Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,

CJT can't seem to find a bottom. Any insight? Looking to add to my position.

Thanks.

Q: What would your market call top 3 picks today

Q: Hello 5i team, the listed companies have had a rough period in terms of performance in the last 8 months seeing an average of 30% loss over the past year.

What are your current thoughts on them and what would you recommend for an investor looking for a long term hold?

Q: Hello. David Rosenberg’s latest per a Globe article today:

“Best to hide in cash, bonds (Treasuries, Ginnie Mae mortgages, high-quality corporates), gold and the miners (silver too), defensive bond-proxies in the stock market that have decent yields and consistent dividend payout growth (stable dividend stocks are up +5% year-to-date), Japanese money market funds (ride the most undervalued currency on the planet and a BoJ set to raise short-term interest rates sooner rather than later), and diversify into the European Defense and Capital Goods sectors which now have more fiscal-related visibility.”

Can you provide some specific ideas (stocks and or ETFs) that match up with his recommended areas to ride this out?

Thanks!

Q: Please suggest a few names that are a good buying opportunity ( and at what price) in this voilatile market….. something that we can buy and hold for 5 yrs.

I am not looking for a quick profit….. but something to buy at a good price in this volatility and hold.

Thanks
Harry

Q: Assuming the current selloff continues, VIX goes up to 35+, and recession is almost certain in the US. Regardless of sector, what US/CAD stocks YOU would buy for capital appreciation if you have CAD$ 100,000? YOU plan to hold these stocks more than 3 years and you believe these companies will survive the economic downturn no matter how hard it will be.

Q: Hello,
Is today a good day to invest in Canadian Company CGI? What is a good target buy price?
Also I hold Amazon in an RRSP and Vanguard in an RESP. Is it a good time, with the market drop, to increase holdings?
Thank you,
Jovan

Q: Would you have a proxy for HPS.A, TFII, BN, NTR, ILMN or just wait out the 30 days?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Would you add to ATD today? It appears that their bid for seven and i is progressing?
What would be a good price to add more?

Q: hi there, what price would AC be a buy ?, considering it will be part of the high risk portion of the portfolio with 2% max allocation, thanks

Q: How do you see the ATD stock reacting if they are able to buy the North American retail business of Seven & I? (initial reaction) And how do yo see it reacting if they cannot reach and agreement to purchase these assets? Does the U.S. SEC have to endorse the purchase?

Thanks for all your help? Mike

Q: I need to raise some money and own these stocks in an investment account, VGG is about 50% of the account.
I would like to sell 1 or 2. In your opinion which 1 or 2 should I sell?

Q: Hi 5i,
Could you provide your opinion of the likely direct and indirect impact of the promised US tariffs (or just the threat of same even if they don't ultimately come to pass) on the 1-to-2-year SP of the five noted names? I 'm not confident in my ability to discern which companies have a significant degree of immunity (although I think these 5 may).
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Regardless of sector and size, would you initiate positions in these stocks? In which order?

Q: Hello,
I'm looking for some tax-loss proxy ideas for the following names:

CAN: DEFI, DCBO, HPS.A, KSI, VHI
US: CLBT, NBIS, PLTR, SYM, FOUR

Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i,

My portfolio does not have any meaningful allocation in the basic materials sector. Given the recent drop in equities (and possible future declines) was looking to add some resource stocks. CS and TECK.B in the copper sector looked interesting with the data centre/ chip boom underway.

What are your thoughts on these companies and is there a preference? What would you consider to be a good entry price in the potential market dips to come?

Would also appreciate any other resource stock ideas you might have in this current market.(Aside from Nutrien I know your a fan of and I already own.)

I'm not averse to risk and looking to hold at least 5+ years.

Thank you in advance.

Greg C.

Q: With the pull-back, I want to take positions in the above at an appropriate weighting for a long term hold - the Canadian holdings and NVDA at full position, the others at 2-3%. Could you mark them at todays levels as buy, partial buy, watch or don't buy, and make any appropriate back-up comments. Thank-you!

Q: I am getting ready to DCA into these stocks in an unregistered account with higher than average risk profile. According to me, these stocks had a bit of a pullback with possibly more on the way.

In what order would you DCA into the stocks mentioned above? Is there any stock that you think should be excluded from this list?

Thanks

Q: Considering taking a 28% hit on Hammond to buy 5000 shares of DRX at 8$ as a way to diversify my risk on my aggressive part of my portfolios. Will still have 2500 of Hammond after selling 500. Your thoughts please. much appreciated. Larry
