Investment Q&A

Q: I'm in need of cash. Please place these companies in order of which you would sell first. Thanks.

Q: Copart is down 15 % in the last 5 days.
Why is it down so much?
Would you view this as a buying opportunity?
Would is your opinion of this company as a long term hold? How does it compare to RBA?

Q: Good morning,

I'm short on discretionary stocks. Looking at above 2 companies although Decker's is plunging this morning they have strong brands, they beat expectations but would not provide guidance. Buying opportunity?

Any other you like better even if not in this sub industry. Loaded with US cash

Appreciative of your services tried Jim Cramer for 4 months on a Christmas deal, Don't know how people can work with him quite the character and he makes my head spin. Loll

Have a nice day

Q: The TSX website puts CCL.B in the consumer discretionary sector. Whereas 5iResearch puts it in the material sector. For my spreadsheet of stocks owned, which sector should I put CCL.B in & why. Thanks … Cal

Q: Hi 5i, thanks for the Market Update report today. It would be great to redo this employment analysis breaking out public (government) vs private (taxpayers) jobs. Thx.

Q: Hello, I'm wondering your current thoughts on good industrials, Canadian or otherwise. I have already done well with WSP.
What is your current opinion on TFII? As a sector leader it looks like an ideal buy opportunity for those with patience. Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well.

Q: Do you have any suggestions for consumer discretionary buys, Canada, US or other, and is now an advisable time to jump in?

Q: Just looking for an update on this since last quarterly report. I’m looking to increase my resource exposure. If other core holdings to consider please list and use credits as necessary.

Q: When you look at the 5 yr. returns on these 2, Dol has outperformed, this has to be one of the best run companies in Canada, so is it a buy over Costco today.
Thanks Again

Q: Hold, sell, or buy more?

Q: If I would like to choose between these two in communication sector for income and long term, which one would you recommend? Thank you.

Q: The TD chief economist is predicting a recession for Canada, and is also concerned about stagflation. What are the best investments for our protection?

Q: CSU or BAM? 5 year hold.

Q: If ATD were to complete a purchase of Seven & I at a decent price, I believe 5i's assumption is that we would see a pop in share price. If ATD were to walk away from a deal, would the share price also increase (due to less dilution, debt, etc)?

In other words, is this a situation where the primary risk for ATD is overpaying for Seven & I?

Q: My grandson is graduating next month. As a gift I’m going to give him an initial deposit for a registered account, help him open it by attending a meeting with a bank, or help him set up a DIY account. I want him to choose TFSA, RRSP, or FHSA after doing some reading (he doesn’t turn 18 for a few more months so we have some prep time). I read The Wealthy Barbour in my 20’s, is it still a good choice to educate and motivate young people about savings as a lifestyle, or do you have some other suggestions? I would also love suggestions for 2-3 stocks or 1-2 etfs that would be suitable for the initial investment (that could be added to regularly to keep the process simple) if he chooses DIY. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i. Question #4 from me as a new subscriber. I continue to have about 70% of my savings in cash with plans to input through dollar cost averaging. A couple of weeks ago you suggested a spread over 6 months. Is this still your view? It seems that the rebound has taken place and I am worried about missing the increases. But I know we are still in an uncertain market. Thank you

Q: If you were looking to diversify outside of North America where would you be looking geographically? Which industries?

Thank you for all your help,

Mike

Q: Please provide your recent comments on these stocks. Are they buy, sell or hold in today’s market
Thank you

Q: Why the drop in PBH today ?

Q: ATRL hit a new high yesterday because they somewhat exceeded expectations and growth is forecast. Have your thoughts on ATRL changed? Certainly the company still has some legacy problem projects / debts but they seem to be resolving them. There appears to be growth, relating to CANDU nuclear reactor refurbishment inside Canada and new reactors in located in Romania. Romania is a member of the European Union but there is governance instability with the leading candidate being described as anti EU, anti NATO, Moscow (& Trump) friendly etc.

I have owned WSP for over 10 years now so I am well ahead but my weighting is still reasonable so I'm not looking to sell. I also have my doubts about ATRL but it is undeniable that the stock has positive momentum now so it is of interest to me to broaden out my construction engineering basket. ATRL is doing better but it is going to require continued strength in CANDU nuclear work to stay successful. I don't think the government of Canada will pull the plug on ATRL, the engineering talent is already inside ATRL but Romania maybe is a wild card.

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
