Investment Q&A

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

Q: My daughter’s RESP is underpinned by three broad-based ETF’s – VFV (30% of her portfolio) for US exposure and XIU and TTP (total 20% of portfolio) for Canadian exposure. She is a long-term holder of both Amazon and Nvidia (9 and 12% of the portfolio, respectively). After several sells (CSU, GSY among others) she has about 29% of her portfolio in cash. We would like to deploy the cash over the next little while. She will not be accessing the RESP funds for about 15 years so she has a long-term view. Given this situation, what Canadian and US stocks would you suggest we review? (note we are watching nvidia closely and will likely reduce it if it grows to be a larger portion of the portfolio). Thanks for the help.

Q: Let's say you love a stock, but it's already a big % of your TFSA. Do any of 5i personally decide to let their love of it overflow into an unregistered account?

Q: If you could pick just one company for a 3-5 year investment horizon, would you go with FTT, TIH, or HPS.A? I see that all three companies are at record high, is it too late? Thank you

Q: I have both CSU and LMN in an account at approximately equal weights. I would like to sell 1 and re-invest 1/2 of the proceeds in the other, thus reducing my exposure to these by 25% overall. Which should I keep?
I also will be doing the same with DSG and KXS in another account. Again, which is the keeper?

Q: If you wanted to add exposure to the waste management space, and wanted a Canadian-situs company (i.e., eligible dividends), would you favor WCN or GFL, or another company? It's for a more conservative account (long-term buy & hold).

Q: Hi! Another sharp drop for WSP on May 13. Why is sentiment so bad on this stock? Were earnings that underwhelming? They have a great track record for growth and acquisition provide a service that cannot be directly replaced by AI and is and will continue to be in high demand. The backlog is as high as it has ever been. Any colour on the price action would be much appreciated, because it seems
overdone. But maybe I am missing something. Thanks!

Q: Hi Team, I am thinking to initiate a position in Stella Jones at current levels. Before investing I have three questions you might help me with.
1- I was wondering if you can confirm my understanding that most of what they sell in USA is produced in the USA which, in theory, is thus exempted of Tariffs.
2- My understanding of the stock is that it could be a good defensive stock in case of volatility in the stock market since it is mostly an infrastructure stock, do you agree on my assessment?
3- The stock is down 15% since last week earnings. Am I missing something that could explain of that significant short term plunge in the stock? It seems overdone and I want to think that most of the downside is already priced in the stock. The stock seems offering a good entry point since the stock is now trading more than 30% below all time high however one key trading lesson is to avoid trying to catch a falling knife. What is your opinion on the potential upside for the stock.

Thanks in advance! Feel fee to take as many credits as needed to answer these questions.

Regards

Michel

Q: Hi 5i,
I have about a half position in SHOP and a one third position in DOLLARAMA. Same question for both. (I know you can't predict what will happen with price but value your approach here.) Do you think I should add mostly now to either or both or add more slowly over the next one or two quarters? Thank you.
