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

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide the names of some beaten down stocks that have a decent chance of recovery over the next year or two. This is a relatively short timeline but I'm looking for companies that still have a good balance sheet, are well managed, have good prospects, and yet have still been caught in the downdraft along with the negative market sentiment. Any sector and any market cap but with a focus on small to mid-cap. Thank you.

Q: Based on todays prices, which of the beaten up tech is the "best" (most likely to do well moving forward, best monopoly / moat safety, most safe earnings, best books today, best P/E) to buy for a long term hold (over ten years)?

qualifying them on the above characteristics would be appreciated or any other variable that you feel is important.

If my list missed any other tech considerations, please let me know.

thanks

Ernie

Q: May I have your pick-up among the compagnies in this index based on growth, management and ROE? I know that buy back program can be used for different purposes namely to invest in the business or to bonify executives salaries. Can you point out those actively buying back for the right reasons and if there is an ETF listed that mimics this index in Canada and USA?

Thank you very much

Q: In view of multiple technology stocks decline would you be in favor of gradually add such ETF to a portfolio to achieve desired technology sector and US geographic diversification percentage in someone portfolio ? Eventually such large technology stocks will be again dominating force in the economy growth. Do you have a different view for such approach?

Q: The three large auto companies mentioned are currently trading at 'low' trailing P/E (6.9 to 9.8) and forward P/E (5.7 to 8.5) multiples according to the Globe & Mail Investor service. Why would they be trading at, what on the surface, appears to be such 'attractive' levels?
Thank you. Edward

Q: I’m 59 and 20 years ago I transferred 62K from a union pension into a LIRA within the Royal Bank blue chip dividend fund that is now worth close to 200K,my question is could I convert this into cash and then transfer to a TFSA and not have to pay any tax because I never got a refund like I would have if it was coming from an RRSP
Or what are my options does it have to stay within some pension model ....Thanks

Q: My only consumer discretionary security is Aritzia (thank you) so I have been looking at VCR and XLY etfs. The top 10 holdings of XLY is 70% of the fund and top 10 holdings 56% of VCR. Do you have a preference? I don't have a problem with the large percentage of AMZN in either.
