Investment Q&A

Q: I was planning on adding some or all of these to an RRSP and /or an RESP.
Any issues or better ideas. I am thinking ETF's and one or two blue chip.Thanks,Paul

Q: Between BAM and BEPC ...which do you prefer for income and growth in this current environment? I currently have a full position of BN for growth as well as a full position in BAM which provides some income but little growth as of late. I am considering selling BAM and moving to BEPC. I would appreciate your thoughts on this please.

Q: My daughter is starting a TFSA and as a full time student she doesn't have a lot of time. I have suggested a couch potato based strategy with rebalancing. I believe there are now ETF's that incorporate the whole strategy and the rebalancing and I am wondering if you have a few options to suggest with Canadian equity, international equity and a smaller bond component. Also if she wanted a buy once and hold forever type stock, what might be a few stocks to look at?

Hopefully this question goes through - I wrote up a similar one and even though it said success after submission the credits have not reduced and I don't see anything. I think this may have happened twice.

Q: I am not particularly proud to acknowledge that I own the above- but I do. ENGH and OTEX are in accounts that are structured for income and some growth, while DSG is in an account that is looking for primarily growth. Canadian traded is key for all. Looking for your input on these companies and whether there are better options that I am missing.
No hurry to reply; deduct credits as necessary.
Seconding the comment today regarding your recent report. Well done and I hope that now you have it you continue to update it as companies come and go. It is a great resource.

Q: I am looking for 6 undervalued stocks in the Canadian market. What would be as your top 5 picks in order of upside potential. I am interested in some of them to have dividends.

Q: Hi 5i. My son owns some Shop and Nike in his small RRSP account. What would you recommend as 1 or 2 stocks to add, and 1 ETF to add. This is for the long term as he is 32. Thx

Q: These continue to be beat down with crushing depreciation in Market Cap. Would you step into any one of these right now or any other names CDN or US that appear to be a screaming buy long term. If so,, what order would that be.

Q: Hello Team,

Are you able to rank the above companies for the greatest appreciation over the next 3 years in your opinion. Thanks.

Q: Hi guys,

In a balanced portfolio, when would you trim Brookfield (Bn) above 8%, 7%???

Thanks

Jim

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Happy Healthy Peaceful and Prosperous New Year to all the members of your excellent team. Including the lovely folks at CMS/MF Update!

My first question of the year!

A really "tough" and bit unfair question!
How can anyone choose a "favourite" child amongst their four terrific "kids":)
But here it goes.

Which is your favourite "child" for this year's TFSA contribution. For a "buy and forget" period!
CSU or LMN or TOI or.....BN :)
I have them in varying amounts in different portfolios!
All of them are up though CSU and it's "family" have lost a lot of their lustre.

Look forward to another good year with your team.

Make Portfolio Analytics "bit more personal", then I will come on board there as well :)

Q: What's a good 3-5 year hold in a TFSA, Canadian funds only. Looking for capital appreciation. for young adults who will use the money beyond this holding period, likely.

Q: Can you explain why BN would be considered a peer group for gold, silver and copper companies

Q: Greetings,
From a response from your office, I interpreted these five were suggested as still being good opportunities at present day prices. Did you mean full position or tranches etc?

Like many, I'm terrified of the impending pullback, especially with Tech names and what if prices fall by more than eg: 15%?

Secondly, what is your opinion on what might happen to the market, in the short term, if Trump keels over and dies?

With thanks, A

Q: What is holding Brookfield Corpn from being included in S&P 500 ?

Thanks

Q: Good afternoon,

I feel that I have constructed a well balanced equity portfolio of between 20-25 stocks, thanks in large part to you and your team.

I have identified the following as core positions, where each one represents between a 3-5% weighting:

RY
GWL
ENB
FTS
AEM
BN
NVDA
GOOG
AMZN

I know that there could be many additions to this list. But assuming I hold my "top picks" to these names, do you have any immediate concerns?

Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i Guys, Could you please rank the noted stocks in order of your expected growth in the next 3 + years? Thank you!
Happy New Year!

Q: I have 12 thousand to add to my tfsa what stocks would you recommend.

Q: Happy New Year!
Do you think the current share price of Brookfield (BN) already reflects their push into AI‑related infrastructure — power, land, data‑center buildouts — as well as the upcoming NVIDIA‑aligned chip and data‑center initiatives? I’m also curious whether the recent partnership with Figure, where Brookfield will host and support humanoid robotics training, is meaningfully priced in.
One thing I’ve noticed is that Brookfield’s revenue and EPS seem to jump around — up one year, down the next — even though the company appears to be growing overall. I’m trying to understand whether this volatility is just a function of their business model or something to be more cautious about.
From your perspective, what would be a reasonable entry point for the stock? And if you were to give Brookfield an overall rating (A, A‑, B, etc.), where would you place it? It seems to be a favorite among many investors, so I’d really value your thoughts. Thanks.

Q: Happy New Year!

I am looking at where to deploy my TFSA contribution for this year and would be interested to hear your thoughts. My largest position is BN at close to 5% so I am thinking of adding to my smaller positions listed above. If this were your portfolio, would you add this year's $7000 to one stock, or add smaller amounts to two or three stocks? Or, would you only add to BN as it is still at a sleep at night percentage?

Thank you!

Q: Dear 5i
What would be your order of preference for the above noted stocks with regards to earnings growth over the next 3-4 years within either a non registered acct or a TFSA ?
Thanks
