Investment Q&A

Q: Morning guys:
Would you guys buy this great name right now? I just bought visa and MasterCard , what other 3 us blue chips would you look at for being on sale?

Q: On Dec. 16th, you answered that FTNT was probably your favourite large cap Cyber security company. Any change there? Also they have a lot of cash, do they have a good track record of acquisitions? Thank-you.

Q: Hi, my respected 5i team
I'm looking for some US stocks to buy in order to take advantage of the current market dip. Could you please recommend 4 or 5 solid names that worth buying now in the order of the most attractive to the least if possible? My time zone is about 3 to 5 years. Could you also comment the reasons of recommending?

By the way, I bought GOOG and NVDA last year upon your suggestion, only half position. Do you think it is a good idea to add more now?

Thanks in advance!
Jane

Q: I am looking at adding some US Industrials to my portfolio, could you give me your opinion on Honeywell and Lockheed Martin for long term income generating investments?Are there other US industrial stocks that deliver a good and growing dividend that you prefer?

Q: Hi Guys
Thanks for all your help during this little blip in the market. Thinking that with the new focus on Covid-19 treatment, medical supply companies might be a good investment, at least in terms of consumables. Do you think that might be a wise investment and if so do you have any favourites at this time?

Thanks

Q: What would be the best internet gaming company to buy with the casinos closing? Thx James

Q: ZWK has fallen dramatically in this oil and coronavirus crisis. It now yields more than 10% with a 16 cent monthly distribution. Is this higher yield now a red flag for this ETF and U.S. Banks in general? Your thoughts are appreciated on the risks for it going forward, and given it's holdings and exposure to this downturn, and history, the likelihood that it may cut it's distribution. Thank you.

Q: I am down 60% on Rubicon, in this environment is there any chance that they would go out of business.
I thank you for your guidance in this panicked time.

Q: I know there is crazy volatility right now, but am I missing something one this one. Approaching a 50% dividend that looks sustainable, P/E ratio is closing in on 1. What are your thoughts on this stock?

Q: Hi 5i Team,
In this crazy market, your opinion is very appreciated. I listed my holdings in both US and CA. Are you seeing any stock in the list concerning ( fundamentals changed or poor balance sheet etc) with SELL recommendation even with a loss. These are hold in 2 tfsa and the investments are 5+ years. These companies are hold with 4 diversified etfs and follow the markets and nothing to do about them and i'm always with 6 to 8% cash with "see and wait mode".
USA: MSFT,V,CRM,AMZN,ADBE,TTD,GH,AYX,DXCM,ISRG,AVLR
CANADA: ATD-B.TO,BAM-A.TO,TRI.TO,LSPD.TO,ECN.TO, REAL.TO, CAE.TO
TFII.TO,SHOP.TO, WSP.TO, PBH.TO, DSG.TO, KXS.TO, PLC.TO,GSY.TO
BYD.TO, CSU.TO, PEO.VN

Thanks for help with this"Knocking Out market"

Q: Can you rank these 3 companies and justify the ranking?

Q: I'm looking for a stable US residential REIT. Who would you recommend?

Q: Jeffries has stated that rebound candidates in the market are CRM, CTSH, EMN, CVS, WBA - could you give me an opinion on these candidates?
Seeking Alpha mentioned an expert (I didn't catch his name) predicting that the S& P 500 will hit 2300 before recovering. Your opinion on that? Thanks for being around during this crisis.

Q: Is there an ETF that concentrates on 5G technology.
One that may be a candidate to acquire in the down market or would CSCO be a better choice.

Q: First off I just want to say thank you so much for your special report you issued last week. For a young investor like myself who has never been through events like we currently are experiencing your advice has been extremely valuable to help navigate these uncharted waters.

I have been sitting on some cash and would like to increase my technology (both Canada and the US) exposure as it is low right now. I am comfortable with moderate risk. I have a few questions on this subject so feel free to subtract as many credits as you see fit:
1) For Canadian tech companies, after reading your special report and the Q&A's, it seems you like CSU, KXS, DSG, and SHOP. Would you recommend buying these individual companies (or others?) or would XIT be a reasonable alternative with these 4 companies composing ~61%? Or is there another tech etf you would suggest?
2) For US tech companies (or any US company for that matter), with the Canadian dollar being low, would you recommend looking at specific US companies or a Canadian ETF that holds US tech companies? I am worried the exchange would eat into possible returns. Do you have any recommendations (e.g. I have seen you mention XQQ for an etf, SKYY highlighted in etfupdate, and companies like MSFT, GOOG, TEAM, etc)?

Thanks for all that you do.

Q: Hi,

The company reported earnings this morning. In light of that , could you please share your opinion on the stock.

Thanks

Q: Which American airline stock has the strongest balance sheet and/or is the best investment after the smoke has cleared.

Q: I’m looking deploy some cash. I read your report on which Canadian stocks to look at but can you recommend 3-4 American stocks to start picking away at?

Q: I see the Jeffries downgraded Welltower yesterday, with a price target of $52. I realize that COVID-19 isn't helping here, but this stock is being beaten down to similar levels to that of airline and cruise ship stocks. Do you see that as logical?

I see that this stock can fluctuate from about 20% below Morningstar's Fair Market Value to as high as about 10% above. Of course at the moment we're talking closer to -30%.

In your opinion is the balance sheet okay?
On my TD Wealth screen the dividend payout ratio - 290% - seems out of whack but I believe it should be calculated differently for REITs (?)

As always, thanks for your informative responses.

Q: I currently own IHI and GOOGL (only about $8000 in each} and with the recent severe downturn am looking at adding additional funds ($16000) to my portfolio. Am considering MFST and/or ESLT or would you recommend just adding to my existing holdings. These funds are in an non-registered account.
