Q: TFI - TFSA or Unregistered account?

Bought 2.5% position in Cov on spec at $7 based on 5i's recommendation. Hold on or take the money and run?

RHT / TSGI- average down or be patient?

Thanks. Keep up the excellent work.

Best Regards,

KC

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Across all accounts, our Industrial holdings consist of BAD, ECI, NFI, SIS, and STN,
If I sell my Enercare shares held in my TFSA, would TFII be a suitable complementary industrial stock, or do you think that any of the above industrials should be let go or added to? All are up (especially ECI for which I thank you immensely) except for NFI in my wife's TFSA, although we have two other accounts that hold NFI which are up.
As always, thanks for your insight.

Q: There is only cash available in a LIRA, aka no cash in a non-registered account or TFSA.
At the same time, I would like to invest in three new positions - MG, TFII and WSP for a balanced portfolio. I have read in the past 5iR thought it preferable to hold MG in a non-registered account because of the cyclicality of the business but that if held in a registered account, then might want to trade around the cycles. I would like your take of holding these three companies in a LIRA that will start to be drawn down in about 2 years but will span, hopefully with good ageing, many years.....Thanks....Tom

Q: I can't view this. The link just takes me in a loop. What Am I missing?

New Report:
We are initiating coverage on a new company that has some history with 5i Research in that it took over a past coverage company a few years back called Contrans. This stock ticks most of the boxes that we look for at 5i Research and our main regret with this name is simply not covering it sooner. Login toview the report now.

Q: Greetings:
Thanks for the recommendation on TFII - i already own this one in my cdn accounts but am looking for a comparable in the US but many are trading at significantly higher multiples. Would CMI be consider a reasonable investment to consider. It is trading at a reasonable multiple, pays a good dividend and would benefit from the transportation theme. Your thoughts??

Thanks

Q: I am looking for a transportation company to add to my portfolio. With another delay in the TransMountain Pipeline, is now a good time to consider the rail companies, and if so, which one should benefit more from a possible increase in oil shipment?
With or without the oil shipments, is there another transportation company you would recommend instead, planning on a 5 year time frame?
Thank you
Grant

Q: Hello 5i, Thanks very much for all you do for your members. I look at your organization as the "Robin Hood" of the Canadian financial industry. My question today is: I sold my ECI this last week and decided to capture the gain and redistribute to one new position with the proceeds. I'm looking for another dividend aristocrat (as identified by the S&P index or one that could be as CIX will be getting the boot) I'm closing in on retirement but still like to stay in the growing type names. Not terribly worried about maximizing my income at this point. Which of my choices do you think has the most upside over the next 5 years.
