Q: These are the US holdings in my RSP. All have done well except for SYK down about 8% with a limited outlook for the rest of 2020 based on the Covid pandemic. Regardless of sector weighting, what are your favorite 2 or 3 US equities for growth over the next 5 years? I'm okay with a moderate risk.
Thanks in advance,
Greg.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Today (rightly or wrongly), I used the large uptick in the share price of CAE to sell my position that's held in my TFSA. (I sold with a gain of 4%, not counting the previous dividends.) I feel that the "airline" sector will still be under pressure after the present euphoria settles down, but who knows?

Having said that, please suggest two or three stocks or ETFs from each of the following sectors that could be considered somewhat defensive as well as being suitable for a TFSA. Portfolio Analytics indicates that I'm underweight in:
Basic Materials
Communication Services
Consumer Defensive
Energy
Financial Services
Healthcare
Industrials

Please deduct as many credits as you deem necessary. Thanks for the continuing superb service especially during this unusual time.

Q: Hi, US airline stocks had over 75% recovery, from the March lows. Airlines also responded positively to last week's surprise of positive employment numbers. Air Canada had been a favorite of various CDN Portfolio Managers, but the stock fell to its lows in March with the sector. The stock price has seen a nice recovery over past few weeks but is still way below its Pre-COVID levels of $50+. Company now has decent liquidity after recent equity/debt offering. Do you consider it a smart move to start building a position in the company, for long term, at current levels ? If so, should we start with, let's say 1% position and slowly increase to 2-3% ? What are the important factors to watch, over next several months ? Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i, I am piggy backing off a recent question by James, but if you can disregard sector diversification and risk is also not an issue and main goal of course is capital appreciation.

"If you were starting a new account with 100k with a portfolio of 10 US equities, with a 10 year time frame, which 10 would you currently choose?"

Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
