Q: Hi, could you please rate these companies for a riff account. My goal would be dividend, growth and stability in down market. I have money for one company. (Would buying U.S. be beneficial?)
Fell free to add your favourite stock for my goals.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I'm looking at some of my losers and pondering either getting rid of the or adding to them.

DHT.UN, HMM, OTXT, TSU

With some room freed up I was thinking of starting positions in PKI and DSG

What are your thoughts on the 4 stocks I'm down on? Would you add to any of them or look to sell for better opportunities? How would you rank them if you were to sell?

What are your thoughts on DSG and PKI? Do you view them as buyable now for 5-10 year holds?

This is in a TFSA which aims to balance growth and income.

Thanks for the Great Service!

Colin

Q: Interesting comments in your latest Market Update about small caps. In addition to any potential upside in 2025, we are close to the possible annual January “bounce”. If you had to pick 5 (ranked) Canadian small caps to take advantage, which 5 equities would you lean towards? Also, is there an ideal ETF that would cover all the small cap basics? (2 questions)
On another note, long time member here who is extremely grateful for the outstanding service you provide. I’ve listened attentively, learned a lot, and have been blessed with some lucrative decisions, always guided by your sage wisdom. For that I offer a heartfelt thank you, and wish all at 5i a wonderful Christmas and another prosperous 2025!

Q: Magna, Parkland, and Premium Brands have seen significant declines, making them look like attractive dividend stocks with yields around 4%. What do you think about buying them for their dividends?

Q: Hello 5i team,
Welcome your feedback on PKI vs. CNQ and ATD moving forward? I've held PKI on and off for 11 years. I'm sitting with a 9.4% per annum total return and a 25% cap gain on cost. Plenty of drama between hostile shareholders and board. Shares appear dramatically undervalued. When comparing to CNQ and ATD (also holding) I'm considering abandoning PKI and investing proceeds into more CNQ and ATD. Pay the tax and move on reluctantly... Can you share your thoughts on this notional transaction vs. holding on to PKI while still quite "undervalued" to wait/see how the drama plays out or just move on? Thanks for your opinion and all you do.
