Q: Tax loss season is an opportunity to shop for bargains. Can you name 2 or 3 that are excessively beaten down, therefore likely to bounce and rise further on fundamentals?

Q: I currently hold XHC to give me some global health care exposure. It is ~ a whole position for me and is currently down 4.5%. My other Healthcare stocks are Well and Abbvie.
Do you have some other healthcare names that are solid but growing. With or without dividend.

Outside of Canada to get USA or World exposure.

Or would you stick with XHC?

Thanks.

Q: Hello, Lumine shares have rallied almost 20%, since TD initiated coverage on Nov 14, with a BUY rating and $28 price target. Based on its present valuation and growth prospects (5-10 years), vis-a-vis, CSU/TOI, would you be comfortable increasing current position size of 1.75%, even after the run up ? Or would you suggest to add to 3.50% TOI weight ? ( CSU, already being a large weight ). Thank You

Q: I own a couple of banks, SLF and MA in my financial allocation. Thinking of adding GSY or BN. I know there different in size, but GSY probably offers more growth.

Would you be comfortable adding GSY with a 3-5 year time commitment, or is BN the better choice?

Q: Hello 5i team,
You entered a position for NBLY of ~$34 in the growth portfolio. Since there was a tentative offer to go private of $20.50, what is the rationale to stay? Is it in anticipation that the offer would not go through and continue to hold going forward into the future?

It seems that there is no reason for this stock to ever go past $20.50 until this is finalized, or am I missing something here.

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hello,
My holding of Waste Connections has increased substantially in value. The stock price is slipping and there seem to be a number of concerns with debt and return on capital. Your detailed comments would be appreciated.

Are there some industrials with better future prospects? What industrials could WCN be replaced with and why would they be any better?

Thank you,
V

Q: Can you help further clarify your answer to Ian's question on high yield bonds? You mentioned you prefer an active strategy, wouldn't that translate to holding HYI in the Income Portfolio instead of the current passive XHY? Then again passive XHY has outperformed over 1,3, 5 years and since inception.

Q: Still looking into tax loss selling. The last few days have made me somewhat apprehensive, though. Things can shoot up fast. I have, unfortunately, fairly substantial losses in these three. Does 5i have any objections to selling, with the perspective of buying back later?
Thanks for your excellent advice
