Q: I need to clean up and rebalance my RIFF approx value $150,000.00
What would be your top 20 picks for an income portfolio I am 82 yrs young

Q: Hello 5i,

Could you please list your top 10 stocks (rank in order 1st to 10th) in Canada and the US to purchase now for a 3-5 year hold when considering current and future values?

Thank you
Cheers,

Q: Earlier this year I transferred my Magna shares from my non registered Canadian Account to my non registered US account in order to avoid money exchange charges. I am interested in selling the shares and would like to know if the same shares can be sold through my US account so I can use the US funds to purchase some beaten up ADSK and CRM shares this month.
Thanks for all the support in 2021.

Q: Further on Magna, why wouldn't Biden's desire to protect the US auto industry, in particular EVs, not be a risk to Magna?

Q: Is it a good time to buy MG?

Q: Today, stocks are on sale. Can you opine on which large and midcap CDN and US caps look like they are being hit for no fundamental reason? Thanks.

Q: Looking for a Canadian stock or two that provides both a reasonable dividend and some growth. Please rate the above-noted stocks on a scale of 1-10 for both growth and risk over the next 12 months. Thank you.

Q: I want to consider buying a small group of stocks (5-10) that would capture the future growth (my assumption) of electric vehicles. These could be vehicle manufacturers, companies supplying key input/parts or other beneficiaries of EV growth. Do you have suggestions?

Q: which of these two do you prefer?

Q: Hello 5i
I have been considering how to improve my TFSA in the New year and am asking you to advice on this. Currently I hold Bam, Magna, Boyd and Microsoft there,among others. I can replace these with Nvidia and Google. Which ones would you replace?
Thanks

Q: Can you suggest some Canadian companies, other than in technology, utilities or finance, that you currently consider to be undervalued and worthy of consideration for a long term investor. I've done very well with your suggestions of MG, WELL, ATA, TFII, EIF, PBH, GSY. I don't mind adding to any of the latter but would like to know if you see value ( or at least promising growth from today's prices) Thanks and best wishes always - Al

Q: hello 5i Research team,
When you answer that Magna be among the companies that will benefit from the increase trend toward sales of EV: can you elaborate on how and why, and also which of MG reporting segments (body exteriors & structures; power & vision; seating systems; complete vehicles) will benefit and especially how will it benefit. I cannot specifically identify a winner. My intuition says « power & vison » will probably loose from the transition out of oil (it represents about 30% of sales: which is about appropriate for an entier vehicle). Therefore if I am correct, there is no specific advantage for MG from the transition to EV. Please enlighten me. Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: I would appreciate your assessment of this company both in terms of the recent earnings report and future prospects. They mentioned that there are supply bottlenecks and cost inflation of labor, materials and energy that are affecting their results. So how do you see these being resolved and when? Would you be a buyer of these shares after Friday's drop? Please provide rationale for your position. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I’m overweight in Consumer Cyclical, and need to raise some cash for an underweight sector. Between CCL.B and MG, please rank them in order to sell a partial position. I like them both, so this is a tough decision! Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Q: Hi there, I am looking to pick up a few positions. I am underweight in consumer cyclical, real estate, financials, energy, and US. I have no holding outside N.America. My investment profile is Balanced to growth-oriented.
I currently own the following in those categories:
ATZ, BRP, CELPH. COST, LULU, MG, PLC, TSU, X, RY, SLF
What stocks would you buy today?

As a side note, Is there a publication or investment service you would recommend, for US and international holdings?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: what is expected from magna this quarter?

Q: Please suggest investment portfolio for a conservative 55 year old who opened a TFSA account with $50,000. Will not need to touch this money for the next 5 years.

Thanks for your valued service since 2014.
