Q: Which of FTT or TIH would you buy here and why? I think Toromont has always been the quality choice but of course you have to pay a premium for it. Time for FTT or buy TIH while it’s below $100? Thanks

Q: Dear 5i,
I am considering buying these for a long term hold.
Is there a lot of overlap between DE and TIH.
Do you think one needs to own both or none?
If only one, which one would you prefer and what are the key reasons
you chose it over the other one. Thanks for your advice.

Q: These companies all seem to be at a premium to P/B ratios and have similar dividend yields and WSP is likely the company that is not a direct comparison within the group but all would be industrial based in my mind. Would you please rank your order of preference of the three for a three to five year timeframe. Thank you!

Q: I have historically held my investments in mutual funds through a financial advisor. I subscribed to 5i Research approximately 3 years ago and made my first investments in equities and an ETF based primarily upon information obtained from 5i Research. The returns on VGRO ETF and my equities have been 2 to 4 times the gain for my mutual funds. I recently upgraded my subscription to include Portfolio Analytics. Based upon portfolio analytics, my current portfolio is reasonably well balanced with recommendations to add healthcare and industrials as well as some international exposure. I have cash on hand that I want to invest. I will hold my investments for the next 5 to 10 years. I am looking at purchasing some additional equities and an ETF with good growth potential at moderate risk. Please provide top 10 recommendations with rankings for stocks that I should consider adding to my portfolio. Please provide recommendations for top 5 ETFs with rankings that I should consider adding to my portfolio. What is your current view on VGRO? Would you suggest topping up my investment in VGRO?

Q: Hi 5i,
The what appears to be steady business of Toromont stands out to me. What do you see as the major differences between Toromont and Finning today, and which do you prefer?

Thank you!

Q: To gain exposure to industrials would you prefer TIH, FTT, Stantec or another? Are TIH and FTT similar businesses, meaning would you ever hold both in the same portfolio with a limited number of holdings?

I am having a lot of difficulty trying to calculate or find Compound Annual Growth Rates [CAGR] of share prices without [and with] dividends reinvested. Do you know opf a reliable source?
Sources tend to differ a lot perhaps because of not properly accounting for share price stock splits.
I would appreciate it if you could give me CAGRs without and with dividends reinvested for
CNR, CP, TIH, RBA, TRI, BAM.A, RY, CSU.
Thank you......... Paul K.
