goes ex-div. So if it’s trading at 10.50 approx now and assuming it’s around same level at ex-div it’d fall to 3.00 which is close to my cost. How should proceed ie should I sell it now or buy more? Thanks
I just asked a question on ECN and whether I should buy more or sell due to probability stock may drop at the 7.50 ex-div date. So if I don’t sell and receive the 7.50/share and since I am DRIP’ing would I receive the DRIP shares based on 2.50 per share?

Q: I am considering buying some Brookfield stock BAM-A or BAMR. Do you have a preference on which one would be best?

Q: Hello,
With recent takeovers, and recent numbers which were okay, I would have expected Enthusiast Gaming to have surged . Any idea why this company is taking a hit (down today over 5 percent)? Would you consider this is a long term hold with possibility of takeover or its positioning in the industry? Thanks

Q: Please rank the above listed stocks and an explanation for #1? I am more focussed on growth as I have a significant time horizon. Also, which account is preferred for the following? Tfsa or rrsp?

Also these are currently my holdings in my tfsa. Would you sell one of the following for one of the above listed stock, or wait for new money? Thanks
