Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Nice report on AND. Just wondering if TFII operates in the same space. We've done very well with TFII (thanks, 5i) but are a bit low in Healthcare. AND looks promising, but want to make sure that it's complementary to TFII.

Thanks for your insight.

Q: I have enough money to top up one of my positions and bring it closer to 5%. These are the candidates. I am diversified, but maybe a little tech heavy. I have Topicus at 5% All are in my TFSA, so a growth tilt is appropriate. But I'm stuck in analysis paralysis. Does any one of these jump out at this time as a particularly good candidate to top up. I know you like them all, so I guess it is a bit like picking your favourite child. But go ahead and pick. Your insight will be appreciated, and much better than me flipping a coin.

Q: Earlier this year we created an equal weighted 'balanced' portfolio of 30 Canadian companies in a non-registered account. Most were chosen from companies either covered by a 5i research report or included in a 5i model portfolio. The remainder were chosen, based on the 5i Q&A section, from what appear to be 5i sector favourites. All purchases in the portfolio are made with the intent to be long-term holds (10+ years).

Our intent is to increase our investments in the 30 companies over time. We have recently increased our positions in BIPC and MG. At this time we would like to increase our investments in 10 of the remaining 28 companies. The intent is to increase the remaining 18 in approximately 6 months. Which 10 would you add to today? Please rank them, include a small blurb explaining each choice and indicate an approximate buy price. Thanks!

Q: Hi
I've got a 3% position in CAE currently in my RRSP. It's done well for me over time, but I'm thinking about selling it. If I do, I'm considering TFII as a replacement, if I stay in the industrial sector. However, I'm also considering GSY as an alternative. I'd like more momentum and a bit of a dividend, and without too much risk. What is your opinion on selling CAE and replacing it with either TFII or GSY? Which of TFII or GSY would you prefer at this time?
If you have another suggestion I'd appreciate hearing it. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have been trying to manage close to the BE Portfolio since the start of 5i and I want to continue.

I have some weightings I could top up now and I want to check if we should be adding to these today given recent run ups or if there are other names in the BE portfolio you would suggest as better adds today?

The names I was looking at first were PBH, TFII, KXS, and SIS but would like to hear if there's other names in the BE Portfolio we should be more excited about for new money today?

Q: Can you look into your crystal ball and give me a list in order which of the above stock would be best for growth in a 3 year hold.

Q: Dear 5i
I have the kind of investment problem (if you can call it that) with one of my stocks in my unregistered account . TFII has gained 170% ( thanks to your recommendation ) and represents about 10% within that particular account . Typically you recommend rebalancing a stock once it gets over 10% . I am reluctant to sell any portion of the stock as i`m not keen on paying taxes on the capital gains but at the same time don`t want to feel like i`m gambling somewhat by leaving the full amount in the account of this stock . What would you suggest ??
Thanks

Q: I own Air Canada and Cargo Jet and have done very well on both. With Air Canada expanding its Cargo's operation substantially, I wonder if owning both really makes sense. Do you think that replacing CJT with TFII, operating in a different segment of the logistic industry, would be a good/better move?
thanks for your help!

Q: Good afternoon. I hold 2 companies from each major sector of the economy. In the Industrial sector I own shares in CNR and CP.

I am considering selling CP and replacing it with TFII for diversification purposes.

Although the capital gains hit would be large as I have held CP for over a decade would you consider this to be a wise move or a foolish one?

Many thanks in advance.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team.
My question is regarding position weightings. I have trimmed TFII once since I have owned it but it continues to run and now represents about 8% of the account it is in. (Thank you so much for the original recommendation) I have owned CSU since $88 (Thanks again) and trimmed it along the way as well. After the last time I trimmed CSU I vowed to never trim it again unless Mark Leonard sells out or the wheels really fall off. How do you approach position weightings when the trend is your friend ? Thank you for your ongoing help. DL
