Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Team,

Can you please rank the above Canadian Equities looking for best possible returns over the next 2-3 years. Thanks again!

Q: Which tax loss proxies would you suggest for the following companies?
Are there some that you would rather stay in cash for a month or just sell out right and buy something unrelated?
I am a bit hesitant to sell BN,GOOG and AMZN for a tax loss as I feel they have the most bounce potential on good news. What do you think of that?

Q: What would be your best three stocks for a long term hold that have a good combination of dividend yield and modest growth on both the US and Canadian side of the border ?

Q: Retired investor with RIF and pension income looking to deploy capital to generate growth (moderate risk) and income. Please provide 5 companies each in the US and Canada to investigate further for investment soon. Canadian banks and utilities owned, so please exclude those.

Q: do you think the whole brookfield group, bn, bam, bip.un, bep.un are dropping like crazy because the bad press getting lately with mark carney etc. or is it just because market on whole. They have all taken a good kicking the last two months or more.

Q: Greetings,

With respect, why do you think so highly of BN?

MarketGrader.com (supplied through BMO) concludes the following:

1. Poor fundamentals
2. Growth = C
3. Profitability = D
4. Value = B
5. Cashflow = B

The yield at 0.8% is inconsequential .

I look forward to your comments.

Cheers

Q: How will BN be affected by tariffs?

Is it a good buy at these levels..

If the trade war calms down….. which companies will gain the most.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I have read your previous responses on Alternative Asset Management providers and particularly your thoughts on BN.

The above list of companies are likely to fall significantly in this down market and I was wondering at what prices would you buy and which are your favorites now.

Cheers and thank you in advance.

Q: Only within the last two months we were at record highs, now we’re in a bear marker for the Nasdaq and S&P nearing one. Futures are selling off again here Sunday night. US administration is digging the heels in on these tariffs.

What are your thoughts on the Trump and Fed put? If they don’t change course soon, the economy is going into a recession and midterms next year will be ugly for the GOP. Looking back at all previous crises, what do you think will happen in the next 6-12 months and what’s the game plan? VIX at these levels and large consecutive down days have resulted in nice future returns 1,3,5 years out. Let’s say you had 100k to invest now, how would you deploy over the upcoming weekly or monthly interval? Which 5 CDN and 5 US stocks would you continue to buy on any weakness, assuming only market related? Thank you!

Q: What stock in the balanced equity would you be buying into today for a long term hold (noting that you wouldn’t back up any kind of vehicle into this market)

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I hold the securities listed above, as well as a couple of more stable ETFs and some cash in my TFSA. I am aware that things are going to be volatile at least for the near future but am wondering in what order an investor might deploy cash to any of these securities given the correction we are experiencing.
Thank you

Q: Hi bad day to be sure I see you suggest buying into some stocks but slowly.
What are the best sectors to buy first now that this black swan event is in play. Please give me you top 4 sectors in order of preference. Also you top 2 picks in each of the 4 also in order of preference as well please

What do you think is the worse case scenario as far as market drop % wise I release its just a guess but you guess is almost certainly better than mine at this point

Q: Hi Chris, With today's blood bath, please advise if you think of screaming buy high conviction stocks for growth and dividend. If possible price range too. Thanks

Q: For a long-term buy and hold in a growth-oriented TFSA account, which of these two stocks do you see makes more sense? A brief explanation of why would also be helpful.
Thanks

Q: If Peter had to give three picks on BNN Market Call that were Canadian, what would they be?

Q: Hi Group please share your top 4 sectors c/w 3 stocks in each. (please rate the 3 in order of preferred order to add) also if you could suggest a good entry price (i intend to average in over the next 6 months presently no defense /manufacturing exposure also light on health care. I have 20% of my portfolio in cash. thanks

Q: I own BN with no intention of selling, but I find the dividends of the other Brookfield's interesting for my RRSP account with the potential of some capital growth as well. I know this type of question has been asked in the past, but not since the market downturn. Would you see a benefit of owning any of the others along with BN, and if so, which ones, and what would your total percentage of Brookfield holdings be. Thanks!

Q: Hi Guys,

With ALL the uncertainty in North America, what would be your top 10 stocks for 3 to 5 year hold?

thanks

Jim

Q: I would like to narrow this list down to the best 10 to hold in a long term taxable portfolio. What would you suggest be the top 10 stocks? I currently hold all of them but would like to sell this down to 10. I like holding 10 stocks with about 10% in each as a risk/reward balance. Thank you - and thanks for some of these names which came from you! I am only down on Amazon and BN at this time.

Q: A BNN guest said the Co. or someone else said they predicted that in 5 years the Co. would have $30. per share of cash flow which should mean a share price of $170. Are you aware of any such report?
