Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
These are held primarily for dividends and (expectations of) some growth. Would you keep both for their different growth drivers and dividends or lean towards ENB being larger/safer at this time?
Thanks

Q: Good morning ... I would like to initiate a position in the oil field services industry.
Currently, I'm looking at Pason Systems and Trican Well Services. Which of the two would be your choice, and why?

Thanks, Rick

Q: Hello,

From all the companies in any of the 5i portfolios, would you be able to list which have been buying back shares or have had high insider buying within the last 6 months?

Thank you.

Q: PSI seems to be going nowhere since 2002 though it is good for dividend. Even though a value investor I am thinking of selling PSI and taking a position in GOOG at $166. I also have MSFT and a few other growth stocks. At that price is it OK to take a position in GOOG or is it too late? I have a time frame of 5 to ten years for this 80 year old.

Q: I am an 80 year old income investor with some growth. I have $20,000 to employ. The above is a list of my losers out of 50 winners in a portfolio of mostly the Income Portfolio plus 15 yield maximizer ETF's like UMAX. Should I:
1. wait for your monthly advice before acting
2. distribute evenly accross the losers
3. add to the winners
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Please take as many credits as needed.
Thank you

Q: How would you rank for purchase of ALA, BEPC, EFX, EIF, EQB, MFC, NA, NPI, NTR, PSI, SOBI, SOB, SU, WSP for a income focused portfolio?

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, Chris, and Team:
First off and maybe you have already answered this question previously but how do you think this "Tariff War" might play out after the bluff and bluster has completely settled down ?
Also, how do you think that across the board tariffs would effect PSI, NTR, and SIS in the short and medium term ??
Thank you so much. DL

Q: Hello 5i
Given the intention to increase a position of any of these currently held for income (and growth as all being held long term), in what order would you suggest could be most beneficial considering all are currently underweight.
Thanks

Q: What are your current thoughts regarding plaza reit as an addition to the income side of my portfolio? If negative, do you have any suggestions for stable high-dividend Canadian stocks that I can investigate? thanks, J

Q: chart please

Q: Please rank the five oil service companies to purchase at current SP.
Thank you

Q: Looking for updates on these three. As usual would think the possibility of higher returns comes with more risk…how would you rank them for total return 3-5 years?

Q: Do you have any recommendations for companies, U.S. or Canadian, that demonstrate good technologies involved in energy storage and smarter distribution systems. Any market cap is fine but fundamentals should be decent. Thanks.

Q: Could you please comment on the latest quarterly results. The market did not like the results.
Would you add to a position in a TFSA at this level?
Thank you

Q: Today shareholders approved the TRP spin off of South Bow. Will this ultimately unlock additional value for TRP shareholders and if not, would it be better to sell before the spin off? If its a sell, would CNQ be a good replacement in the same space? Can you suggest any other companies in the same space with a stable and growing dividend? (I already own ENB and Pembina).

Q: Hi - you initiated a 1.5% position in PSI on Mar. 26 and then increased its allocation by another 1.5% on Apr. 9.

You were also asked a question about PSI in comparison to NOA and TVK on Apr. 1, to which you replied you like NOA and TVK.

"PSI is a much more cyclical business than the other two (TVK is less cyclical, and NOA is currently in an up cycle), which we would not be comfortable owning for the long term. In terms of total return, we think TVK and NOA could do well from these levels over the next three to five years given their cheap valuation."

Can you please clarify - what are you seeing in PSI that you like? Is it something you are comfortable owning for long term? Why did your comments seem unfavorable to PSI while you were acquiring shares in your income portfolio?

Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i
Currently own both but I intend to sell AQN to top up PSI or release funds for something new.
My question is relating to the likelihood of AQN suddenly gaining attention and being re-rated to the upside, effectively making this a timing question.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Could you compare and contrast PSI, TVK and NOA, with risk and total return over the next three years being the primary concerns. I'm considering them because I've done well with KEY since buying in 2020 and adding here and there since then, and think it may be time to sell a third of KEY and re-invest the proceeds.

Thanks!

Q: Good morning everyone at 5i!
Quick question...does PSI increase its dividend yearly? And of so how long has it consistently doing so??

Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Please comment on the earning reports. Thanks a million.
