Investment Q&A

Q: This stock I bought at 66.00 is now 40.00 is it a sell , a hold or buy more.

Q: I am absolutely stunned by your constant promotion of BN.Why is this?
The dividend is almost none.
They have a high portion of their investments in commercial real estate,which looks more scary by the day.
The market keep telling us for a long time that BN is overpriced.
So why oh why do you keep mentioning BN in a favorable manner?
I know they are around for a long time,but so was Nortel and GE.

Q: Buy BN or BAM? why?

Q: Can you recommend 5 top value Canadian and 5 USA companies that have solid long-term businesses, with great management, a good P/E and have no debt or very low debt. Would really like to find a solid core of buy and hold names in any sector. It would appear to me that SLF would be one good choice.
Thanks!

Q: Good morning team,
Could you please give your take on these holdings .. keepers or let go? With the exception of TECK, I am down with the rest. Although they are good companies, they don't seem to have +ve momentum ..
I appreciate your thoughts ?
Thanks

Q: Paul today asked about exchanging Brookfield reinsurance shares for BN. Are all of the Brookfield shares interchangeable? I have some BAM that I have been planning to sell. But, if they are interchangeable that may be a better option.
Thanks as always

Q: I have 400 BN with an ave cost of $39.24 and current price $42.16
I also have 2 BNRE-ave cost $56.18 and current price $42.56

What happens if I transfer the 2 BNRE into BN with the different average cost and current prices?
Would it be better to keep them separated?

thanks,

Paul

Q: Which stocks are cheap and buyable Can be trade or long term hold.

Q: Dear Peter et al!

I am not good in coming up with limericks! If I were, I would somehow use Peter/Ryan and TD/BNS/BN in a limerick ! If I said you folks sound like a broken record it would be rude. May I say you sing that lovely tune that consists of notes TD/BNS/BN/RY always! Faithfully endorsing a buy on the above mentioned stocks.

But here is my question based on my mild bewilderment! On one hand your faith in BN is linked strongly to Mr. Bruce Flatt's managerial skills. But on the other hand BNS's CEO didn't meet your approval and you were at best very tepid in welcoming him! TD's foray into the M&A domain was a disaster!

Having said that my faith in your suggestions is unshakable! With this in mind, can you rank order these stocks in terms of priority of buying at this stage. How long do you think one has to wait for these stocks to return to decent price range. a year or two or three? Your crystal ball is lot clearer than mine!!

These are going to be held in our TFSAs and plan to buy and forget about them for a while! Keepers and not traders!

Q: Hi 5i team,

I have a growth and long term outlook and looking to trim some losers and replace with some winners. Of the following stocks, do you feel any need to hold for the long term? Also, what are some US/CAD replacements you would recommend and can you rank from highest to lowest based on overall strength?

Thanks 5i team.

Q: Good evening 5i.

The Marketbeat site indicates dividend increases for these companies (amongst others) during the month of May. I do not see the same increases on the 5i Dividend Updates page. Is Marketbeat correct?

Thanks

Q: Hi group what your out look on last Oct lows. Will we see those lows tested on this pullback? so should i wait to start adding to my portfolio or start nibbling I am sitting on 30% cash on 500K total value portfolio

2nd question -I presently own the following and want to add to them in what order and time frame? would you start to nibble CSU, BYD.CA, COST, CSU, KXS, ATZ, L, GSY, NVDA, GOOG, AMZN, NVEI,BN, BAM, SBUX, MSFT,AAPL, TECK, FTS, TFII, ENB, QQQ, GDXJ, GDX

Thanks for your valued opinion

Q: I may have missed a few, but pretty sure I've made every mistake trading in the stock market, although thanks to 5i I've done quite well over the years. Prehaps my biggest mistake is holding on to loosers too long and taking big hits. Recently I've promised myself to sell when I'm down 25%. So, I'm now down 25 or more % on these 4 companies but dont want to sell. What says you?

Q: Hi 5i,
what Brookfield entity has the largest exposure to Oaktree?
Is it BAM or BN or something else?
With credit markets tightening would you consider Mr. Marks skills as an incredible advantage for Brookfield?
thanks

Q: Can you provide the fair value of the following stocks: TSLA, SHOP, BN, GOOG, ATZ, NVDA, WELL, GSY, TOI, KXS, ECN, RCI.B ?

Q: Here is a stock that portfolio managers and analysts have extolled its virtues and proclaimed the shares a buy. Yet the shares are in perfect downtrend moving from high to low with no signs of forming a bottom. So where are all mangers who like this company. Surely all those who liked the stock a few weeks back should like the company even more today. Or perhaps a cynic might possibly think that the shares are being recommended to the unwary so that they can distribute their shares. A market technician would surely conclude that the shares are currently a sell. Perhaps you could shed some light on what you think is going on. And if you still like the shares, why and where a bottom might logically occur. Thanks.

Q: I have see. Reports from TD and elsewhere about how extremely discounted BN is. For example “ BN's 75% stake in BAM alone represents ~80% of BN's market cap. The market value of BN's stakes in BEP and BIP (~$17bln combined) more than offsets corporate leverage of ~$16bln, which implies that the market is assigning less than zero value to: 1) BN's stake in BBU (~$2bln); 2) the real-estate portfolio; 3) the insurance business; and/or 4) carried interest.”

How is this company not a “table pounding buy” at these levels given management’s record and current price.

Q: Hello 5I. If you had to flag potential screaming buys in the market today what would 5 of them be for a 1 year period and 5 year thanks.

Q: Disappointed with this stock performance. What are bears saying and what catalyst could help pivot with positive momentum?
