Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i!

Psychologically, I struggle to add to positions that have already gone up so much. I have positions in ATD, DOL, WELL, ENB, GSY, DCBO, LMN, TOI, CSU, PRL, TCS, VHI, HPS.A (as well as some others) and have some cash to deploy and weightings to adjust. I would like to know which of these positions would you feel most comfortable adding to positions at their current levels. Do any of them stand out more than others as opportunities to accumulate?

Thanks for all you do and best wishes for the holiday season!

Q: I need to increase my consumer defensive sector. Which would be your favourite among the listed companies or do you have a better suggestion on the Canadian market?

Q: For a 3 year hold,which would you choose?Thanks.

Q: Hey guys,

I know apples vs oranges but would selling out of Atd.b and purchasing Bn (making it 7%) make sense inside a "balance" portfolio?
Thanks
Jim

Q: Good evening. Hopefully a simple question for you. If you could only choose one for best overall returns over the next three or four years, which one would it be please? Or is it a close call?

Q: Your thoughts on just released earnings and future outlook, please.

Q: Why is TIH going down? Time to buy?
Many thanks for your hard work.

Q: hi 5i
Air Canada has big jump in share price this morning...What is happening here, can you provide update and whether this might continue......
Id situation is positive would it warrant a hold?

thx

Q: Today Peter requested "a list of companies domiciled in Canada but pay dividends in USD". Would it be reasonable to consider that those companies have would not be affected by tariffs imposed by the US?

Q: Hi 5i,

Can you comment Dollarama earning? Would you add to an existing poaition on this dip or wait?

Thank you

Q: Hi Peter, at the present I hold GSY in my RRSP at a slight loss and I was thinking of switching it out for SHOP. If a person could only buy one of these two companies witch one would be favored under today's circumstances and uncertainty. Thanks

Q: I was wondering which Canadian stocks do you feel would do well with the upcoming change in US administration, and which will do badly. I assume that most will change a bit one way or another, but I am concerned about significant changes - like with MG or LNR due to tariffs.

Q: All of these companies have really high debt levels, could you comment on their prospects and whether you would buy, hold or sell. Thanks!

Q: Good morning

Which one do you feel would provide me with the best return in a TFSA

Thks much
Marcel

Q: Hello,
I need to increase my consumer cyclical allocation.
I am thinking of starting a position in Dollarama.
What would be a good entry price for this stock?
Would there be another option you would prefer?
Thank you

Q: I am thinking of moving all my equities into ETFs. Would now be a good time to do it, or should I wait until March or so?

I have no tax benefits from doing it now. I feel that the US general market may be a bit inflated right now due to the US election euphoria. I also feel there could be some tax loss selling with certain stocks (like BCE), due to time of year. This could result in my selling my stocks low, and buying the general market high.

Could you please comment on this?

Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i staff
I have a portfolio consisting in a few etf’s and a few stocks for the American side. One of these is a small cap etf. On the Canadian side it have mostly large blue chip stocks. CSU, BNT, etc. These are mostly at the full 5% quota. I keep some of these smaller stocks, I suppose because I enjoy winning. The problem, though, is that I hate losing. I keep the amount of these smaller stocks small because of that fear of losing, I suppose. They are often between one and two per cent of a fairly large portfolio, which is low percentage wise, but still quite high dollar wise. I am an advancing senior with moderate risk profile. Have a modest pension, which allows us mostly to live without touching investments. I have been wondering lately whether I should just bite the bullet, take the risk and add more to these fast growers ( and from time to time, fast losers) or whether I should just sell them all and consolidate in the larger stocks and etf’s. especially since I can say that I have won the game? Perhaps I could keep a few for fun. But, I guess that is what I am doing now. I know that you cannot give personal advice. But, I find that you usually have interesting things to say about these kinds of situations. As well, it has been cathartic and possibly helpful for me just to frame the question.
Thanks for all the help you offer us
