Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi, The listed companies have been where I have taken a big hit. As a novice investor the lesson I've learned is that it makes sense to average into a position, especially in an uncertain market. Losses in these stocks have taken over 5% of my portfolio. Can you comment please that all of these companies show promise for the long term, and there is good reason to say they will bounce back when the markets do recover? I know that MFC has a litigation issue, and TCL.A has an acquisition that is somewhat off the rails. I don't need this money for at least 15 years, but also want to feel sure I'm setting up my RSP for an increase within a few years. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Staff,
Even though I 'thought' I had elected to receive some BIP shares with the sale of ECI, I notice today that all of my ECI shares were sold. Thanks again to 5i.:)
ECI was held in my TFSA, and my only Industrial holdings in this account are SIS and TFII. If I want to stay in the same sector, would you suggest deploying the new cash by adding to either or both stocks, or investing in a new Industrial stock or even an ETF like ZIN? Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: I have held CNR and ALC for my transportation exposure for the last several years. I am not impressed with ALC's performance. Is TFII a good switch for ALC? TFII has had a good run and I am underwater on ALC.

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.
