Investment Q&A

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

Q: Have a small position in UTX(US). The company has declared a spin-off of Otis and Carrier which ( I assume??) will leave me with shares in three companies as opposed to one company. I tend to not like small positions as it is now three times more work to moniter. What would you do? Sell UTX now or just accept that I now have two additional companies to watch? Thanks Ron

Q: I'm interested in investing in any North American companies that would benefit from the 5G network infrastructure that is being put in place in the world. I'm thinking of companies that would build 5G networks but it could also be companies that would benefit from 5G. Can you please list your top 3 choices? Thanks.

Q: Hello
Could you comment on recent earnings of Diagio and Mondelez?
Also could you comment if you believe these are good "consumer staple" names to own or if you think there are much better names out there ?
Thank you

Q: Hi,
Having held some cash aside, waiting for a pullback - I am now wondering which companies I should focus on purchasing first during the downturn? Obviously I am looking for those that are good, solid companies with growth potential. Dividends is nice feature, but not a requirement if the future prospects for the company are strong and debt is low or non existent. I do not currently have any REITs and only AQN in utilities, ENB in energy as I lean towards growth more than income and usually overweight in stronger sectors and industries. Please provide some suggestions, US or Cdn, that have caught your interest recently, as I always value your suggestions.
Thank you,
Dawn

Q: Hi 5i team,

There hasn’t been a question on DOCU in many months. I know it is expensive on many metrics but that is the same with many tech stocks. Even in the past two weeks, with the market turmoil over the coronavirus, I have noticed that DOCU keeps making new highs. As you know, DOCU’s core product is the ability to sign all business, legal and real estate documents electronically. There is no need to meet with another human being, be in the same room with them and breathe their air. We can all just live in a bubble. I know I am going over the top here, but what are your current thoughts on DOCU? I have not seen any recent news. It is also one I follow for its takeover prospects by a big tech company.

Thanks again.
Dave

Thanks

Q: Own a bunch of the 5i favourites outside of the above. Building up cash to deploy in a TFSA. Thoughts on these for the long run and buying today? I like the CDN names as you have reports on them and it give a bit more confidence in the name. I do own KXS and was wondering if there is overlap with DSG?
