Investment Q&A

Q: X's recent quarter showed exemplary revenue growth, but in the new environment of higher investment capital costs, what is the argument for thinking that growth on this scale (15% YoY) can continue? Put another way, has X become overbought relative to the growth potential of its recurring, rate-independent revenue streams?

Q: I'm overweight financials - almost 20% of my total portfolio. In relatively equal proportions I hold: BAM, GSY, SLF, X and V. Should I trim across the board or do these stocks have sufficiently different economic drivers that being 20% overweight is not a concern? Thank you.

Q: Please name and rank five Canadian stocks providing dividends > 2% that are likely to experience strong growth over the next five years. (Please exclude GSY as it's already owned and I'm assuming would be on the list.) Thank you.

Q: Please comment on recent quarter earnings. Thank-you.

Q: Do you feel that CSE and NEO pose any kind of threat to TMX dominance both near term and more importantly long term? Increasingly I’m noticing more and more companies exclusively listed on either CSE or NEO especially ETFs. I ask because TMX seems to be range bound for quite some time now and was wondering if the growing presence of these new exchanges perhaps have investors concerned especially after the recent takeover of NEO by a larger American company with significant financial resources.

Q: Are you aware of any companies like CSU that have a tight float and respect of shareholders and dont get killed in a market correction like some other public tech companies?

Thx

Q: I was about to buy a full position in X. No current exposure. Has anything change at the company in view of recent weakness?

Q: Hello. Can you please comment on the TMX Group results released last night. Do you think it is a good time to buy?

You guys do great work! Thanks

I currently own the following in those categories:
ATZ, BRP, CELPH. COST, LULU, MG, PLC, TSU, X, RY, SLF
What stocks would you buy today?

As a side note, Is there a publication or investment service you would recommend, for US and international holdings?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: All of the above are existing positions in my TFSA. Which three would you suggest adding to today?
Thanks

Q: My granddaughter has a TFSA that needs some increase in real estate and financials weightings. Would you consider TCN and GSY appropriate for a 3-4 year hold or would you suggest some alternatives?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: I own full positions in TD ( instead of BNS), SLF and BAM.A as my CAD financial holdings. I am thinks of adding a new name. Which is the better buy right now between X and FSZ. Balanced follower shifting to income follower. 5+ year hold.

Q: I tried to pull a stock list of B+ companies based on your reviews. Your thought on investing as an equal weight portfolio with a 5 year horizon.

Thank you!

Q: I have cash for a new full position. I run an mix of your balanced and income portfolio for my cad exposure. Of the above names which would you add a full position right now. I am also considering just batting for the average with SPY or XEF. balanced shifting to income follower, 5 year window looking for good entry point into one of the names above.

Q: I would like to add a few (2-4) financial companies to my non-registered investment portfolio. Would appreciate 5i's help in ranking the above names based on total return potential for a 3-5 year hold. Please add any names you feel belong to the lineup, ranked appropriately, Thank you.

Q: Dear 5i,
Is ICE basically the same type of business as TMX Group but, in different markets? Can I get your thoughts on these two? What risks are associated with these?
thanks

Q: Can I please have your comments, analysis on the TMX group recently announced earnings. Do you see it as a good long term hold? Thank You.

Q: Would these securities be appropriate for growth portfolio with medium term time horizon? Which one in particular would you consider a current buy and reasons why.
Thank you very much.

Q: Of the listed which 2 would you think have the greatest growth potential for a TFSA account over the next 5 years ? Could you suggest list any two others which you might think have better potential irrespective of sector.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: I'm considering buying TMX but the share price hasn't moved since the company report was released in November 2020. If deploying the cash position in the income portfolio would you purchase more TMX? What 2-3 positions are most worthy of topping up at this time? Thank-you.
