Investment Q&A

Q: Besides GIL, I am having difficulty determining which other 2 stocks to consider for the consumer discretionary sector?
Also is there an ETF that could use as an alternate?
Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,

What stocks can you suggest for Consumer cyclical and Consumer defense? Preferably stocks that pay a dividend .

Thanks Colette

Q: I have shares in these two companies in my TFSA. I have sold another position and would like to add the proceeds to one of these two. Which one do you believe has the greatest growth potential over a 5 year period? Thanks

Q: Dear 5i,
What are your preferred companies in the Industrial sector? The first five that pop into your mind.
Market cap is not a consideration issue, and they can be either on the Canadian or USA exchange(s).
Thank you for all you offer.

Q: We would like your thoughts /advice on purchasing Canadian Tire at this time. Might this be a good entry point? Thank-you

Q: Good morning,

If you had to keep 3 of the 6 listed companies, which ones would you choose. The goal is for pure growth over next 10 years assuming all companies continue to grow and execute on their existing business and outlooks etc. No sector concerns but I want to keep 1 Canadian and 2 US companies. Thank you for the continued advice!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Pls comment on Kraken Robotics's earning and outlook as reported few days ago.

What is the reason for the 10% drop after it resumed trading today?

I own 1.5 position of this stock, should I continue to hold?

Thank you for your help and good works as always.

Q: I realize that BEP.UN could have US tax implications if not held in a RRSP\RIF. Does Bam.A have any similar tax implications or is it treated the same as most other Canadian stocks.
Would the maximum recommended holding for BAM.A be be at about 7.5% of the portfolio or since it is diversified by the other Brookfield companies would it be higher and if so what would the recommended limit be.

Q: Hi Peter and Company:
I am a growth investor, presently down on above 4 Canadian and 5 US companies.
Should I keep, sell, add or replace e.g. GC with TSGI.
Since US market usually outperforms CAN market I am fine buying all best US growth
companies that you will recommend...…..or mixture of US and CAN companies. Long term hold fine but not required. I will trade as required, i.e. when becoming aware of it. E.g. missed selling MX, where I had an nice gain but no alert to sell and now a significant loss.
Thanks for your advice

Q: Peter; Would cargojet be a natural target for either Air Canada or Onex? Thanks. Rod

Q: I own all of these in equal weighting (7% each). Down quite a bit on NFI. Just seeing if I should keep it and give it the long term (10 years) to provide a good return or sell because there is a better company to replace it with for a better long term performance at this point. Any other recommendations as I do have some cash side lined at this point (30%).

Q: Any reason for the recent drop? Seems to be falling fast. Good value at this level, or falling knife.

Thanks

Q: i own air canada and air transat, do you think there will be a bidding war. dave

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
I contributed some money into my RRSP account. I would like to have 5-8 Canadian and US names that I can invest. The investment is for a long term but it is also nice to have some short-term appreciation. Can you please recommend?
Thanks,

Q: Comments and analysis please on PLC's first quarter results just released. I am thinking of increasing my holding to 2.5% of portfolio.
Wise?
Thanks, Tim.

Q: This company continues to make the headlines with new contracts and good news... I know it is a Cannabis company which is overvalued based on current sales, revenue earnings etc, but they have a low P/S in relation to peers, positive EBITDA and positive cash flow from operations).

I own it already and recently asked a question after their 2nd quarter. Today they announce at $30 million agreement with Cronos Group for 18 months with an additional $30 million revenue potential PLUS a separate tolling agreement (which they also offer to multiple large Cannabis companies. They are close to EU GMP facility certification which will be a big step for them for sales to Europe and for medical cannabis sales. They have hinted at CPG deals in the works and with upcoming vape pens and edibles etc being legal in the fall it seems like there are lots of positive catalysts for this stock in particular. What to you would be a good way to value this type of company which focuses on extraction not dried flower sales. What are your thoughts on the recent deal announced?

Q: what are your 3 favorite small caps in canada, under a billion valuation.
and i know its not your mandate but a couple of smallcaps in the u.s. ,everytime you pick a u.s. stock for a member it seems to be a huge winner.
risk is not a factor. dave

Q: Would you kindly provide some info and opinion regarding these two companies regarding upside potential, risk, whether they're investable and any other comment regarding your advice, opinion and any caution you believe appropriate - thank you for your insights - Ken

Q: Thanks for your rapid reply to my question but I just have a quick follow up to the last line of your response which was: "Investors may also take some profits post closing, potentially causing an overhang and keeping buyers today on the wary side. "

If we are talking about post closing, then OH shareholders will have already received .8428 shares of CL for each OH share which would put them well ahead of where they are now based on the current disparity in prices between the two companies. Thus, rather than be wary, at this point they should be buying to take advantage of this disparity.

Thanks again.

Q: As can be seen, Cresco Labs is acquiring CannaRoyalty Corp. Can you provide any reasons why there is such a disparity between the price of OH and CL as we head towards completion of the takeover? As I write, CL is worth $15.65 yet OH trades at only $11.28. Based on the ratio of shares of CL they will receive, OH should be worth $13.19. If the deal was going to close in a year I might understand but it should be closing within a few weeks so the spread seems inordinately large.
Many thanks.
