Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have about a 1% weighting in each of the following names in my portfolio: MX, PLC, BYD, MTY, ALA, NFI, TFII, GIB.A, MFC, SIS.
I want to refocus by eliminating 3 or 4 of these. Sector allocation is not a factor. Please suggest 3-4 names to eliminate (list the most obvious to eliminate first) and 2-3 good candidates to boost today (best first).

Q: In the Brookfield Group, which of the individual companies would be a good contender for a mid to long term investment for reasonable dividend and growth potential and why.

Q: are you at all suspicious of the complex interconnectedness of the Brookfield group of companies? All seems well but like the predecessor Hees-Edper group of companies, would a slowdown cause a tumbling of dominoes?

Forgive me for thinking 'thrice bitten - always shy' but it seems many are on the Brookfield boat.
Thanks

Q: Own ATE,BAM,BEP.UN,BYD,CPX,DSG,LSPD,PKI,PPL,REAL,SHOP, TFII,VFV,VGG,WSP,VIG, VOO.
I have 8.25 % in ENB with %UNR of -4.57 and 4.32% in PPL with % UNR of -30.67. Should I sell PPL and allocate funds elsewhere? Any sector other than oil and gas you would suggest allocating the funds. Sample of your top picks appreciated.

Thanks for your advice in the past. I like your new offerings. Due for renewable in November will be taking advantage of it.

Q: Apologize for the newbie question. When I look at Suncor's price chart, in my head something is telling me that it will double in one year? Why is not everyone buying it right now? It looks like a steal price and I'm even thinking about putting half of all my money into it. Please stop me if it's a crazy idea. Or if you have better stocks to recommend it would be wonderful. Currently I have 15% AC, 9% BAM.A, 7% KXS, 3% LSPD, 3% WELL. Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i team,

What’s your thoughts on Cineplex at its current price at around $8 per share after the recent price drop of 18% on Tuesday? It seems to have been hit hard due to the failed deal and bad earnings. The price drop seems to be too much with some of their theatres opening up again. Do you see this as a potential play for a strong bounce over the next 12 months?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Pbh : hello 5i Research team, Could you describe the significant differences (I presume) between pbh « premium food distribution » and Colabor whole food distribution operations? Why are the faith of both companies so different? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: I'm thinking about harvesting tax losses on both NFI and CAE. For NFI I would probably wait until after I receive the dividend payable to holders of record at close of business on June 30th. In regards to CAE I think we are seeing a second wave of COVID-19 building so air travel rebound may be delayed or muted. I know you like CAE but with Trump (and fellow travellers) in charge there is just not enough energy to really confront the virus so the airlines stay empty.
I have yet to rebuy any companies stock once sold. Probably should put the money towards gold, bumping up my 5% weighting a bit.
Any thoughts or concerns?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hello - I have some capital that i am looking to deploy and wondering if now is a good time or should i hold on to it.... in anticipation of another reset with news of a second wave, etc.

Also what are your top 10 -15 names right now regardless of portfolio balancing needs - open to American or CAD names - preferably limited small caps.

Lastly, i am kicking myself for not buying SHOP on the pullback.. is it still a buy right now in your opinion? or wait...

thanks so much.
