Investment Q&A

Q: What do you think of their latest financial results? Is this a decent time to enter this one for a 1 year trade.

Q: BNN issued report this morning shows Canopy sales have been increasing since March 16th. Would you view this as good opportunities to add some Weed stocks?

Thank you,

Q: Hi,

Which would you buy for the long term or is there a better choice? I'm surprised at the low beta of both ATVI and TTWO as I don't like volatility.
Would you wait or buy now?

Q: Do you think Shopify can hit or exceed its old high of ($786.07) on its next earning report ?(early May)
It certainly seems to be tracking Amazon, which is hitting new highs daily.

Thnx for your great service you provide the individual investors!! 👍

Q: Hi 5iTeam - I am interested in buying shares in an online gaming company. My first choice would probably be TSGI but since it is amalgamating with Flutter I would need to go through a broker to either buy or sell in the future. Since it very difficult to connect with a customer service representative over the phone these days (understandably) do you have any other suggestions for three or four companies in this field that trade on any of the markets in Canada or the U.S. They don't have to be companies with pristine balance sheets but at least ones that have decent fundamentals and management along with a good chance of coming out on the plus side in the next few years. Thanks.

Q: What's your current view on Primo for a buy and long term hold?

Q: Between these 3 stocks which one would you have the most faith in and in what order would you rate them. Volatility is not an issue for me and I'm looking at a 5 plus year time frame.

Q: would you consider selling these and buying visa or other ones.we are longtime holder

Q: I would like to add a mix of income stocks to my portfolio (for a 5-10yr hold) which has been primarily growth oriented and comprised of a number of 5i’s BE Model Portfolio names.
a) Could you please rank the above listed stocks for dividends with preference for long term yoield of at least 4-5%, and growth back to YTD highs over the next year or two. Moderate to high risk is okay.
b) List any particular concerns you see with any of them.
c) Your suggestions for 1-2 better names in the current market to represent sectors such as utilities, financials, Telecoms, Reits, and ndustrials would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your wisdom and guidance over these unprecedented times.

Q: Hi there,

There are some high quality names that have not been beat down in the downturn (ie: KXS, DSG, CSU etc) which have not participated as much in the rebound, which makes sense - but if someone was looking for high quality names that have been beat down that would present a good entry point and a great opportunity at recovering and outperforming in a rebound, what would you recommend looking at?

Thanks!

Q: Can you please comment on the results.

Q: What are some of your favorite US growth names right now? I am a younger investor with some money to deploy. I have a 20+ year time horizon. I am not too worried about sector allocation due to having a defined benefits pension when I eventually retire (20+ years).

I am also wondering what US stocks 5i staff are currently buying and why.

Thanks for all your advice. I read the questions daily. Your support through these tough times (my first as an investor) has been beyond insightful and finding I am getting my financial education through your words of wisdom and advice. I keep speaking highly of you to my friends looking to get into investing and am encouraging they subscribe to your service as it is beyond exceptional.

Thanks for all that you all do! Hope you and yours are safe and healthy during these tough times.

Q: Hi folks, comments on Q results for Aphria...looks like actual profit of +.02 per share, and a beat on Revenue. Starting to see the many failures in Pot Sector, but Aphria has $500M cash, and appears to be 1 of the few leaders in Pot land. Raymond James called a bottom in Pot sector in Q1/20, stabalization in Q2 & 3 with bankruptcies/mergers/buyouts etc...and the few remaining companies start to thrive in Q4/20. Do you agree with their thesis...and do you think Aphria will be one of the survivors?? Thanks as always & stay safe, jb Piedmont QC

Q: Cjt is moving nicely. How likely will this trend continue, Also did they expand their ownership recently.
Intact what would impact their earnings in the nearterm say 12 to 18 months

Q: Wanted to ask your thoughts on this name. Keep reading advertising will be impacted but longer term their model seems to hold weight. Being isolated, many hours is spent on various streaming platforms along with web surfing. Also, no one is really focused on the election but I suspect once covid19 has peaked and stabilized it will become a larger focus driving an up take for TTD.

Q: Hi Team:

I think the market would be changing or, already changing due to the virus problem. People will value things in life differently. so, what sector would you recommend, and what 3 companies you would buy either in Canada or USA?

Thank you.

Louisa

Q: Hello 5i,

Imagine that you already have a diversified portfolio you are happy with and plan to keep intact with no changes over a 10+ year investment horizon.

Now, you've watched the recent few months of meltdown sitting with $50,000 of cash that you're considering putting to work, representing maybe 6-7% of your total overall portfolio value/net worth.

Give absolutely no consideration to sector/position weightings, geography (CDN or US or gloabl), or risk tolerance. The only consideration is a 10+ year time frame. You're investing in things for the long term. No trading.

Imagine this was YOUR $50,000. You show up to the office on Monday, April 13. What do you buy today, if anything?

Thanks for all your advice. Read the questions daily. Your takes on this current meltdown I have found to be quite insightful and of far more value than most financial news out there. For this alone I consider my subscription to be money well spent.

Keep yourselves and your families safe!

Q: Hi, I was thinking of putting $500 on ACB and wait 10 years. I figured if it ever makes it to $10 again I will make 10times my money. Do you think it will ever go back to what it was.

Q: Hi, first I wanted to thank you for this amazing service, I am so glad I discovered 5i!
I recently sold my business and have 10+ years before retirement. I now want to deploy this cash to build my retirement portfolio, I don't need any income from this portfolio for 10 years.
I carefully reviewed your Balanced and Income portfolios. With much improved valuations for many stocks in these portfolios, what are your suggestions for 10 best (in terms of possible appreciation) individual stocks or ETFs for a non-registered portfolio. Either from your sample portfolios or not, US or CDN.
Thanks again!

Q: your take on goodfood and their results.
looks impressive.
