Q: Dear 5i,
Here are the stocks I have left to purchase from your Balanced portfolio, can you please place these in order or how attractive they are at this time for a long-term hold? Also, is QQQ a good starting point for US focus holding in a registered account? Thank you.

Q: I have held CJT for a while, in a taxable account. I am down about 13%. In previous Q&A, 5I has leaned towards TFII when discussing these 2. On the other hand, CJT was covered in a 5I article a few weeks back, something like, "Growth on Sale", for stocks that had dropped a lot in the recent rotation but seemed to show potential to recover. And then there is CJT's deal with Amazon which also seems to be a good positive. So, although you have answered before, which of the 2 would you currently invest in. The tax loss offers some solace and benefit for a switch, but then there is a possible recovery??? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi team ,
Two part question: 1. Any insight as to why Toi has been dropping significantly the last couple days? It had held up nice while other tech took its dive , and now the last couple days when tech seems to be gaining ground it’s doing the opposite. Is this a chance to buy more ??
2. As of today what’s your current list of a few favourites you would choose you buy today for a long term hold, in any sector. US or Cnd . Thanks

Shane

Q: You recently commented that at this point you like TFII better than CNR and CPR. Could you elaborate and would you consider TFII a good choice for growth if we have inflationary pressures.
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i team. I’m trying to decide on investing in CNR, CP or something else in the commercial transportation industry. Could you give me your thoughts and feedback on their current state and future outlook to compare. Trying to understand why CNR has not recovered from last drop like CP did. Would CNR still be a good choice while the stock is still low? or would you suggest CP or something else at this time that would be better even if it’s a US company? Why? And could you rank them in order of strength in their ability to produce profits moving forward. thanks!

Q: Hi 5i team,
I’ve half position in CAE and in MG. I’m thinking of starting a half position in TFII. All three stocks have gone up quite a bit in the past year with the EV fads and the post covid fads. Which of these three companies is the best buy at the current price for 2-3 years hold and your reasoning behind? Thanks.

Q: Doing some spring cleaning and attempting to tilt my folio into more income and less growth/risk. I follow the BP almost exclusively and would like your opinion on which Div payers in the BP you would increase in weight, and what non Div payers you would decrease. Thanks!

Q: I am up 72% on TFII in my TFSA account, the total value of this holding represents ~2% of my portfolio. The funds in my TFSA are targeted for growth and I have no immediate need for the cash so I can take on reasonable risk for greater reward with a longterm view. Should I sell my holding to realize the capital gain or hold? If you suggest selling what would you suggest as a replacement?
