Investment Q&A

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

Q: Today (Oct 10) you identified Loblaw (L.ca) as a "forever" hold. Have you all seen a doctor about this problem? L is in a most challenging and very vulnerable sector. Razor thin margins which cannot always be made up in high volume.

Please take this comment 9not a question) in good humor. I write tongue in cheek because the inclusion of a supermarket in your supplementary list baffled me no end.
Sent most RESPECTFULLY

Q: With all the rebuilding that will have to be done to restore those storm ravaged areas do you expect to see any Canadian miners, forestry companies etc. benefit from the increased demand for resources over the next year or so?

Q: Hi Team ,
I am thinking about taking half-positions in AGT and DHX.B two companies that I have been following for a while.
AGT and DHX.B seems both interesting considering their long term potential in their respective market especially following their respective recent steep price drops that make them more attractive. I would like to have your opinion on these Companies.

I also want to add ET in my RRSP. Evertz is a bit intriguing, It seems to me that the market valuation is on the low side (Am I right?). The company seems to offer a good potential but the share price seems to be going nowhere since a while, any idea why.

What is your opinion on taking a position in ET at the current price level?

Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Happy Thanksgiving! I am looking for 'sleeper' picks to tuck away and look at again 3-5 years from now. Other than GUD which you have been vocal about it being that kind of stock, could you recommend two of your favourites in each of the small, mid, and large cap segments of the market. They don't need to be new, they could just be unloved, unfollowed, or under appreciated. Thanks!

Q: I am new to this forum but have been 'investing' faithfully for over 30 years (what that really means is that I have been funding both mutual funds and the investment advisor buying them - last year that was $9,000 for the investor for me and my husband combined for the mutual funds to earn net 4.4% (the SandP/TSX was at 17.51). I'm tired of the high anxiety fear factor he generates for 4.4%. For the fee, he can earn us between 2 and 4% in coming years and insists this is a good thing.
Why wouldn't I buy Berkshire Hathaway A with the money currently invested in mutual funds and the advisor and invest on my own using a couple of your portfolio models with the money I have stashed? At this stage I am 56 years old so not a big risk taker and want to preserve what I/we have. With thanks, Wendy

Q: Hi 5i team,

I trimmed a couple of stocks recently from gains (thank you for that) and was wondering if you could give me a couple stocks to buy now for a 5-10+ year hold with medium to high risk? Thanks!!

My portfolio is as follows with pretty balanced positions:
ATB, BNS, KXS, CSU, BYD, SIS, PHO, TOY, DOO, SHOP, NFI, CSH.UN, GUD, SLF, PBH, GSY, SJ, RRX, and CRH.
