Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning 5i team
I have a 1/2 holding in Enghouse and am considering adding. On the positive side, Enghouse increased its hosted and maintenance services revenue, increased margins and reduced costs in Q1 2021, and made an acquisition in Portugal. On the negative side, I wonder how much damage Enghouse caused with many investors with its special $1.50 dividend, and how long this negativity may impact them. Would you support increasing a position at this time, or biding time and waiting? Thank you.

Q: I am planning to purchase equal amounts ($) of the above. Do you consider these companies do be reasonably safe investments over a 3-5 year period?
Would you suggest a replacement or deletion for any of these companies? I am over 80 and am hoping to have a reasonable return from this investment.
And hopefully I will still be around to spend the gains.

Q: Teck lost 12% in 2 days. It's seams to be related to the Chili issue or is it? Management claim that they have an agreement with the government. ''TORONTO, May 18 (Reuters) - Canada’s Teck Resources sees little risk of higher taxes in copper powerhouse Chile due to a stability agreement that shields the company's massive Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 copper project from higher levies for 15 years, Chief Executive Don Lindsay said on Tuesday.'' What do you think? I'm a long term investor but find the drop steep and wonder if there is not anything else. We know politics have little effect long term but a change in leadership in Chili may change all previous agreements. It wouldn't be the first time we witness a government scrap a contract with a miner. Your take please.

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan

Understanding that timing the market can be difficult and trying to follow your recommendations for the most part has been very useful information. Thank you
I am looking to “lie low” through what I believe to be a coming correction and wish to invest in ETFs with some protection

I am looking at ZDY ZLU ZLB ZEB as a 20 % of my portfolio over the summer. Your comments please and so you have other etfs that might be of interest... Icahn comes to mind
