Investment Q&A

Q: Reviewing my portfolio and these are my losers. Any point hanging on to any of them? Surprised at BN as it always seems to have positive reviews and CYBR which I though would ride the technology wave.

Q: I need to choose one railway stock for my rrsp, out of the 3 which one would you say has more upside to it.

Q: I know you sold AC out of the 5i portfolio this year but I opted to wait for a bit.
It has now crawled back to my avg cost price and I do plan on selling. I know this is a 'timing' issue, but could you dust off your crystal ball and give an opinion based on any current information you're hearing, on whether to sell now or wait until after results are announced ?
Thank you.

Q: Hello, is CNR buyable at this level and if so, why? Should I wait in case there is an economic slowdown later this year? Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I was looking to add funds to one of the following 3 names: Bn, ATZ, or ATS. If had to choose which name would be the best buy today? My intention is to buy and hold long term.

Separately, what's your take on recent market negativity? Things seem to be escalating to the down side with Powell continuing to have his rosey goggles on continuing to raise rates as banks continue to fail, literally during his bumbling speech telling the world how solid US banks are? I know my confidence in the guy has dwindled as of late. Perhaps now is not a good time to buy and I should wait a bit with any new purchases? Opinion? Thanks

Shane.

Q: I would like to improve my buying and selling stocks. To do this, I understand that one factor could be referring to the Relative Strength Index (RSI). What has your experience been like in referring to the RSI for selling when over 70 and buying when under 30? In other words, how much weight should I put on RSI for buying/selling stocks?.......Thanks for your insights...Tom

Q: I’m significantly underwater on these stocks. Can you please advise which ones you’d hold, and which ones you’d sell? Can you please also give 5 growth stocks in Canada and 5 in the US that you are high on right now in place of the above?

Q: Hi, These look a little oversold, who do you like for a full position for a the long term hold. Sector not a issue.

Q: What has caused the big drop in Nutrien the last few days?

Q: Hello,

TRI recently announced an upcoming reverse split of their shares. This seems to to go against the usual practice of a reverse split whereby a low priced stock and out of favour stock (unlike TRI) will do one to drive up the price of their stock when it’s trading very low and in risk of being delisted as was the case of Bombardier recently and JDS Uniphase many years back. I’m having difficulty understanding why TRI would not just buy back shares via an NCI as opposed to a reverse split. Also, when is the reverse split scheduled and if I was to buy 10 shares tomorrow, how many of those shares would I have after the reverse split and would the price of TRI increase as a result of the reverse split as is normally the result of a reverse split. Many thanks for the amazing service that you provide.

Q: Hi 5i Research team,

Thomson Reuters Corporation just released their earnings, how do you take on the results? After the results release, the share price was pumping around a bit.

Also if one has new money, could you please suggest a few names to buy for a long term holding and looking for growth with medium risk appetite, thanks.

Q: SU, BN, TOU, GSY all received haircuts Tuesday.

If you topped up for long-term hold, what would be the order and rationale? Thank you.

Q: Currently down significantly on these names, especially SHOP

Please confirm whether all are “keep-able” in a long-term (10yrs+) balanced portfolio.

Would you add to any at current valuations, and which one(s)?
Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter,

We have TFII and WSP as equal weighted stocks. Is there enough difference between the two to retain both stocks in our RRSP's? If we were to consolidate, which stock would be preferred?

Thank you

Debbie and Jerry

Q: Why did the market react negatively to Bombardier's quarterly report? I didn't see anything that justified this drop.

Q: Good morning guys..
are u guys fans of this name .. with the recent decline would u purchase this story .. and if so what price would be a nice entry point for a 3-5 year hold .
Thx

Q: Greetings 5i,

Been a while since we’ve looked at WEF. P/E and P/B looks value. With the surge in immigration, sustained housing shortage, possibility inflation rolling down, and a pause in interest rate hikes, maybe this company and sector in general is just unloved enough to dip a toe in..

Thoughts?

Q: I hold the following in loss positions and need to raise some money and sell 2 of these dogs. In the past I have sold my winners hoping for recovery on the losers but I am trying to fight the psychology of that tendency. Could you rank these in with the 1st ranked being the highest conviction sell. Also, if inclined perhaps you could comment and provide your perspective on this most annoying human trait. John

Q: After literally years of doing nothing why is Spinmaster up so much today?
Thanks Len

Q: Did I somehow screw up? I bought some CTC - Canadian Tire ordinary shares - versus CTC.CA. CTC seems to have delayed price information and has dropping precipitously the last few days. Should I have bought CTC.CA?
