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
My daughter asked for my recommendation on where to invest the $22K she and her husband have in our two grandchildrens' (10 & 7) RESP. They are currently in a 60/40 set of bank mutual funds, and they contribute $100K a month. They are prepared to accept moderate risk. I don't particularly like bank M-funds, and am thinking to suggest 40% in a 5-year GIC, and 60% in blue-chip dividend payers like BCE, BNS &/or ENB. I would appreciate your advice on my general approach and stock picks.

Q: Hi Guys, my above holdings got wacked lately and was wondering if there is anything going on, from the above list should I sell anything besides WEED, are the institutions selling these companies because they think there is more to the downside? These are long term holdings are all up except for COV and KXS which I just bought before the tumble, not one of my best moves.

Thanks

Q: Hi,

SHOP has held it's own very well wondering if it would be a good idea to reduce SHOP to small position from full position. And buy SIS, BNS, NFI or PBH..for safety and growth when the markets decide to rebound...Your thoughts and sage advice welcome.
Also I am surprised at SIS sharp drop for a small miss...Should I be taking advantage of this?

Thanks. Shyam

Q: I’d like to invest in companies with excellent balance sheets, a clear catalyst for growth, and which are trading at a discount to their historic valuation. I’m hoping you can provide a list of stocks, both domestic & foreign, that meet these criteria. Are there any sectors or countries with an abundance of such companies right now? If so, please suggest some appropriate ETFs. Thanks very much.

Q: HI Peter
The numbers for the quarter were good from revenue but not profit, but the longer term numbers were good. Also, i would think for an emerging company, the revenues should be the focus, but I am assuming the market will bring it down like the rest of the cannibis stocks. What do you think of the numbers and do you think Canntrust looks good in comparison to others? Thanks
